Agencies and Consultants Now Able to Bring the Power of Digital Knowledge Management to Their Clients
Yext Inc., one of the leaders in Digital Knowledge Management (DKM), announced recently that it is launching the Yext Preferred Partner Program, a new program created to partner with digital marketing agencies and other service providers whose offerings complement the Yext Knowledge Engine. The Preferred Partner Program makes it easy for agencies to offer Yext’s Digital Knowledge Management technology as part of a holistic marketing solution for their clients, gaining access to tiered benefits to fuel agency growth.
“The rise of intelligence is fueling a major platform shift as consumers use services powered by AI and machine learning to find and engage with the businesses around them. No company can control the UI or AI of the future, but with the launch of the Yext Preferred Partner Program, Agencies can now control what these new services say about their clients,” said Howard Lerman, Founder and CEO of Yext.

The new program encompasses several points of collaboration between Yext and Preferred Partners, including:
- Mutual referral opportunities when Yext and Preferred Partners can work together to provide an augmented solution for the specific needs of a customer
- Dedicated sales support from Yext
- Partner-specific training
- Co-marketing opportunities
By allowing Yext to operate as an extension of a Preferred Partner’s team, the program expands an agency’s portfolio of offerings and opens up new revenue opportunities, while equipping the partner with more tools to best serve client needs.
“Our Preferred Partners are trusted advisors to their clients offering services including marketing, professional services, consulting, website-building, and ad-buying, and Digital Knowledge Management is a key component of their clients’ success in reaching consumers. We want to help these agencies grow, and this program makes this kind of collaboration easy for our Preferred Partners and their clients,” said Jonathan Cherins, EVP of Partner at Yext.
