If you're in the world of multi-location marketing, you know Yext. As a pioneer in digital presence management, it offers a comprehensive, enterprise-grade platform to control brand information across the web. Its powerful technology can sync data to hundreds of online directories, and for massive corporations with dedicated teams and budgets, it can be a formidable tool.
However, many businesses looking for control and growth find themselves facing significant challenges with the Yext model. The platform's complexity can be overwhelming, the tiered support system can leave smaller clients feeling unheard, and most critically, its "rental" approach to data creates a powerful lock-in. If you stop paying, you risk watching your online listings degrade, undoing years of hard work.
If these challenges sound familiar, you're likely searching for an alternative that offers more empowerment, transparency, and a true partnership.
Enter Obenan.
Obenan is the Intelligent Growth Platform for Local Businesses, designed from the ground up to be the strategic partner you need to become visible in the new era of AI search. It's more than just a tool; it's a service powered by an AI "Co-Worker" that gets the job done.
Here are six reasons why businesses are choosing Obenan as the #1 alternative to Yext.
1. You Own Your Digital Presence, Forever
This is the most fundamental difference. With Obenan, you are not renting your listings; you are building a permanent digital asset. We work to correct and claim your business information across the web, and that information is yours to keep. If you ever decide to part ways, we simply stop the active syncing. Your listings remain intact and under your control. This customer-first approach frees you from vendor lock-in and empowers you to build long-term value for your brand.
2. You Get an AI Co-Worker Named "Obi"
Instead of another complicated dashboard to manage, Obenan gives you an AI Co-Worker, "Obi," that works for you 24/7. Obenan Intelligence (Obi) is designed to end marketing complexity and take critical tasks off your plate, for good.
- It Ends Review Stress: Obi drafts professional, on-brand responses to 100% of your reviews, protecting your reputation while you sleep.
- It Ends Content Headaches: Obi creates AI-ready marketing posts (like Google Posts) that help you show up as the answer when customers search.
- It Ends Guesswork: Obi analyzes your reviews and online visibility to find marketing opportunities, so you stop wasting money on strategies that don’t deliver.
3. A Laser Focus on AI visibility
The key to being found by AI-powered search engines like Google and ChatGPT is authority and consistency. Obenan focuses intently on the three pillars of AI visibility without adding the complexity of on-site tools you don't need. We master:
- Listing Management: Ensuring your core business information is correct and consistent everywhere.
- Review & Reputation Management: Building trust and social proof through constant engagement.
- Autonomous Content Creation: Actively publishing relevant content that establishes you as a local authority.
This focused approach delivers better results where it matters most: getting you found by customers.
4. Expert, Data-Backed Support for Every Client
At Obenan, we believe every customer deserves access to the best support. We don't have a tiered system where you have to pay more for expert help. All clients, regardless of size, have direct access to our team of seasoned local SEO experts and marketing professionals. We have a personalized approach with quick response times, and we treat customer feedback as the most valuable tool we have for improving our product.
5. Simple, Transparent, All-in-One Pricing
No complex enterprise contracts, no hidden fees, and no confusing feature tiers. Obenan’s pricing is straightforward: you pay a single, all-in-one monthly fee for each location you sign up. This includes access to all our services and our expert support team. This transparency allows you to budget effectively and know you're getting the full power of the platform without any surprises.
6. A True Partner for Your Growth
Obenan was built to be the "Intelligent Growth Platform for Local Businesses." This mission is in our DNA.
