Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How does Listing Sync Pro differ from Citation Builder?
- Listing Sync Pro syncs business name, address, phone number, and website to 40+ listing sites.
- Citation builder syncs the same information to three major data providers (TransUnion's Neustar/Localeze and Foursquare). Those providers are referenced by 300+ directories that update at their own intervals, typically over about three weeks.
- In short: Listing Sync Pro provides quicker (often instant) updates or listing creation to a focused network, while citation builder distributes data across a wider network over time.
How many sites are included?
Site counts vary by country and category. The table above lists typical ranges (for example, up to 40 or up to 70). Availability can change based on the publisher network.
Do I need to authenticate accounts on supported directories?
Managed networks generally do not require you to authenticate accounts on supported directories. for direct social or map connections outside the managed network, you must authenticate within those platforms.
Do voice assistants require a physical business location?
Voice search directories typically require a physical location.
Is duplicate suppression automatic?
Duplicate suppression is automatic in Listing sync Pro and a manual toggle in the Listing Sync Pro powered by Yext edition dashboard.
How quickly are updates published?

What happens when I deactivate Listing Sync Pro?
- Listings become unmanaged by the syndication network and no longer receive updates through the product.
- Without active management, details can become outdated over time. Some sites also allow user suggestions on unclaimed listings.
- Outcomes vary by the specific services previously in use and the publishers involved.
