What is YextBot?
About
YextBot is a web crawler operated by Yext that helps customers retrieve and organize content from their websites to maintain consistent brand information across digital channels, directories, and search platforms. You can see how often YextBot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
The behavior of intelligence gatherers depends on the goals of their clients. For example, a client might be interested in brand sentiment, in which case the agent would crawl related social media or blog posts at a more frequent rate than unrelated websites.
