The enterprise directory platform vs the autonomous 360° marketing suite

Why is enterprise directory syncing no longer enough?

Yext is a long-standing US player specialised in listings management: it locks and syncs a store network's information (address, hours, phone) across dozens of platforms (Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Facebook, Yelp).

01

The limits of traditional presence management

Locking the accuracy of your contact details avoids customer-journey errors, but it remains a passive and expensive technical infrastructure.

02

No acquisition content produced

The platform does not produce the authority content needed to grow sales, does not organise acquisition campaigns and does not directly influence how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Claude recommend your brand.

03

From diagnosis to deliverables

The 360° Scan assesses your brand's overall maturity, measures what generative AI says about your offer, detects growth opportunities, then writes GEO-optimised articles, email sequences, promotional offers and press releases.

Global acceleration with Zenplan

Zenplan offers a complete alternative focused on commercial value: one analysis, a prioritised action plan and all the marketing material ready to publish.

Choose on evidence, not promises

Before deciding, compare the actual scope, the deliverables you get, the analysis method and the purchase terms.

Two distinct scopes

Yext syncs and structures location data across partner directories. Zenplan analyses a business's global and AI presence, then produces the marketing deliverables.

Results you can review directly

The 360° Scan returns scores, analyses, recommendations and content ready to review and use with your teams.

An explicit method

Conclusions rely on the business's data, its market, its reviews, its competitors and its visibility on AI engines.

No commitment purchase

A free preview lets you evaluate Zenplan. Prices are displayed and purchases involve no subscription or automatic renewal.
