The Yext replacement
for local businesses.
Ready to leave Yext? Bird Local is the all-in-one switch — more reviews, higher local rank, and AI-search visibility, without the cost or complexity.
Why owners leave Yext
Yext is listings-first and built for enterprises — overkill and overpriced for most local businesses that just want more reviews and rank.
What you get with Bird Local
Bird Local leads with reviews and visibility, adds GEO/AEO and social, and handles listings via BrandingSignal — all at SMB pricing.
Switching is simple
Connect your Google, Facebook and other profiles in minutes — your reviews and history come with you. The AI agent picks up where Yext left off, and there’s a 7-day free trial so you can run both side by side before you commit.

Questions, answered
Is it hard to switch from Yext to Bird Local? +
No. You reconnect your review platforms in minutes and your public reviews stay where they are — on Google, Facebook and the rest. Bird Local simply takes over requesting, replying and tracking. Run both during the 7-day trial if you like.
Will I lose my reviews if I leave Yext? +
No. Your reviews live on the platforms themselves (Google, Yelp, Facebook), not inside Yext — so switching tools doesn’t remove them.
Is there a free trial? +
Yes — 7 days free, no credit card, set up in minutes.
