SAN JOSE, CA MAY 31, 2017 -- Kukui Corporation, the leading provider of integrated marketing software solutions for the automotive repair industry has partnered with Yext Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the digital knowledge management provider, to provide extraordinary searchability and credibility for users of the Kukui All in One Success Platform.  



Since search engines value consistency, inaccurate and duplicate business directory listings can harm a shop’s local SEO.  The addition of Yext Listings adds peace of mind for shop owners that their location data is consistent, across 100+ digital services globally. Yext’s patented Duplicate Suppression process finds and suppresses duplicate listings at the publisher level, so motorists won’t see incorrect or incomplete data about the business.


“We’re excited to add the Yext service to our customer offerings.” said Todd Westerlund, CEO of Kukui, “This partnership gives us one more step to greater support our mission of enhancing and maintaining the health of our customer’s online business.”


In this partnership, Kukui will provide the Yext service as part of their SEO upgraded package which includes Yext, Social Media Postings and an ongoing link earning campaign to build inbound links. Customers may also opt-in to the Yext Listings service as a stand alone add-on. With either option, Kukui’s team of SEO experts will utilize the Yext service to manage the client's listings for them.
