NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc.
(NYSE: YEXT), the Search Experience Cloud company, today announced
the launch of its WordPress Answers Connector, a plugin that allows
WordPress users to seamlessly integrate Yext's innovative site
search product, Answers, into WordPress pages.
Launched in 2019, Yext Answers applies advanced natural language
processing (NLP) with Bidirectional Encoder Representations from
Transformers (BERT) technology to better understand how people ask
questions in order to return accurate, official answers. With this
plugin, the company can now help even more businesses deliver a
superior customer experience, drive more transactions, and lower
their support costs.
"More than one-third of the world's websites run on WordPress —
and with most relying on legacy keyword-based search, that
translates to a lot of unanswered questions and lost conversions,"
said Marc Ferrentino, Chief Strategy
Officer at Yext. "Now, each WordPress site is just a plugin
download away from delivering a cutting-edge search experience and
enjoying increased conversions with Yext Answers."
Yext's WordPress Answers Connector presents an out-of-the-box
solution that minimizes the need for an IT team to manage an
effective search experience. Once WordPress users who have a Yext
account download the plugin, they can use the provided shortcodes
to add the Answers search bar and search results page.
