The verdict
Yext is worth having for directory consistency. But consistent directory listings are a prerequisite for Map Pack ranking, not a path to it. After you fix your NAP with Yext, you still need MapPack to generate the signals that move your position.
Bottom line
Free until you rank. No other service offers that.
No card. No contract. We only get paid when your business appears in the Map Pack.
