Search Experience Cloud company Yext announced it has partnered with the State of New Jersey for delivering residents up-to-date information about COVID-19 (coronavirus) with a new online information hub. The website covid19.nj.gov is utilizing natural language processing for understanding the questions people ask about the coronavirus and then delivers answers using data collected from multiple NJ state agencies, federal resources like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Federation of American Scientists “Ask a Scientist” interactive tool.
And as part of Yext’s commitment to helping government agencies and businesses provide verified information during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the company is offering its Yext Answers product for free for 90 days. This trial includes Yext’s COVID-19 Knowledge Graph plug-in — which adds Frequently Asked Questions about coronavirus sourced directly from the CDC to a website’s search experience.
Yext is known for helping brands regain and maintain a direct relationship with their customers. And Yext puts businesses in control of their facts online by delivering brand verified answers straight from the source — wherever their customers are searching. Companies such as Taco Bell, Marriott, Jaguar-Land Rover, and businesses around the world use Yext to take back control of the customer journey.
