Step 2: Yext Requirements
In order to use Reserve with Google on your listings in Yext, you’ll need to make sure that you’re using eligible entity types and categories, that your entities have the Reservation URL field populated, and that your listings are live on Yext.
Entity Types and Categories
Reserve with Google can be used with Yext for any live listings that are synced with Location or Professional entity types. This can include Locations, Restaurants, Healthcare Facilities, Healthcare Professionals, Financial Professionals, and other types.
Entities must also have a Google-approved primary category assigned. Categories can be assigned to entities in Yext Content. For more on categories, see the Categories training unit or Categories reference.
Reservation URLs
Each entity that is synced with a listing where you want to use Reserve with Google must have the Reservation URL field populated. This is the URL that the user will be brought to when they click the Reserve with Google CTA on the Google listing. This URL should be specific to the location.
To check whether this field is populated, navigate to Content > Entities. Click on one of your entities and locate the Reservation URL field (you can use the Search Field pill at the top of the entity to do this).
If this field is not populated, you should fill this out for your entities now. This can be done individually, or in bulk using a File Upload connector.
Live Listings
Your listings should be live on Yext and syncing to Google. To launch your listings in Yext, see the Launch Your Listings in Yext guide.
