Yext Listings: Why don't I see new inbound links?
You most likely won't see any new links from Yext because they use a URL redirect on all sites they control. Check the live listings an confirm. If you're using Yext for link building/gaining do-follow links on directories... It's probably best to consider alternative options. Most of the links to your website from those directories will actually pass through a redirect set up by Yext, then land you at the final destination (your website). One benefit of that redirect is so they can track click data in your Yext dashboard. I could be wrong, but you should check and see if you're seeing any new links from a Yext subdomain. I haven't used Yext in a while, but I remember seeing a redirect for past clients (when I was working in an agency. That might be worth checking out. Either way, you should have reporting in your Yext dashboard on all the listings that are live. Once again I'll stress that you should not be using Yext simply for building links.

Are xlinks in SVGs crawlable?
Yep, we'll be updating sitemaps accordingly to hopefully help bots figure this thing out. I guess the core of my question is how link juice/page rank is handled for these types of links. Part of the reason we are trying to build this is to move these links out of the footer and into the page body, so I want to make sure that these links are crawlable (which it sounds like they are) and that they'll still be passing the same value on to the various regional pages the map links to.
