Birdeye vs. Chattermill

I think Birdeye is great for businesses that use a CRM system that is able to integrate with Birdeye so that clients are automatically pulled into Birdeye and sent review requests. I would also say this is more suited for businesses that see multiple customers and clients weekly versus businesses that maybe only have one or two clients a month. Ex: Dentist offices get great returns, but contractors/real estate agents may not be as great.

Think about large scale ecommerce store (with thousands customers, and hundreds of orders every week). If you want to manage a large scale customer's feedback - this tool is for you. It is too complex for small projects, but for large one it is perfect. Has some minor issues, but in general it will help you to draw a Customer Journey Map, find "hot spots" and implement solutions. Great visualization (in reports) is a huge benefit of Chattermill (and sentiment analysis of course). Thanks to connection between customer support system (like ticketing system) it will allow you to manage support/returns/warranties feedback also. I dont know how it works for other businesses but for large scaled ecommerce it is perfect

• The sentiment feature is just okay. It requires custom adjustments and time to understand where it is working well and where it is not in order to get the most out of it, while other features require very little user input.
• Social listening needs work. I often receive notifications for unrelated terms because of their similarity in spelling to my organization's name, so I don't use this feature.
• Birdeye could have more built-in features to create digital content from the reviews.
• Birdeye could also have additional reputation tools to strengthen GMB listings and to combat negative press. Review listings and rich snippets in search are great, but having a tool that measures and helps to improve overall brand health/search results would be amazing. My CEO isn’t looking at what is going right. He looks at what is going wrong. We may have thousands of positive reviews on Google, but the bad article with false information is still showing up on page one of search results. That makes for an unhappy CEO.

• More report types

Birdeye is extremely beneficial in generating new reviews for clients and there is a direct impact on their business from these reviews.

I think it is very easy to figure out very quickly by just playing around in the dashboard. If you have a question you can reach out to our contacts and they do a very good job of figuring out if or what is the problem and getting back to us fast.

Super easy to use and very intuitive

The customer support is usually very fast in getting someone connected with you to figure out a solution. Sometimes the communication following up on how they did can be a little much, but they are just practicing what they preach and doing what they know best. People are usually very friendly and knowledgable also.

Our choice of reputation management platform came down to two contenders, Birdeye and Listen360. Ultimately we chose Birdeye because of their ethical review gathering process. Listen360 had review-gating built in as part of their process, which is against Google's terms of service. We wanted to be very careful to gather reviews in an ethical way, and Birdeye was better for our needs.

Chattermill is more complex, easier to integrate between systems that we used (ticketing, livechat, reporting, CRM). Very informative reports (that will reveal what your customers really think). Custom reports creation is a benefit too - it is easier than in other systems. Automatic categorization of feedback is a helpful tool that do big part of job for you

• My clients have experienced very large increases to overall SEO and SEM traffic after reviews began coming in, this has increased CTR and conversions through ads to generate more revenue than ever before.
• The old-school gated review processes were wonky and required way to much time with hands-on functionality. With BirdEye the software manages almost all the work, so we can spend less time manually managing reviews.
• Being able to provide local SEO and reputation management as a service option has increased our overall retainers while driving more growth for our clients. It's a win/win for relatively low investment.
