Chose ReputationStacker
We did demos with all of them. Birdeye and Podium seem to handle reviews well, but they also have a lot of other features we'd never use. We chose ReputationStacker because of its dedicated focus on reviews (getting them, monitoring them, responding to them). That's all we …

Birdeye
For businesses that have customers or clients or patients with several different locations, Birdeye is essential to help with the reviews and messages received through Google and other platforms. For businesses with only 1 single location, Birdeye could still be useful but wouldn't be as essential as it would be for other businesses.

ReputationStacker
ReputationStacker is extremely well designed for multi-location practices that care about improving and protecting their online reputation and visibility in local search engine results (which is extremely important for our business). It makes it easy to consistently generate reviews for each location and address issues that patients have before they become bigger problems. If you’re looking for an all-in-one marketing platform, this isn’t that. It's just focused on online reputation and reviews and it does that really well (instead of trying to do everything).

Cons
Birdeye
  • 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.

  • Adding additional locations of our business wasn't obvious at first, but when I figured out how to do it it was easy after that.

I think it is a good tool overall, there are some hiccups but what program doesn't have them. I think we should be notified of more things, specifically broken integrations. There have been instances where I don't notice for MONTHS a client it's having requests sent out because they are organically still getting reviews.

Usability
Birdeye
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.

We had our marketing person set it up, and now it automatically gets us Google reviews. It couldn't be easier.

Birdeye
Support is really responsive for the most part. I don't feel like they explain it the best for people who aren't as tech-savvy. I have recently had trouble with a more difficult integration and it is hard to pinpoint who I need to reach out to.

Birdeye
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.

ReputationStacker is all about on reviews and customer experience. It's not trying to be more than that and add a bunch of other features that we either wouldn't use or are already part of the other tools that we use

Return on Investment
Birdeye
  • SEO has increased due to online rep increasing
  • Review count has come up significantly due to having a platform that helps
  • The system puts reviews and where they are coming from into perspective to try and obtain more in other ways

  • We pay $99 per month per location and our clicks and calls on our Google Business profiles have gone up a lot since we started using ReputationStacker. One additional new patient per month more than covers the cost of it, and it helps us get way more than one new patient each month at each location. I'd estimate we get a minimum of 5 or 6 new patients a month per location because of ReputationStacker.

ReputationStacker Screenshots

Screenshot of ReputationStacker's review management interface, which helps businesses of all sizes get more reviews, respond to them, share them on social media & their own websites, and manage their entire online reputation from a single dashboard.Screenshot of ReputationStacker's review monitoring dashboard. It monitors reviews from over 100 review sites, from Google to industry-specific review sites (like Avvo for lawyers and Healthgrades for doctors).

The user can respond to reviews directly from the ReputationStacker dashboard, and assign reviews to teammates for follow-up, share reviews as posts on social media pages, and share reviews on a company's website via the Review Feed widget.Screenshot of ReputationStacker's reports. These help to turn the qualitative feedback from online reviews and customer feedback into quantified data.

ReputationStacker works for single-location SMBs, but for multi-location online reputation management, the system is not only designed for automatic review generation, but also to run apples-to-apples comparisons of a business's locations to discover what customers really care about, including what's being done right, to where improvements can be made.Screenshot of ReputationStacker’s automated review generation, which requires no manual follow-up. The system lets you set your ideal timing and delivery method (email, text message, or both) so each review request feels natural.

Review request templates in ReputationStacker are also customizable. So if you want to sound more casual or more formal you can customize them to fit your brand.

ReputationStacker's review request forms are on-brand and customizable so you can collect more customer feedback on the frontend, or streamline things and send customers directly to the review sites that are most important (Google, of course, but also niche and industry specific review sites).Screenshot of ReputationStacker's AI review responses stand out for a few reasons: 

1) Their prompting allows you to dial-in your brand voice so responses sound like they're coming from you and not some generic review response generator.

2) You can train the system on your previous responses so AI-generated review responses sound just like how you've replied to reviews in the past. 

3) You can set the threshold at which the system automatically responds to reviews (for example: "Only auto-respond to 5-star reviews") and when to let you approve, re-generate or edit the response before you send it.Screenshot of ReputationStacker's review widgets can showcase reviews on a company website. You can choose which reviews you want to show (for example, you can create a Google review widget that only displays Google reviews that mention a specific service), and every time a new review comes in that meets your criteria, the system will automatically add it to the widget.

The widget can be customized with a few clicks. Copy the embed code and paste it on a website wherever the review should appear.

You can even add multiple review widgets on your site to highlight specific services or locations.
