Grade.us is a great way to implement a process/system for continuously garnering a steady stream of reviews from your clients.

SOCi, Inc
SOCi is a fantastic tool for a franchise business because it provides the ability to post in bulk while also posting localized content. So, you can share the same basic content across all of your locations, but SOCi's tagging system inserts a location's phone number or website for each individual location. This helps create a localized feel and personalized touch -- but you only schedule one post, making it easy and efficient to localize content in mass posting. This principle applies to paid ads as well. Because of these features, SOCi may not be the best platform for companies with just one location

There are some aspects of the scheduling of posts that could be more user friendly for the less tech-savvy users.

We have not had to contact support so there is nothing to say in response to this question. We are sure that if we needed to contact them we would be able to get any issues resolved quickly

Different scopes in total, but G.us does a far better job in review management and social proof growth.

Soci is a lot better. It’s more user friendly and it makes better for one platform to have all my accounts on
