AppSumo Originals
When I first started my business, I wanted to ensure that a lot of people understood who we were and why we were there. With KingSumo, it helped my business turn leads into loyal followers of our brand. I think in the world we live in, you have a short amount of time to try to win over the eyes of your prospective client, and the tools given to me by this software helped me immensely. Conversely, I think I should say while it was easy for us to learn this software and how to feel good about implementing it in our day to day lives, I think that some newer users to software such as this may be fearful of learning a software without a proper video tutorial.

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).

I love ShortStack's customer support. For the most part, they are available immediately through chat and respond to email inquiries within a very reasonable timeframe. As a longtime customer, they have accommodated my needs. Their platform is set up for all users - whether you are not very tech-savvy or an IT person, you can find ways to utilize your skills.

  • 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 apples and oranges. Kingsumo has a purpose and sets out on an easy path to get you to where you need to be. Other test management software, in my opinion, have gimmicks to them, and what I am looking for in the small business world I am in is simplicity and ease. KingSumo does just that!

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

They’re similar, but not the same type of product. Both offer great flexibility for a business.

  • 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.
