LocalClarity vs. Sendible

Any multi-location brand that has 20 locations and more, who wished to effortlessly manage their reviews from all review sources including the Apple and Google store, manage their location listings, promote their brand by utilizing Google and Facebook posts, drive their individual Google search rankings and engage all stakeholders in managing the brand's reputation, LocalClarity is the only choice.

I have a fairly straightforward use case for Sendible and it meets almost all of my needs. If you are a small company that needs a collaborative solution to social media content creation, and likely has a small team (or no team) to manage social media postings, I think Sendible is likely a great tool to schedule posts and largely automate social media marketing. A larger company or more involved marketing team could still use Sendible to schedule and collaborate on posts. However, there may be additional features they may want or need (like the ability to promote posts) that may not be available with Sendible.

• Simplifies the review management process for multi-location clients
• Simplifies the local listing management process for multi-location clients
• Provides crisp and intuative reporting to all stakeholders
• Enables brands to easily take advantage of Google and Facebook posts
• Adapts quickly to the changing needs of the market and it's clients

• Easy to schedule and post to all of your social media platforms.
• Customer support is very accommodating and always there to help. I have never had an issue with reaching someone whether it was for a quick question or to demo other features.
• They have an awesome affiliate program (example: I earned over $600 from one company clicking through an signing up from my affiliate link - yay!)
• Compared to other social media platforms, Sendible has been the most robust with features and ease of use.
• They are always making advances and upgrades to their service offerings to better meet the needs of their customers.

• The LocalClarity of 24 months ago and even of 12 months ago, is not the LocalClarity of today. Their ability to listen and adapt to their clients needs is truly remarkable. We will always find the need for improvement with any solution we use but LocalClarity's is near perfect and I have no doubt, based on my personal interactions with the LocalClarity team, the solution will continue to be near perfect.

• Inbox. The inbox of incoming messages/posts is very clunky. Threads are separated into individual messages, making it difficult to follow conversations.
• Reporting. The included reporting features are limited and don't allow for enough customization to be worth using.
• Hashtags. When discussing the 10 most common mistakes (or whatever the title might be), we are unable to say "You won't believe #3" because the system reads this as a hashtag to link rather than just a number. It adds on editing time when approving posts.
• Default settings. As a Social Media Manager, it is annoying to have myself set as default when looking at the content calendar. I don't write the posts, just approved and schedule them, so manually entering in my writers' names in the filters could be made easier by making this an editable feature.
• Instagram. You cannot post multiple images in a single Instagram post from Sendible.
• Service Lists. They are supposed to be helpful in grouping your services (we do this by brand), however, these lists don't pull the information you put on individual services. So if I have a list with Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for Brand A, you can't just add the Brand A Service List filter onto the calendar and see all of those posts that are scheduled. They don't seem to have much purpose at all.

If I am given a larger budget to work with then I'd like a program that tracks and collects my PR hits, as well as sends me important info to respond to. I realy like the way New Brand Analytics tracks my Trip Advisor,etc ratings

Sendible has a great resource center which I have used multiple times throughout my year using the platform. There are plenty of troubleshooting articles and guides that make it easy to uncover the root of any small issues I may have.

None of the above keep up with LocalClarity. That's the reason we decided to partner with LocalClarity and we're proud to have done so. It's one thing to use the solution for yourself but when you engage a leading brand client you already have a relationship with to a solution, making a mistake is not an option...and not once have we felt we made a mistake introducing LocalClarity to any of our existing clients.

While lacking in some features compared to those big alternatives, Sendible doesn't stop releasing new features every few months and doesn't cost nearly as much monthly as they do for the amount of profiles they allow to manage. Overall I'd say it's a solid competitor if they keep the updates coming and optimize the platform a little

• Due to the way LocalClarity was designed, it provides an automatic reduction in the resources required to handle the daily needs of a mideum to large multi-location chain...and who doesnt like to get the job done right with less resources and costs!
• With the use of LocalClarity, even as a simplistic example, our clients see an increase in their review ratings, an increase in the number of reviewers posting reviews, an an increase in brand stakeholder engagement working diligently improve customer satisfaction.

• It helps my business, to manage my clients social media.
• However I was hoping to capture more people who want to use the tool as DIY which has not happened.
• I do not want to let it go but it is currently more of an expense then bringing in a return.
