    Sitejabber makes it easy to create social media posts, ads, and banners right from the dashboard, as well as add reviews to drive engagement, CTR, and produce more leads and sales. It allows us to grow and improve our SEO while increasing visibility on the internet thanks to our SEO-optimized business profile page that features our reviews. We may improve the visibility of our organic search results.

    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

    • Their analytics are sub-par to other tools that I use.
    • Their website can be a little clunky until you learn to navigate it.
    • It takes a long time to be fully on-boarded and running on the platform with all information syncing together.

    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
