Birdeye is integral to the success of our multi unit brand. We see every day how our restaurants are performing. With hundreds to thousands of restaurants we need input from guests. Birdeye helps us benchmark greatness.
  • The dashboard let’s us identify stars and opportunities.
  • Birdeye enables operators to take action daily and recover unhappy guests.
  • Birdeye identifies strengths and weaknesses for the brand and by site.
  • Birdeye has been a best in class provider for years. They listen, respond and act.
I would recommend Birdeye for all multi unit brands. Best in class.
Best in class.

We use Birdeye to manage our online reputation and customer experience across multiple organizations. Birdeye improves our online image by increasing review quantity, quality, and the overall rating level. Birdeye also improves the customer experience by giving us the visibility and tools we need to swiftly address any customer concerns or issues.
  • It is simple to use. The features are straight forward and do what they promise; improve and maintain your review rating and volume, while also managing the customer experience.
  • Reporting is a strength. Birdeye makes pulling relevant data and visuals for my executive team a snap. They can easily see what they are paying for.
  • Client support is top notch. One day or one year later, their support team is always communicating to ensure you have the best experience. It saves me time and improves performance.
  • Birdeye is always innovating. I am amazed at the amount of useful products and features that Birdeye continues to add. There are a few features that are not very useful, but we benefit from the majority of the features.
  • Scalable. There are currently no caps on the amount of users that can be added at no additional cost to the organization and you can add a single location to thousands.
  • 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.
If you want to increase online review volume and ratings while saving loads of time, Birdeye will do that for you. Small or large business, Birdeye can support you. Birdeye does not include support for all 3rd party review platforms based on the policies of those platforms; however, Birdeye is willing to work with its clients and aggregate 3rd party data into their platform so that you can stay on top of your reputation and client needs without the need to spend time always heading to those 3rd party websites.
Before we even purchased Birdeye their team was incredible to work with. Their implementation team was fantastic and they continue to provide a high level of support throughout the entire relationship.

We use Birdeye primarily for brand reputation management and curation of online reviews. We use it across our entire organization and have built it into our front-line staff's workflows when assisting our members. It has significantly impacted our online brand presence, since prior to working with Birdeye we had virtually no online reviews out there.
  • Their support is excellent. Always fast and efficient.
  • Implementation was easy and fast. You are assigned an implementation manager to get everything connected.
  • Birdeye is constantly innovating and creating new value through added features and functionality. They're much more than just online review curation.
  • There really are no cons in terms of functionality.
  • It can be a bit pricey depending on your industry and how many locations you have.
I would highy recommend Birdeye to any company or industry that is actively searching to incorporate a proactive brand reputation management strategy for their organization.
Support is excellent. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable. If there's an issue that is more in depth, your ticket will be escalated and addressed quickly.

We started using Birdeye to aggregate customer reviews from multiple platforms and publish them on our website and Social Media accounts. We have recently included their Virtual Receptionist (VR) and Chat feature which we have integrated onto our website. The VR allows customers to leave a message and the message is converted from speech to text. We can review the audio of the message or view the converted text which is also available to communicate with a customer via SMS. The chat feature allows customers to communicate with us via SMS thru our website
  • Aggregates customer reviews from multiple platforms and posts the reviews to our website and SM accounts
  • Provides a Virtual Receptionist to take messages and convert speech to SMS-ready text
  • Allows SMS texting functionality from our website
  • Speech to text conversion can be improved
  • We have made improvement suggestions for the SMS message management
We have found that they have been a welcome addition to our marketing and communication effort and continue to add functionality that helps us to improve in these efforts
Very responsive

We currently use Birdeye internally and externally for all of our reputation management client base.
  • Ease of use/CX
  • The wealth of data you can pull
  • Insights
  • Functionality with platform APIs
  • Ability to respond natively to platforms aside from Google and Facebook
  • Reporting! Please make them look client-ready instead of being so .csv-heavy.
As I've not used other platforms much, I'm inclined to think Birdeye does what it does well and better than most. Bringing Birdeye to a client immediately sets them at ease for the tasks at hand.
Support can always be better. I feel like there are shifts in leads at Birdeye all the time and it's hard to create a relationship with someone only to then be told you're being re-assigned. Would be nice to stick it through with someone for more time than a year or less. Not sure of the varying degrees of support and what's offered based on how much you spend with Birdeye, but that seems to be a heavy factor on the outside looking in.

The support is top notch. everyone is super friendly and help you navigate the platform when your are a new learner or even send email to follow up. Their support has always been there whenever we want to try something new. Watching videos has helped understand more what Birdeye can offer. Best investment made!

We use [Birdeye] mainly to request review from clients. As soon as we are completed with their service needs , we send out due to the ease of Birdeye’s process. Anyone in our office can quickly accomplish this. They are continually adding additional features that we look at and see if they will be useful for our needs.
  • Easy online format for users
  • Very ease of use for the client that receive our request
  • Accomplishes reviews for multiple platforms
  • Reminders that requests were ignored not completed
For our business of mortgages this format is great
I haven’t needed it

We began using Birdeye a few years ago to improve our profile and encourage patients to review our medical office so we knew what we were doing correctly and places we can improve.
  • Set up was easy
  • Customer Support if very knowledgeable and helpful
  • So far there is nothing I can see Birdeye improving upon. I would just want to make sure they keep up on the newest most successful platforms available.
Birdeye has been an excellent fit for us. They are able to perform their daily data pull without us ever knowing, it's seamless. Our patients have responded favorably and left some wonderful reviews and a few not so good, but few and very far in between. It's easy for them to leave reviews, not complicated at all.
Customer service from implementation to a few follow up questions have always been handled with knowledgeable staff who are very nice.

[Birdeye] is incredibly user friendly, quick and easy to use. Fantastic marketing tool as the review will be seen on the platform of your choosing.
  • User friendly
  • Great marketing
  • N/a
Birdeye is well suited in an industry where word matters. Many businesses carry their pride in not needing to advertise as the word of mouth is much more trustworthy.
Always a call away

BirdEye has a "chat" button on my website that allows potential clients to text me regarding legal issues they are experiencing. It also provides a rating service that is texted to clients after legal services have been provided asking them to rate how we did bases on a 5-star system.
  • The rating process is very easy and quick for clients to use.
  • It being quick and easy results in clients actually rating my services.
  • None that affect me. However I know that my web manager had issues with the chat button being buggy on the website.
BirdEye is designed to get clients to rate your services. I have had the most success in having a client rate my services on the day my legal services have concluded. Having the service be sent by text message to my client is the most effective way to get a response. I have (on my own, without BirdEye) tried emails in the past which were ineffective. Test messaging works best.

Birdeye is currently being used for both of our companies Revise Energy and DiPietro Heating and Cooling. It is helping us gather all of the reviews we receive on all channels and respond to them quickly and efficiently. It also has helped prevent negative reviews from being published and allows us to address issues with customers privately versus publicly.
  • Displays reviews from all companies in one place
  • Easy to switch between company views (if you have several locations, etc.)
  • Gives customers the chance to message us directly with issues vs leaving 1 star reviews
  • Easier time uploading contacts when sending out a review blast
  • Options to send out text/emails to customers that aren't review related (such as taking advantage of other opportunities within the company)
Since companies are relying more and more on reviews these days to gain business, BirdEye helps get you visibility to potential customers by showcasing the best reviews (4 and 5 stars). Plus, you can create response templates; responding to new reviews is simple and quick, versus having to type up something new every time.

Maintaining a strong reputation is critical to success in our business. Customers have a choice to make between us and our competitors. Providing prospective customers with a strong reputation established by existing and former customers is vital to them selecting X-tra Storage. Birdeye provides the service easily and affordably for us to maintain our strong reputation.
  • Easy to onboard from a competitive service.
  • Excellent support when needed. Easy to integrate into our property management software.
  • Honestly, I cannot provide a constructive criticism.
I believe I have already expounded on this.

BirdEye is being used by our field staff. After a service call is completed the software is used to request online reviews and gain feedback into what customers think of our service.
  • Encourage customers to write reviews
  • Allows us to monitor review activity by associate and also how they associate is performing in the field
  • Reports
It is good at any organization that is looking for a way to manage and increase online reviews and monitor performance of associates in the field.

BirdEye customer service has been dependable, accessible and has worked hard to get us solutions we need. We have been very happy with the effects of the BirdEye implementation. We use this system to help us provide the best patient service we can. It gives us insights into patient needs and wants. We find it to be the most cost-effective reputation management tool on the market.
  • Customer service.
  • Implementation.
  • A local rep to have a face to face conversation with at times would be helpful.
  • Ability to adjust review template more than as is.
BirdEye is terrific for sharing patient comments to a website and social media!

We use BirdEye to manage reviews and surveys for our small home building company, as well as our fencing company. We have significantly increased our positive presence for both companies online through BirdEye.
  • Review management.
  • Easy to use.
  • Clearer communication from sales department.
  • Allow more than one photo on the BirdEye review site created for each account.
BirdEye is extremely easy to use, so it is well suited to companies that don't have a dedicated IT/social media team. The survey feature costs extra but can be a very useful tool for companies that don't naturally see their areas for improvement. If your company is new or doesn't have much online presence, BirdEye can help boost reviews fairly quickly, as it is intuitive and simple to use for both the reviewer and the company.

Birdeye is being used by our entire organization as a whole. We wanted to give Birdeye a shot because as a new business, we didn't have much exposure online. We wanted to find a way to quickly grow our business while also involving actual clients. Getting our clients involved has helped spread the word about our services.
  • BirdEye gets the client involved in our business.
  • BirdEye seeks feedback shortly after the client visited our business, while it is still fresh!
  • Sometimes the software is a little finnicky (constantly having to reconnnect our Facebook to the BirdEye software)
  • I sometimes feel like the UI is a little difficult to navigate.
BirdEye is well suited for our business because it allows the client the opportunity to provide us with feedback, whether that feedback is positive or negative. When it is negative, it gives us the opportunity to reach out to that client to apologize and seek for a way to make them happy with their experience.

BirdEye is used at my company by the Customer Service Satisfaction Department and Administrative Department. It has solved the way we know feedback from our customers in an easy way with just once click we send invite for reviews. We have more knowledge now of what is happening with our customers.
  • Fast Software
  • Best Customer Service Satisfaction Software
  • Easy to use
  • Best Statistical Software regarding Reviews and feedback
  • Easy to Manage Social Media Reviews
  • Excellent Customer Service
  • Manage all the Customer Service in a clean way
  • Pricing Field
  • Maybe a more variety of ways to leave review
I believe that for any company BirdEye will be of great use. It is easy to manage, easy to see statistics and easy to know feedback and how your customers feel all the time. It gives you great advance progress of how are you doing and how your company is doing regarding customers satisfaction.

BirdEye is being used throughout our entire office. It has increased our patient reviews exponentially.
  • They monitor whether or not our review links are going out. If there are problems they call us to resolve them. They have excellent customer service!
  • Every representative is very professional and knowledgeable and able to help me quickly.
  • I have no suggestions for improvement thus far. This has been the best money spent on assisting with patient reviews.
We have spent a lot of time and money on other options for increasing patient reviews and none have worked even remotely close to as well as BirdEye does.

We use Birdeye for our Reputation Management online. We have tried several other companies in the past and were never satisfied with the results and therefore canceled the service. Within one month of using Birdeye, we have the results we have been looking for! We have received more patient feedback in one month with BirdEye that we have in the past 10 years total. We are hooked!
  • Ease of use.
  • It runs seamlessly and effectively.
  • Not having to solicit (harassing) patients while in the office for their feedback online.
  • I have not found anything about Birdeye that is difficult or that we are unhappy about. We LOVE it!
If you are looking for a better online presence with positive customer reviews, this is your product! BirdEye makes it so easy and your customers can choose to leave feedback at their convenience with a gentle reminder a day or so later. No more asking people face to face to please take the time to give you a review. Your staff is happy and your customers are happier by not being put on the spot.
Every question was answered quickly

We survey every single customer through Birdeye, whether they make a big ticket purchase, replacement parts, apparel, or have their equipment serviced or repaired.
  • Multi-channel surveys
  • Automation
  • Review generation
  • No Messenger integration with popular SMS tools like Front
  • Cannot use your business phone numbers
  • Expensive
  • No integration with marketing stack to segment contacts based on promoter status
  • Inability to use NPS scale in disposition check
Great for brick and mortar or online-only businesses alike. Build your SEO by piling on the reviews from all your happy customers, and quickly address issues from unhappy customers. We have found that surveying customers through Birdeye has helped us to discover issues we needed to fix in our business processes, and also diffused unhappy customers before they flamed us online. That is GOLD.

If your business already has more than 1,000 online reviews, you might not need this tool.

We use BirdEye for our whole organization. Each time we sell a home, we send our clients a link to write a review about their experience. BirdEye gives prospective clients a window into the experiences of past clients. It gives me instant credibility as a salesperson, which has led to new business.
  • They make it easy to capture reviews.
  • They have great customer service if you have any questions or concerns.
  • Their site shows up high when clients Google my name.
  • I suppose it would be useful to be able to send multiple requests for reviews at the same time.
  • BirdEye could send reminders to clients if they haven't written a review (after a few days or so).
  • All in all, I am happy with their service.
It is suited in any sales business as clients are going more and more online to shop for services. They want social proof that you are treating your customers well and getting results. It would be less appropriate in a business that does not have a lot of online presence, but none come to mind.

We use BirdEye to manage all our client reviews. They generate a request for reviews and make sure they are organized properly.
  • We don't have to go to all of the social media sites to check on our reviews. We can just check with BirdEye.
  • They send us an email when a review is posted.
  • I have no complaints.
It is well suited for dental & medical offices so they can address any issues with their patients' review so that they can make changes to improve their patient care.

We are an HVAC company and here in Florida, there is a great deal of competition which means reviews are extremely important. Because it's difficult to get field service technicians to ask for reviews consistently, the Birdeye approach is very important. The busier these guys are, the less likely they are to remember to ask for a review, so having Birdeye handle it makes it much easier on the techs while getting us what we need. In addition, having to remember passwords and dealing with how many different websites equals difficulty monitoring reviews. If a review is less than 5 stars, I want to be able to address it right away. Birdeye brings all of it together in one convenient location and even alerts me to new reviews. We've only just recently signed up with Birdeye but we already see a difference.
  • Asking for reviews: It's done automatically each day and they will ask the customer twice more, waiting 2 days between requests. The repeat increases the likely-hood that the customer will do the review but they don't hound the customer.
  • Navigating the software: this software is really easy to learn and they've provided a knowledge base as well as customer contact if you need more help. It's clean, clear and easy to navigate. It brings all your reviews into one easy to locate.
  • Customization: Besides integrating with our field management software to request reviews, a link can be placed on the company website and can be completely customized with company colors so it fits the look of the website.
  • Being able to go to one website to see and answer all of our reviews really take the hassle out of handling reviews!
  • Perhaps because we are new with Birdeye, I don't have any issues with their software. Everything works as it should.
I don't know where they would be less appropriate; easy to use the software, one location for all of our reviews, including social media, and they ask for the reviews, what could be better!
