We utilize many of Birdeye's features. The most useful is being able to manage multiple platforms in one location. Within those platforms we are able to track progress and respond to reviews and surveys.

Pros

  • AI integration
  • product feature education
  • reliable tracking and monitoring of progress

Cons

  • email notifications are only sent out once a day
  • previews of auto send items are difficult to find

Likelihood to Recommend

I have yet to come across another platform that is as easy to use and offers as many features as Birdeye.

Birdeye Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using it to manage our reputation and online presence by being able to solicit clients for reviews as well as monitor the reviews that we are receiving across our various location and brands. Birdeye makes it easy to work from one centralized spot and allows us to view, respond and dispute any negative reviews we may receive.

Pros

  • Reputation Management
  • Review Solicitation
  • Reporting
  • Client Communication

Cons

  • SMS deliverability

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very well suited for a company that has a lot of locations and brands. This is because it helps centralize all of the various review sites out there and all of the brands that you have. This makes it very easy to manage your online presence. For companies that do not have many locations, Birdeye might not be the best fit.

  • texting
  • emails

We use Birdeye very specifically for our Google reviews and are very happy!

An Excellent Resource for Review Response

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Birdeye makes addressing all reviews very convenient. It's all in one place, there's canned replies that can be chosen and edited as needed, and it can all be done very quickly. It's saved me a lot of time from the olden days of having to navigate to each review site's back end to reply to reviews!

Pros

  • Convenience: Birdeye funnels all your review sites into one spot
  • Simplicity: Canned and editable responses make answering reviews very quick and efficient
  • Efficiency: Being able to respond to multiple platforms in one spot, submit concerns or flagged reviews for review, and being able to reach any of your platform contacts through one portal saves tons of time.

Cons

  • I don't care for the AI responses, as I feel editing the canned responses to be much more personal. The AI responses all end up saying basically the same things anyway
  • I'd like for the notice emails (when you get a new review) to have links directly to the new review received. Currently you have to navigate to the page on your own. Not a huge deal, but it would be that much more convenient.

Likelihood to Recommend

I know Birdeye has an entire suite of services it offers, but I only use it for answering reviews. To that end, it does its job beautifully. I would recommend it for anyone who frequently is answering reviews for their business. Beyond that function, I honestly don't have much experience.
