Reputation, local SEO, review collection — the work that actually drives leads.
Free, and the most important listing you have
Free Google product. Your "Google Maps" listing. Reviews, photos, posts, Q&A, direct booking links.
Free, mandatory, and 90% of SMB owners under-utilize it. Get the listing verified, photos uploaded, and a review-ask cadence going. Most marketing money is wasted if this is half-baked.
Review collection + text-based customer comms
SMS-first platform. Send review requests, take payments, run promotions, message customers from one inbox.
Pricey but the SMS-based review flow genuinely 2-3x review counts. The webchat-to-text handoff is the killer feature.
Reviews + reputation + reporting at scale
Bigger-team alternative to Podium. Aggregates reviews across 200+ sites, dashboards for multi-location.
Use it once you have 2+ locations. Single-location operators get more juice from Podium.
