What do you dislike about Birdeye?
We most actively use Birdeye for social management but we also use it for listings and reviews. While they are experts at multi-location, it is evident that social is a newer portion of the platform. Some of the functionality seems built to prioritize listing/review actions, and we've had to walk them through how we need things changed to suit users who are not digital marketers in easily using the platform for social. It makes me wonder if our use case is rare - a multi-location company that prioritizes organic location-based posting, not pushing ads from the "headquarters." We do not use many of the AI integrations. Our brand/product is all about a real experience so AI-generated content is not relevant. The load time can be a bit slow and we've heard from users that the app freezes and posts fail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Recommendations to others considering Birdeye:
There are not many products offering multi-location management that worked for us. Our previous product was really buggy on the back end and we were spending hours a week hunting down problems with limited support from the company. Birdeye is more consistent and has been very responsive and quick to act on any issues we face. Our previous product was basically built for us but the company seemed to lose interest in supporting our build-out after the first 16 months. Birdeye came already equipped with many of these multi-location management tools and capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
