Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We love how you described the shift from 'buzzword' to 'practical growth engine'—that’s exactly the mission behind our AI Workforce.

We believe a CRM shouldn't just store data; it should be an intelligent system that actually does the work. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that our AI agents are helping you and your clients scale impact and drive real outcomes without the added headcount.

We truly appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us to power your business and your clients' growth. We’re honoured to be the engine behind your success!

"Disappointing Setup and Unfulfilled Promises (see other reviews on Google and Trust Pilot *screenshots there)"

What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

The sales representatives and sales team are amazing. They're incredibly polished and do a really good job of describing what's possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

{"They didn't solve any problems for me.","The actual work product was completely substandard and unusable in every aspect.","I canceled their service due to lack of performance.","Much of the fulfillment appears to be performed by third-party providers, yet there does not seem to be a meaningful guarantee around quality, timelines, or vendor accountability.","When issues arose, responsibilities were attributed to vendor constraints rather than resolved directly while billing still continued.","The setup was troubling and problematic at best, with billing started immediately but significant delays before meaningful work began."} By their own admission, their senior account executive wrote in an email to me " You should never have experienced this disappointing communication and work from the fulfillment team" " The services delivered were not aligned with our standards" "Repetitive visuals and generic copy do not meet the level of quality we aim to deliver" An inappropriate public review response should never have put your brand at risk" Yet they still charged me over $3000.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Hi Shaun,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m genuinely sorry that your experience with Vendasta Services did not meet expectations.

What you described — delays during onboarding, substandard social content, misaligned review response workflows, and a lack of coordinated communication — is not the level of service we aim to deliver. In particular, the review response that was posted without your explicit approval is something we take very seriously. That should not have happened.

We’ve conducted an internal review of this account, including our onboarding process, content QA standards, approval workflows for review responses, and coordination with third-party fulfillment partners.

Based on this, we are strengthening:

Quality controls for social content before delivery

Explicit approval requirements for negative review responses

Clear communication ownership during onboarding

Better holiday/vendor coverage transparency

I also appreciate that you recognized the professionalism of certain members of our team. That means a lot, and it reinforces that when we align properly, we can deliver strong outcomes.

We understand that trust is earned through execution, and in this case we fell short. If you are open to it, I would welcome the opportunity to reconnect directly and ensure your concerns are fully addressed. Feel free to contact me at slohr@vendasta.com.

Thank you again for the candid feedback — it helps us improve.

5/5
What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

I like how easy it is to use the Vendasta AI Platform and how I can access it at any time of the day, which is great for me and my husband since we have a nine to five job. It's convenient to know that even if a question can't be answered immediately, it will reach the right person. It's definitely convenient for easy tasks, and it's comforting to know that we have up to twenty-four hours to get things done. I found the initial setup to be pretty easy and seamless.

"Transforms Engagement, Boosts Customer Conversions"

What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

I really like the Vendasta AI Platform. It's been great for converting more customers with its snapshot reports, which help us build solid proposals with the right pricing and products. The reporting system is helpful for showing customers their progress and tying it to business intelligence, like leads from Google and Facebook Ads. I also appreciate how it connects with various applications and integrates well with Google Analytics 4 for local SEO. The managed SEO products have been a game changer for us. Customers love getting their monthly executive report, seeing growth and keyword scaling, which is something we like the most. The automations are super handy, especially for email marketing campaigns and the AI receptionist, which efficiently connects clients with businesses and handles appointments. I find it awesome that customers can log in, create booking links, and manage their products, including social media and Google Ads. All these features make Vendasta AI Platform a really helpful tool and we highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

I think the reporting for ads could use a bit more depth, especially in terms of showing how phone calls reach customers and classifying leads between phone calls and form completions. It would also be nice to have more clarity on scheduling training sessions for automations and learning how to create them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Thank you for the detailed review, Socrate! We’re glad to hear Snapshot Reports are helping you build stronger proposals and that the AI Receptionist and managed SEO tools are delivering real value for your clients. We also appreciate your feedback on ad reporting, especially around phone call tracking. That insight helps us continue improving the areas that matter most. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for being a valued partner!

"Exceptional Support and Time-Saving Tools"

What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

I use the Vendasta AI Platform for SEO for my clients, and it helps me keep them organized with easy access to multiple tools, saving me time. The most important aspect is the support, especially Nate, who is awesome and feels like a partner for my business. He helps me navigate different tools and shows how they can be valuable for my clients. The setup is not bad since they have made changes to make it easier, and I appreciate that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

There are a few things but most of them are in the works - I would like to see a proposal tool. They used to have one that was good but they got rid of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Thanks Chas, we’re so glad to hear that Nate and our support team are helping you save time and scale. Regarding backlinks, we’re always working to erase complexity there. In the meantime, be sure to check out our SEO Network in the Marketplace for automated authority building. Thanks for being a Vendasta partner!

"Transforms Client Interactions with Seamless Customization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

What I love most about the Vendasta AI Platform is that I can set it up in minutes for clients. We can test out a chatbot on a live call with the client, and the client's leads, when connected, can come straight in from basically any other platform, whether it's a Facebook or Google campaign, or simply organic leads from their website. This is just scratching the surface. Then, you can take it to the next level by creating automations and workflows to follow-up with these leads. Having an AI chatbot customized and created from scratch is a little more difficult than having a platform like Vendasta, with Vendasta, it's super easy. Once the product is engaged, you can instantly start customizing based on the client's wants, needs, and goals, cutting down setup time by weeks. After the initial setup, clients can just go to their dashboard, and they get notifications when leads come in and automations are triggered. This setup process and the ability to show clients results from their investment stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

The biggest hiccup is the integrations with other platforms that I'm just not accustomed to. Even my programming team has gotten snagged along the way trying to spend some time with the Zapier connections. Maybe having some type of setup included that can predetermine what connections might be needed for clients that they don't know until they're already a month or two in. And that way, we can start to attack and approach those integrations and setups at the very beginning, with the team and maybe even some training for the partners and the partners' tech team that could be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Hi Adam, thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review. It’s great to hear how quickly you’re able to get clients live — especially being able to test a chatbot in real time and show leads flowing in from Facebook, Google, and websites right away. That immediate proof of value, combined with automation and follow-up workflows, is exactly what we aim to deliver.

We also appreciate your honest feedback about integrations and Zapier connections. Your suggestion around earlier guidance and training for partner tech teams is incredibly helpful, and we’re always working to make implementation smoother from the start. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for being a valued partner.

What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

I like the business app within Vendasta AI Platform because it gives me all the information I need to sell someone, including the ability to assess someone's social media presence. I also appreciate the wide range of AI services it offers, from search engine optimization to the AI receptionist and AIPR types, helping to get reviews for my business. Plus, the internal support has been a great help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

I think the onboarding system can be a little complex at the very beginning. There's a lot for people to handle and specific guidance like 'do this, do that' will be helpful. From a marketing standpoint, it's kinda confusing for marketing agencies as you're trying to figure out and find out where things are on two different platforms instead of one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Thank you for the feedback, Will! It’s awesome to hear that Vendasta is solving the 'AI-building' puzzle for you. You shouldn't have to be a developer to offer world-class tech, and we’re proud to provide the AI Employees (like our receptionist and SEO tools) that do the heavy lifting for you. We’re glad you’re finding the Business App's social insights useful for your pitches—keep crushing those sales!

I really find the Vendasta AI Platform to be intuitive and purpose-built. It strengthens our service delivery model, enhances our clients' digital marketing efforts, and shows measurable results, positively impacting client retention.

The platform helps solve challenges like efficiency, scalability, and consistency by eliminating bottlenecks and streamlining workflows, allowing us to focus more on strategy and client relationships. The combination of powerful technology and a highly supportive team is invaluable. The Vendasta team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success and our clients'. Plus, our clients love the tools and see the impact on their business. The initial setup was simple with some thought, keeping Vendasta as the core solution provider. I would highly recommend the Vendasta AI Platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

"User-Friendly Platform with Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

I love the Vendasta AI Platform for its ease of use and user-friendly design. The platform is incredibly straightforward and rich in detail, with easy help articles. What stands out the most for me is the outstanding customer support team, especially Haley Babich and Dwayne Larson, who quickly respond to my questions with detailed answers and a positive attitude. Their support makes me feel welcomed and validated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

It is frustrating that I can't upload a CSV of social media posts for an individual account on marketing, but I can for multi-location. It is also confusing whether I can add a discount to a customer for x number of months. I'd like it more if I could build a package that includes my services, and apply a discount on a customer basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Thanks for the feedback, Gabi! We’re thrilled to hear that you find the platform user-friendly and detailed, and that our help resources are supporting your experience. Even more, we’re proud to hear Haley and Dwayne have made such a positive impact — we’ll absolutely share your kind words with them. Creating a responsive and supportive experience is incredibly important to us.

We also appreciate your candid feedback around CSV uploads. We’re continuously working to enhance packaging and billing flexibility so partners can structure offers in a way that best supports their customers. Thanks for being a valued partner!

"Seamless Integration, Minor Customization Challenges"
5/5
What do you like best about Vendasta AI Platform?

I really appreciate how Vendasta AI Platform integrates various features like sales marketing, CRM, AI bots, the digital workforce, and automated receptionists all into one platform. It brings everything together, which is great for our back office, sales and marketing, CRM, and our AI receptionist and digital workforce. I also appreciate the detail it offers. Most everything works really well, and the tech support from Vendasta has been really great. Additionally, I like that it works with Zapier and integrates with Google Analytics and social media platforms' analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vendasta AI Platform?

When I go to customize the Vendasta AI Platform, it's a bit more difficult. We didn't get much help from the tech support from Vendasta. They have two different levels - a partner and an agency. Some things you can only do at the partner level, and some things you can only do at the agency or company level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Vendasta Marketing of Vendasta AI Platform

Thank you for the review, Hope! We’re so glad to hear that the Digital Workforce and AI Receptionists are helping streamline your back office and sales operations. Bringing everything together into one unified system is exactly what we’re aiming to deliver.

We also appreciate your feedback about customization and the differences between Partner and Agency levels. That insight is incredibly valuable as we continue improving the platform and overall experience. If you ever run into customization challenges again, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’d be happy to walk through it with you and make sure you’re getting the most out of it.
