Overview

What it does.

Birdeye is a reputation management and customer experience platform for local businesses and multi-location brands. It collects reviews through text and email requests, monitors reviews across Google, Facebook, Yelp, and industry sites, drafts review replies with AI, manages business listings across directories, and adds webchat, SMS messaging, surveys, referrals, and social publishing. Its AI agents can answer inbound messages and summarise sentiment across locations. Dental practices, medical groups, home services, auto dealers, and retail chains use it, often through integrations with practice management and CRM systems. A single-location business can automate review requests after each job and reply to all reviews from one inbox. It integrates with Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp, Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Zapier, and many vertical systems. Pricing is quote-based, billed annually per location, with onboarding fees and add-ons, so it is a larger commitment than NiceJob or Podium.
