Birdeye has helped our company grow customer reviews substantially, integration with our management software has aided in making sure no one is missed. Their listings management and Ai search management tools are industry best and provide valauable insight along with action items to improve.

Birdeye has a robust platform covering everything from customer sentiment to managing Ai search results. They have continued to grow and improve the platform with new innovative tools

Cons

I have no complaints about the service, it has been easy to set up and manage, providing excellent ROI

### "Boost Reviews & Communication with Birdeye"

September 1, 2025

5.0

Many of my clients have been using Birdeye for several years and have grown to love the easy communication with customers via the platform. We appreciate the auto-review request setup which allows us to resolve potential issues when customers have complaints offline. We have received excellent support from our Customer Success Managers and appreciate the transparent reporting. Overall, we have seen our reviews skyrocket and rating improve. Much credit goes to correcting problems before they turn into one star reviews.

Pros

The pros of using Birdeye include automated review and survey requests. We appreciate the way the request is formatted with "Green" for a review for positive experiences sent to Google or Facebook and the "Red" for less than satisfied customers that comes in as direct feedback. I also appreciate the auto-responses to reviews. A the store level, the sales team appreciate being able to text and send quotes via the platform. We also love that all messages, emails, webchats, etc. come into one inbox.

Cons

Integration issues with our CRM has been an on-going trial, but the blame falls on our CRM rather than Birdeye. Mass texting campaigns are a separate cost and are kind of expensive.

### "Not what it seems "

June 11, 2025

1.0

In my opinion, there's several other services out there far more beneficial the experience I had it was very overpriced for what I was paying for. I'm sure it'll do somebody some good but my experience as a small business. No, I would not do it again and I would not recommend it to a friend or colleage.

Pros

The social media platforms, I really wanted this to work out. I gave it a shot. I gave them more than a year just not working out. I'm not satisfied at all.

Cons

The lack of customer service it seemed like you couldn't get a word and all they did was talk never really nothing listen I had several conversations about changing some plans. It seems like they were so money driven and impossible to cancel.

### "Good for managing online reputation"

April 11, 2026

5.0

Pros

The integrated review management and social media posting is pretty solid. We've seen a noticeable uptick in engagement since we started using it consistently for responding to customers and sharing updates.

Cons

Honestly, the mobile app could be a bit more intuitive. Sometimes navigating between different sections feels a bit clunky, and I find myself wishing it was faster to access certain features when I'm out of the office.

Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.

### "Long Term Customer + Fan!"

August 29, 2025

5.0

We moved to Birdeye from a similar platform. They were able to import all information from our prior platform to theirs, which was a huge plus. Onboarding team was on top of things. Our account rep has always been friendly, helpful and available. We have dug deeper into the features over time, as there are many and that can be overwhelming when tackling them all at once. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.

Pros

I like the fact that they are continually trying to innovate. The core product does exactly what we need to help us capture more online reviews, communicate virtual and capture actionable insights. As we've been a customer longer, we see them leaning deeper into AI components that can produce more robust data and insights. The rep that handles our account is also very responsive and helpful when we do have issues. We can track how many leads go from Birdeye to converted sales and it shows the true value for the money we get with our investment every monthly.

Cons

When signing on with Birdeye, setup was well handled. However, we tried to work on some custom features that took much longer than expected. It did eventually come to fruition but much later than anticipated. Rely on the core product as your gage for your decision and you will save some of the hassle we experienced.

We had run into some performance issues that we did not feel were addressed in a timely manner. Our initial account rep was great, but all the others we were passed around by afterwards did not match up to our initial experience.

### "Great service for getting quality reviews!"

May 20, 2025

5.0

Overall I have had a great experience with Birdeye. My clients find a ton of success from integration and bulk importing client lists. We have been able to obtain quality reviews at a much higher rate than before. It's also nice to be able to handle everything in one place including making qr codes, responding to reviews, track reviews, etc.

Pros

The ease of asking for reviews for my clients, the AI feature for responding to reviews, the QR code generator for printing and using physical copies for my clients

Cons

Occasionally can't integrate for some clients, but this doesn't happen very often. Other than that I don't have any complaints. Support is very helpful if any issues arise.

### "Strong Partner Opportunity with Birdeye for Agencies"

May 21, 2025

5.0

Overall, our agency is pleased and we have increased sales and interest in our offering because of their product. We had a much simpler software before and now we have new features like listings, insights, more AI features, referrals, Webchat etc

Pros

The breadth of features and are account management and personal care as a business partner would be the top two features. We finally have a world class product that is easier to sell and compete with other software providers.

Cons

They have a huge sales team so we often have to compete with them head to head for the biggest and best leads. This competition during our partnership has been a point of contention and it makes things awkward and confusing.

Alternatives considered

### "Agency growth with Birdeye"

May 27, 2025

5.0

My experience with Birdeye has been great over the years and I have grown my business significantly because of the partnership with Birdeye that I have had.

Pros

I have always liked the Integrations, and ease of use of the platform. My clients all have different EMR's and the Birdeye team has always gone out of their way to make sure that the integrations and automations were running smoothly.

Cons

Support can be clunky or move slowly sometimes. I know it can be very complicated with a lot of tickets coming in but the communication and time to correct issues is a little tough sometimes.

Birdeye is filled with features that are beneficial for any business and essential for ours! We get all of our website and social communications in one inbox!

Pros

Ease of use! This product makes consolidating your communication a breeze. It takes all of your inner office communications to the next level as well!

Cons

The mass texting feature and surveys. They are clunky and a bit difficult to navigate, but Birdeye’s willingness to adapt makes this a small problem.

April 1, 2026

5.0

Pros

It’s honestly super to the point and easy to use! We stopped using BirdEye for a second and went back within months. We truly could see the difference without the platform.

Cons

It’s hard to say. The reason we left was because of the price and a new marketing company we switched to. But it wasn’t worth leaving BirdEye.

### "10 years and counting"

May 21, 2025

5.0

We have been with them going on 10 years. That it self should give you reason to consider. They are a leader in the field of what they offer.

Pros

Inbox---this feature is the hub of the platform. They have grown from a review platform to a hub that offers many other ways to serve a customer.

Cons

Email needs attention-"from" address looks spammy. We are working with them for a solution, so hopefully it will no longer be our least favorite.

May 21, 2025

5.0

Overall, I have been exceedingly happy with this service. I've watched Birdeye grow over the years and I'm confident they will continue to grow and use AI tools to their advantage

Pros

I really like the attention to detail and the strong customer service. All requests are handled within 24 hours. I have several clients using Birdeye and they have been for many years now. It's really the best review management software out there.

Cons

I would love to be able to have my clients who have multiple locations be able to manage all of their Google Maps business locations within one Birdeye account rather than having to switch the Google Business accounts every few months to a different location.

Pros

Review requests are my favorite thing about Birdeye. Also being able to track the contact journey is always helpful for clients.

Sometimes the auto responses do not fire to all reviews that I have auto responses set up for. I wish it was always consist ant.

It has helped us keep our marketing and brand management top of mind. Their customer support is top notch.

Pros

Cons

I don't have any issues with Birdeye. Like any new software there is a small learning curve when implementing but the value you receive to help with email communication and the security Birdeye offers is well worth it.

July 26, 2024

Birdeye has greatly supported our efforts and enabled us to improve our social media presence. It is great that it removed inappropriate comments immediately and also helped those interested get a direct answer to their inquiries and directed them in the right way to get more information.

Pros

Birdeye brings all the capabilities together in one place. I loved its ability to ensure the quality of our posts and enable us to quickly sort out the rationales and get rid of any unwanted comments. It is great that Birdeye enhances our continuous monitoring and control over all our accounts. I love the ease of formulating multiple types of responses to suit all the expected comments. The reports are very useful and cover a lot of details efficiently.

Cons

Everything is easy with Birdeye after successfully integrating with all the social media platforms we use.

June 10, 2024

1.0

Pros

Local listing management worked OK, but this is an extremely basic service that we could have gotten 100's of places.

Cons

Clients could not use the system due to constant bugs, outages and downtime, along with confusion about how to access services within the system in spite of training we had to perform ourselves because BirdEye offered no support. They wanted us to work with their overseas teams to diagnose and fix bugs in their own product. Rude and combative customer support for the past 6+ months. Without a doubt the worst vendor we've worked with in our 12+ years in business.

### "Reviews=Revenue w/BirdEye as Your Guide"

January 30, 2020

5.0

Prior to using BirdEye, I had the vaguest notion of what entailed the process of online reviewing, HOW people and companies and businesses were actually able to procure such a steady stream of tremendous numbers of reviews and so quickly, in terms of date of service. It was bananas to me! Then, I had the pleasure of having the job of "sending a bird eye" to every one of our customers, right after I was hired, to be Dispatcher at a HVAC company, with absolutely no idea how a bird eye had anything to do with our business. I figured I just was not in on an inside joke and would have to learn that of course. I was given zero instruction other than the aforementioned line, we're talking I had NO IDEA what this was, what I was doing, or how I was going to do what I was supposed to be doing. Well, praise the high heavens and all the birds eyes in the sky that Bird Eye is what it is as I was able to learn EXACTLY what this system was, the importance of timely reviews, and exactly how to do the entire system simply by visiting the BirdEye website that first time. It is THAT intuitive and user-friendly, honestly, it's even FUN.

Pros

Absolutely EVERYTHING. For anyone who is tasked with being responsible for learning, implementing, and maintaining rigorous company reviews, quickly and with little to no instruction, the very reviews that Google proffer up upon searching either the respective company or simply the general industry, the reviews that are responsible for having an enormous impact on our first impression of a company and that are shown to the entire internet, those reviews, THIS exact software, this exact company BirdEye, IS what and all you need. Pinky swear. They have seriously taken this tremendous and immensely important component to a business' success and neatly packaged it into a one-size fits all, super intuitive, beyond simple to use and master and even FUN package. You WILL beast/slay the ever-present review dragon, you WILL please your boss and coworkers, as the reviews, rendered timely, efficient, and simple, keep gushing in. No matter the company's industry or scope of business, BirdEye IS THE eye in the revered review sky. Fly little review master, FLY!

Cons

Honestly, I found using BirdEye to be so fun, I realize I may be quite the outlier there, but as this is such a streamlined and easy set of steps, the same taken for each you send, doing the day's reviews is an almost therapeutic endeavor. I kid not. And I was so so grateful for how quickly I was able to understand and implement the process, having never been inconvenienced or plagued with ANY issues or problems or hiccups, I'd be remiss if I didn't say that may be there should be an appreciation show dedicated that we can call "BirdEye for the Queer AND Straight Guys." No cons.

### "Birdeye takes the work out of asking for reviews"

September 29, 2022

5.0

Birdeye has a strong customer relations team. They genuinely seek to provide optimal service. They are caring and will resolve any concerns.

Pros

We use Birdeye for a multi-doctor practice. The reviews are sent to our patients after they leave our office. I check the dashboard regularly and respond to received reviews. The dashboard is easy to use. One feature that I appreciate is that each review states which location the patient was seen at and which doctor saw the patient. I can also "add a tag" with the name of the doctor that referred our patient to our practice. If I am looking for a review to use for a radio ad or in a marketing piece, I can search the reviews by doctor, location, procedure done, or key words. On a side note, we have a contest each month in our office of which doctor and team received the most reviews for the month! This encourages our team members to provide the highest quality of service to our patients and they also remind the patient that they are getting a review request and to please fill it out.

Cons

Years ago, when we first joined there were glitches in the software and the review requests would not send out. I could always tell because I would stop receiving reviews.

Amazing success story, Kim! We love hearing how Birdeye has helped your practice. The monthly contest sounds so fun! What a great way to keep your team engaged and on top of things! Thanks for sharing. :)
