### Most mentioned pros

- The fact that it integrates so easily with our website.

### Most mentioned cons

- Would not engage with this company based on my experience trying to find out more about their service and that their pricing is not straight forward, unless you are a business that needs reviews based on multiple physical store locations...

### Easier to generate 1st & 3rd party reviews

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: February 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

This platform allows for a high level of customization, which puts us in control of our asks, follow ups, and responses. We’re able to generate reviews more efficiently now, and we even have the opportunity to generate 1st party reviews while asking for 3rd party reviews.

#### Cons

The platform is a little difficult to navigate - with so many customizable features, it’s defiantly not a minimalistic design. That can make things feel a little cluttered, but once you get familiar with the platform it’s smooth sailing.

### Powerful and solid

Automating the review gathering process for our clients and optimizing the flow. Love the agency dashboard and the weekly e-mail summaries gives us a good pulse on our clients.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

We use it as an agency partner, and we love having our businesses in one place to monitor and manage. The way to automate the review gathering process is great, and it helps keep a steady flow of reviews coming in for our clients, which helps them build their business.

#### Cons

A few features and the UI are a bit clumsy and sometimes things are a bit hard to find. A few more ways to customize the look of request e-mails, a quick way to "mask" the review link to a custom one, and maybe a build-in editor for customizing the review widget embed code would be great.

#### Reasons for choosing GatherUp

We "inherited" this tool from another agency and decided to continue with it.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the review, David. We're glad you have stuck with us even though you inherited us from another agency. We appreciate your feedback on the UI and a few of the features you mentioned.

#### Pros

I love that I have a clean, automated system to prompt my clients for feedback on our services. This allows me to get ahead of any issues that they might be sitting on and has been great for client retention.

#### Cons

I wish there was a way to motivate clients to publish their reviews to 3rd parties or to make that the default and have them "opt-out" of publishing. Having it as an "opt-in" default seems to make the majority of feedback stay internal. I understand this may be a liability or legal thing, but still, one can hope.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for your review, Alex! We're so happy you enjoy the platform and are seeing improved client retention. We appreciate your feedback on the publishing of 3rd party reviews, but as you say, it's a legal thing. If that changes down the road we could consider it.

See Pros. GatherUp is the only RepManagement product we use and it is effortless to manage and deploy, easy to monitor, and, really, a delight for clients who were previously frustrated with figuring out how to solicit reviews. Best of all is the customer support. Thorough onboarding, responsive assistance when needed, and thorough FAQ references. Big fan here.

#### Ratings breakdown

It is very important for our small business to be able to track our NPS over time. By doing so, we also ask customers to write third-party reviews for us which help us get more business. We also use the software to track those third party reviews and thank customers for writing them. There are other helpful features like Tags so we can track NPS by the type of work we are doing or which of our teams is running their project.

#### Cons

Reporting features are a bit lacking. I would like to be able to run reports based on tags and send those reports on an interval.

#### Vendor response

Hi Lindsey, Thanks for the review. I'm glad you're able to use the product to its potential. Sorry you're not seeing the reporting features you'd like. I messaged you separately with some ideas on how to do what you're asking.

### The numbers don't lie

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

Our primary reason for using GatherUp was to try and increase NPS and Google review response rates. In our first year of using the platform, we more than doubled NPS submissions and Google reviews. We launched a new showroom earlier this year and GatherUp has contributed significantly to building social proof on Google for this new location as well as establishing a strong reputation online across all four of our locations.

#### Cons

It would be nice to save email templates to easily switch between testing email messaging.

#### Reasons for choosing GatherUp

GatherUp did exactly what we were looking for out of a review request platform and had plans that work extremely well for our business model. Many of the competitors were offering more features but they were things that we did not want to use but could not avoid paying for.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for the amazing review, Robert! We're so happy you've found success in your first year. The social proof of a good reputation is incredibly valuable. Great work utilizing the platform to its potential! We'll take your comment on saving email templates to the product team for possible future updates. Thanks for the suggestion!

It makes the pricing affordable.

#### Cons

The feedback request is pretty linear, but if you'd like to do anything outside of a single review request, they don't have the capability for this. I'd like to see the ability to setup different types of review requests for the same location as they could be used at different parts of the customer journey.

#### Vendor response

Thank you for the review, Nikki. We are glad you appreciate our ethical nature. We strive to be a helpful partner that guides you along a path of success. We understand your feedback on the linear nature of the feedback request. We are considering future changes to this flow and your feedback will be helpful.

I've enjoyed using the service. I like how quickly it can be used to help clients generate 3rd party reviews as a new business entity. However, I've been hesitant to sell the product to my clients, based on not having contractual agreements in place. The unexpected price increases in the past is a good example. Now I have to explain to my clients the reasoning for the increase or just except the loss of revenue on my end.Who know if the company will be sold again tomorrow and everything changes, it happens quite often in the digital industry.

### Functional & Affordable Review Gen/Management Tool for Local SEO Agencies

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used other for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: June 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

GatherUp is a really great review management tool that is especially useful for local SEO consultants just starting out. It's one of the most affordable tools out there and provides just as many features as the bigger, costlier brands. I'm very excited to see how GatherUp grows in the future.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

GatherUp (formerly GetFiveStars) is an uncomplicated and straightforward piece of review management software that simply gets the job done well. The team behind GatherUp are local SEO/marketers themselves, which adds a lot of value for me because I don't get the feeling they add features to inflate the perceived value of the tool. It truly feels like a tool built for marketers by marketers. GatherUp is very simple to use and set up. Although I have never needed any customer support, when I implemented the tool several months ago one of their sales reps was more than happy to walk me through the entire tool, which was a really big plus. They also provide regular updates and keep users in the loop on upcoming improvements they're making. All great things. Last, GatherUp just works. It's easy to onboard clients and get them up and running. GatherUp also makes sales a little easier. Clients get stars (no pun intended) in their eyes when they see all the capabilities I am able to provide them. Also, clients often think I have some huge competitive edge with this tool, almost as if I developed it myself or something. I don't have it whitelabled yet, but that's on my to-do list.

#### Cons

Customization is unfortunately limited with GatherUp, specifically with their outreach emails. Aside from changing the color schemes, changing email copy, uploading a logo, and making a few other small tweaks, it still didn't allow me to change the outreach emails in the way I needed to fit my company brand completely. For example, I had no choice but to center-justify the email copy, which seems strange to me. I also wanted the ability to make the emails appear like regular text emails (the way I always email clients), but with GatherUp you're forced to use the one generic template. It's not the worst thing, but I just needed a few more basic customization options to be 100% bought in to the GatherUp brand. Because they're competitively priced with other review generation/management SaaS companies, these little things can make ALL the difference.

#### Pros

I really like how the widget will pull all your reviews and place them on the website.

#### Cons

I'm still using qr codes on cards to solicit reviews . I wish GU integrated better with products like weave and maybe invoice systems and smile reminder platforms for dentists. I think the price is wat too high. I'm paying $32 for each client now.

#### Reasons for choosing GatherUp

Birdey was much cheaper but I had other clients already in GU so elected not to change

#### Vendor response

Thanks for your review and feedback, Ken. We're glad you like the widget. We're sorry you feel the price is too high. We try to bring a strong feature-to-cost ratio to our customers. If you have any further concerns or comments please reach out to our CS team.

#### Pros

We utilize the GatherUp platform to better track and monitor reviews as they come in versus manually checking each location. Doing so saves us time and helps us to react quickly to any negative feedback received. The weekly reports are also hugely beneficial for all our store managers to review how the week went overall.

#### Cons

The only issue we had was in regards to the initial contact. Customer Service can be a bit slow to respond at times.

#### Reasons for choosing GatherUp

It truly came down to pricing.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the review Shaundra! We're glad you're saving time tracking reviews and reacting quickly. Sorry the initial contact with CS was a little slow, but hopefully that's been resolved. If you need help with anything don't hesitate to reach out to our team.
