About GatherUp
GatherUp uses AI-powered reputation management efforts to manage customer feedback and online reviews all in one place.
We like the interface and being able to receive notifications not only from GatherUp reviews but also when someone writes a review elsewhere on the internet.
A few features and the UI are a bit clumsy and sometimes things are a bit hard to find.

Makes Requestion Customer Feedback Seamless
Comments: Overall I've been very pleased with GatherUp and appreciate how they continue adding product features. I also appreciate their ethics as they help you abide by review platform rules. (for example, Yelp does not allow direct review requests, so GatherUp does not allow it either)
Pros:
I manage Gatherup for clients, and it has made requesting customer feedback pretty seamless. It integrates with Zapier, so I've been able to set up automation for them that makes the process easy.Also, the ability to reply to feedback, both privately and publicly, within the GatherUp platform is useful.I haven't used it much, but the feature to create graphics to share on social platforms is handy also.I also appreciate that they allow purchasing for a small number of clients. 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.

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.
Alternatives Considered:
The numbers don't lie
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.

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!
Gather Up Around GatherUp: This Thing Rules
Comments: 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.
Pros:
Everything. I love GatherUp. It is a dream come true on both the client side and the admin side. Every client we've used GatherUp with has had wildly positive results.
Cons:
The upload process is a little specific. Formatting is a bit unforgiving, but it's VERY good at catching errors and duplicates.
Price has gone up; customer support quality has gone down
Pros:
Ease of use; negative review management; automation
Cons:
Customer support quality has decreased, and the price has gone up steadily, so I no longer feel I am receiving good value for money.

Gatherup Review
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.

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.
Excellent software and a great value
Comments: We have a better pulse on our customer satisfaction and have increased our online reviews.
Pros:
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.

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.
Alternatives Considered:
Easy and Intuitive
Comments: The implementation and pricing, as well as the abundance of features, made the choice to switch to GatherUp a no-brainer for our team. We have had excellent experiences with the customer service team, though the program is so intuitive that we've only needed their help once in nearly two years.
Pros:
I am impressed by the AI-generated responses. It makes it easier to reply to our guests, as we receive a large number of reviews for our restaurants weekly.
Cons:
I wish the success report was able to generate numbers with two decimals, so we can get an even more granular grasp on our changes from month to month. (EX: 4.28 vs 4.2). I also wish there was an option for a larger amount of stored responses.

Thanks for the review, Cameron! We're so happy you enjoy the new AI-generated responses. And our CS team is great, but so is our product team, making an intuitive product! I understand your interest in more granular reporting metrics. We'll take that feedback and consider it for future improvements.
Traject Review of GatherUp
Comments: 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.
Pros:
The data business owners are able to obtain on their performance as a business.
Cons:
No contractual agreement for white label partnerships

Thanks for the review, Brian. We're glad you are seeing it generate those reviews for your clients.
Powerful and solid
Comments: 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.
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.

GatherUp Review
Pros:
I enjoy the smart reply function and the ability to see an overview of all of the reviews across multiple platforms.
Cons:
I feel that you should have more than 300 SMS credits per month, as that seems low for the monthly cost of the platform.

Thanks for the review, Louisa! We're glad you like the Smart Reply feature. I understand your need for more SMS credits. You are able to add more SMS credits if you want by going to the main account settings (under your name in the upper right corner).

Thanks for the review Kenneth! We're glad you enjoy our dashboard and email notifications. I understand the request regarding Yelp. Unfortunately due to Yelp's TOS there are limitations to what we can do with Yelp reviews.
Great program!
Comments: We've used GatherUp for nearly 4 years and have seen our review grow substantially!
Pros:
It's so easy to invite clients to submit reviews but catches when they're unhappy and keeps the review from hitting sites.

Nothing, great service, love using it!

Thanks for the review, Jessica! We're glad you're seeing growth in your online reviews.
The right software at the right price for implementing NPS program!
Comments: Very good, very simple to set up and the few times I needed customer service it was provided quickly and fully answered all questions.
Pros:
Easy to import customers automatically from our CRM, immediately after their interaction. This creates a much higher probability of receiving reviews! And the reports are comprehensive and very easy to share results with upper management.
Cons:
My only request would have been the ability to combine both of our separate business units into one whole company overview for reporting purposes.

Hi Christina. Thanks for taking time to leave us this detailed review! We're glad you are using an integration to automate some of the process. That's great to hear about your reporting and sharing those results. We pride ourselves on the CS support so we're happy to hear you're getting what you need. Thanks again!
Exceptional
Pros:
GatherUp is so simple to use, and monitor reviews and customer feedback. If allows the customer to directly contact us if they have any frustrations rather than just go straight into leaving a review.
Cons:
Honestly, there was not anything that I feel we as a company did not like.

Hi Katie, Thanks for the wonderful review! We're glad you find it simple to use.
A great way to manage customer feedback.
Comments: The biggest thing is that it has consolidated reviews and feedback from numerous platforms, meaning that visitors to our website can see all reviews in one place.
Pros:
GatherUp allows us to easily manage our customer reviews, and it's also simple for our customers to use. It makes integrating reviews from different platforms into our website a seamless process. That helps get the information in front of our prospects.
Cons:
The one question we have that we haven't dug into is how Google indexs GatherUp on our site.

Thanks for the review and feedback, Lauren. We're happy you like the ease and functionality of reviews and responses. However, it's too bad you haven't felt the support met your expectations. Feel free to reach out if you have more concerns. We typically see great responses related to our CS team.
Alternatives Considered:
Works like a charm!
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.

Best Bang for Your Buck
Comments: Great for gathering customer experience and satisfaction - we use this primarily for NPS score and third party reviews. We also use this to get feedback on any order issues, which then get sent to our customer service rep, who can deal with them directly.
Pros:
Very easy to use and implement, almost no downtime to get the program going. Makes getting Google Reviews and third party reviews much easier as well.
Cons:
Not completely customizable like some other review software, but for the price, you get a lot of features overall.

Thanks for the review, Kylee! We're happy to hear you enjoy the interface and notifications. I'm not sure what changed on your Google reviews. Our software doesn't get you the stars on Google, your customers do by clicking to Google and leaving a review there. If you have further questions or concerns reach out to your CS rep and we'll look into it.
