Differentiation

Existing solutions
Yelp (Ads/Premium)
Our angle
Current review management tools (like Podium or Birdeye) send generic review requests to all customers. There is no tool that intelligently routes review requests based on the customer's existing platform authority (e.g., sending only active Yelpers to Yelp, and everyone else to Google).
