Being able to manage Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, and a whole host of other online review and search sites from one dashboard. The text review generation has improved our customer feedback loop internally and boosted our online ratings leading to more calls and website visits across our locations. Replying to reviews is also simple to do across Google, Facebook, & Yelp. Text to chat has increased our website conversion 3x and allows our sales reps to follow up via text and convert quicker even if we receive messages after hours. Being able to post photos of jobs from a location level has also been a value add. The support team and my account manager has also been a valuable resource sharing what has worked best for other clients.
I wish we could do auto-reminders for people who didn't leave a review the first time.
Building new listings and ensuring accurate branding and optimization for all our services across all consumer search sites. We bought because we really needed to boost our online reviews and now we have over 200% more reviews and are getting real time customer feedback on what is and isn't working across our locations. Overall business needs are growing market share, streamlining internal operations, and improving customer experience.
There sales techniques are much different then most company's. They are very respectful of your time and do not blow your phone up! Mitch was very helpful and worked around my schedule!
If I had to say I disliked something it would definitely be that the price was a little high. But Mitch worked with me and I feel i got a very fair price for the package I choose.
The main problem I'm solving is have to use 4 different apps for my business. This website uses tools for me to not have to use These apps! In the end if you do the math I save money! While having a impressive website!
GoSite forces the user to use their preferred gateway. I was informed of this after my down payment. After informing GoSite support that I did not have 3 months of business checking because this was a new venture, I was told they could not do anything about it, and I would not be getting a refund. I asked to speak to someone who could make that request happen and was told that they would bounce it off management. Again, a hard no.
They force you to use their preferred (Getting a kickback from, I am sure.) gateway that requires 3 months of business checking records to get approved. I was informed of this fact after I gave them the down payment for my site after informing GoSite support that I did not have three months of business checking because this was a new venture. I was told they could not do anything about it, and I would not be getting a refund. Since I felt like this was a case of them not being able to complete the service I requested, I asked to speak to someone who could make that request happen. I was told that they would bounce it off upper management. After three days, I was told this was a hard no. I am very disappointed and feel like they stole my money since I was given nothing in return. Although the more I think about it, I feel like I slipped out of a bad situation. Then, add unethical upper management with spines like a wet noodle, who will not speak to their customers directly, but hide behind the service techs, as being a pretty cheap lesson to learn. Furthermore, this entire time, I was never contacted by a developer, nor was my site changed in any way.
I was trying to solve reputation protection. Although, if you search, you'll quickly realize that GoSite.com cannot even protect their own reputation. :)
I liked not receiving a call from them every day. But it wasn't worth it.
After asking to be taken off the calling list dozens of times, Arleigh broke me down and got me to purchase services. I just needed a couple of days in a row that I didn't get a call from gosite so that I could manage my business. BIG MISTAKE! They offer nothing more than Godaddy.com but charge four times as much! It has been a NIGHTMARE from the beginning. I purchased my Domain from google domains, and somehow, they have gained admin control and have suspended MY domain. HOW? I don't know, but it was never theirs. They have made NO PAYMENTS to have that domain. ZERO STARS TO ARLEIGH ZERO STARS TO GOSITE
Well, I used to have an abundance of money to help grow/scale my company, and it was a pain to manage all of that. After using GoSite I had less money to manage and more time to contemplate hanging myself from the ceiling. GOSITE SUCKS!
Their solution saved our team countless hours every month and had a noticeable impact on our online traffic as well as customer experience feedback loops. The solution is truly backed up by heroic customer support as well. I recommend them as a great partner for anyone looking to optimize their multi-location brand online.
One minor hiccup during implementation, but my account manager jumped in and resolved the issue in under a week. Turned my negative into a positive.
GoSite saved my team manual work hours, improved customer experience, and boosted local Google visibility for some of our lesser-known products.
Not available at this time. Not happy with our service.
No follow up. No response to questions. Not feeling like we are taken care of any longer.
Not solving any problems right now.
Great feature set for the cost. Company seems to be constantly adding to their suite.
Absolutely everything else. To start, don't trust sales. They told me I could split the initial payment in two and rates would be locked in. Neither of these things were true. They told me that user permissions were different than they actually were (I didn't want employees being able to manage reviews, just send out text/email messages requesting them. This was unable to happen). Within a month of having the software, I had a list of issues that I sent to support (the order of review sites was never correct, it autocorrected spellings on things that were already correct into incorrect grammar without being able to revise, etc). Support was wildly unresponsive. I submitted multiple tickets (for these same problems) and only got resolutions 3 months AFTER my year-long subscription expired. I wasted a whole bunch of money on software that never worked. And then they sent harassing emails saying I owed them money. Absolutely ridiculous. Please note, when I was able to actually speak to someone they were very nice. I just think the company has expanded too quickly into too many features without first working out the bugs on what they already have. Their staff is likely just overwhelmed and overworked to the point where nobody is really sure what is going on. That is my best guess as to the causes of the above.
A single portal to help improve the online reputation (reviews, directory listings) of a major client.
The reviews tool has made such a huge difference for us! We're getting more feedback very week and managing our reviews in one spot has saved us so much time. The team has also been a huge help. Our account manager has been great too!
It was a lot to take in at first and there's some features we'd like to see be added, but I think they're working on a number of them.
We struggled with responding to all of our reviews mostly because it just took so long to find all of them to reply to. GoSite has solved this problem for us in less than a month. We've also been able to make sure our business hours are correct everywhere in one hub instead of having to track down all of our stores sites.
