Birdeye Introduces Social Media Software for Local Businesses and Brands

On January 30, 2023, Birdeye, a leading all-in-one reputation and digital customer experience platform, announced the release of Birdeye Social, a social media software platform designed to revolutionize social media management for local businesses with multiple social media accounts.

Birdeye Social streamlines social publication and reputation monitoring for companies with multiple locations. As a result, businesses can produce and publish customized content with individual local information in one step, rather than manually creating separate posts for each location and localizing posts across dozens of sites. As the need for social communication and consumer convenience grows, it has become vital for local brands and enterprises to leverage technology to engage with their customers digitally at scale.

By combining Social with Birdeye's digital customer experience platform, local brands and businesses gain access to a comprehensive growth platform. It includes solutions for managing reputation, getting found online, enhancing customer satisfaction, and engaging with consumers via text, web chat, and now social media.

Birdeye's President, and Chief Operating Officer, Dave Lehman, commented, "Unfortunately, most social media tools were not designed for multi-location businesses, making it tedious to monitor social reputation and post across multiple accounts and locations."
