Comparing Review-Generation Software
It’s important to note there’s a major difference between a pure online review-generation software and a patient recall-and-reminder system that also sends review requests.
Pure online review-generation tools send review requests directly to Google, Facebook, or Yelp.
Patient recall-and-reminder systems use microsites to collect the reviews. Microsites allows practices to censor their reviews, and only receive reviews over 4 stars.
We’ve had the opportunity to test the systems, and there’s a clear winner. Pure online review generation tools are 100 times more effective. This is because Google prohibits censored reviews, and only gives ranking credit to uncensored reviews.
As a marketing agency, we see the most success with platforms like BirdEye, Swell, Podium, and Weave.
