BuzzBoard Reviews

Using BuzzBoard to analyze a prospective advertisers is "like shooting fish in a barrel!" When we can show an advertiser how they stack up against their competition in the digital world, it not only gives credibility but proves my value to them as a consultant ---and it makes getting the sale easier.

It's harder to find you existing prospects

Easy to use and helps generate good leads. Allows you to know what the business is doing, or trying to do before speaking with them. Helps give proper guidance in a challenging sales environment.

You need to use it and understand some of the built in limitations. It is not 100% accurate, but nothing is.

It's easy to use and gives me a good picture of a company's digital presence in their market. I like the information on Multiscreen- Local Business Presence, Advertisers, Keyword Analysis, Social Media Presence and Content Analysis.

The competitors feature is useless as the 20 mile radius to too far and gives me competitor companies outside the market of the company that I looked up. Also, there is a lot of information that is never used such as the SEO Analysis. Lastly, it takes too long for Bussboard to populate its home screen. One more thing, it should be easier to find my saved searches.

I like the graph that instantly shows the colors and scoring of each area that is graded with a 0-100 --it's a good snapshot.

Picking competitors seems to be harder than the older system.

Recommendations from Buzzboard are an excellent starting point for conversations with potential clients. You can do a quick deep dive into their digital marketing presence and uncover problem areas allowing you to recommend targeted solutions.

You do need to verify the accuracy of the platform because the information is not always 100% accurate.

Buzzboard is a great tool that you can leverage as a conversation starter in your prospecting. Prospects are always interested to learn about their online visibility and how it compares against their market competitors.

Default competitive filtering can sometimes show out of market competitors. However, this is easily remedied with manual deletion and/or addition of competitors.

The google Chrome extension and Detailed reports.

The inadiquicies when pulling the facebook data from clients. Many times it is inaccurate.

The ease of use and how it shows the client the details of their website grading. And what they can do to improve their overall grad of their website.

I have found that sometime the data isn't exactly correct. When I take a report to the client they will say that they do have a particular function that the report says they don't have.

I like the listing claiming and the addition of the Ads or Spyfu-like information. They helps me quickly understand if they are paying for other advertising

Sometimes I find that it runs slowly, although that may be a function of our computers. The customers tend to get a bit impatient when I am running a live demo so that can be a negative at times. Everything else is as expected

I love the data in this software! It is detailed and shows pain points where improvement is needed. It helps the client to see where solutions can be used.

Please bring back the ROI tool, it helped me close so many deals and helps the client to understand that digital advertising is an investment not an expense.

great info to use with current clients and finding new clients with competitors info. Easy to use and the improvements keep coming.

I have nothing negative to say about this software.

The flexibility. There is so much information, you have endless options on what to show customers in order to get the conversation started. The team we work with steps up to the plate every time we come up with a new request. Highly recommend this company and software.

There are times when the system glitches. It's not often, but has happened on occasion. Train your sales staff to be patient when this happens and you will be fine.

Gives you the Google score for the website and shows how they are listed in the top directories.

SEO portion is not always correct and I don't personally care for the layout of the report to present to clients.

I mostly utilize Buzzboard when researching prospects to see what types of online products they are using. I find the reports to be very helpful in analyzing a clients website, social, SEM, and SEO presence which can result in helping to gain trust of a client to help them realize what features online they may need to enhance.

have more competitor information directly from the reports and also access to more training

The software is very easy to use and the information is easy to understand.

How long it takes sometimes for a report to be pulled.

At a glance, it's easy to find out what is missing and where the gap is. Everyone I show their results to are really engaged with the overall details.

At the beginning, hard to figure out where to start to get what information. (Add Prospect) Also, when you print, it doesn't print all the information you need.

Very robust in terms of evaluating a client's online presence/health as well as the overall structure of the website in terms of enough content, properly tagged and findable online. I also love the competitor data and how you can compare multiple businesses to each other and illustrate to the business owner how important their online presence is and who in terms of competition is beating them.

I find that the SEM data is very inaccurate as well as the mobile or responsive design evaluation.

easy!! I can pull up and edit prospects pretty quickly. it makes my job easier than having to use a powerpoint.

errors, or problems loading. At times i have to start all over after i have built an entire presentation because the information is not loading.

easy to use, detailed, like the fact it shows google adwords and the number of google page listings

sometimes a bit slow to load, can occasionally give conflicting info, i.e. website responsiveness and mobile compatability

Interface is clean and easy to use. I particularly like that it helps me show people their presence on directories (NAP percentage).

Data is not always as accurate as I would like. I wish the platform had a few more tools. I really only use it for one thing.

Google and Facebook ads analysis and quick SEO snapshots, competition analytics.

UI could be a bit cleaner on the user end. White label feature is in a more expensive tier

The software provides reporting in less than 1 minute in most cases. It also allows you to add competitors very easily.

Sometimes the competitors that it pulls up are duplicates and they will be the same business but have a different score.

It provides a "big picture" view of websites

1. can't get data for individual locations of multi-location companies 2. by default, Buzzboard is generating new leads for companies I analyze.

The information provided is great. It is great to see the digital presence of each customer and compare them to the competition.

It isn't easy to figure out the program without help. Through trial and error I figured out what I needed to do. There is so much more information available, but I don't know how to access it. Also, the categories for the companies isn't consistent. You can have "dentist" and also "dentists".

Overall display of data is user friendly for even the most unsophisticated user. Also enjoy the pre-load intro letters that a client can receive, again to get the conversation started.

competitive mix is not "industry" specific so needs to be revised frequently. Also does not seem to pull paid search data if the program is run by a 3rd party. Secondly, still the program struggles at times to actually find a clients website data or business so forces "manual" loading of all information.
