BuzzBoard Reviews

Lead generation and understanding your potential clients

None, this software does everything I want and keeps getting better

Buzzboard points out areas in a prospect's marketing that needs improvement. The opportunity to assess potential clients needs not helps to guide an initial discovery meeting but it also points out to the client that I have taken time to "do my homework" about their business.

I also like the Buzzboard extension on Google Chrome that allows an instant review of a website.

Prospecting for new leads takes some hands-on time to maneuver efficiently, but this may be a user issue.

So much in one login! The development of the software in recent times has been awesome.
I love the competitor reports. Thanks

The Menu still needs some refining as simple things like where you can type in the fields etc.
The alignment of the typical phone numbers to the Australian phone number listings would be great.
Also the need to be able to add more Australian directories would be great, thanks

The google Chrome extension and Detailed reports.

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

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

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.

The pros are the ease of use. The information I can use, and the format it is displayed on. I love that I can email the report to the prospect, I know if they read it, all around a great product.

I'm not sure what to do with the "consumers" portion of the software. It is the first thing that shows up and I'd like a way to take advantage of the information you provide. This is clearly a user error, but I'm left speechless when this portion of the report comes up.

Competitive information is very valuable when showing an clients how they rank among there competition.

I like chrome extension and the ability to go to a prospects site and with one click get them added to my buzzboard prospects. Prior to using this it was sometimes cumbersome to get a prospect added. This has streamlined the process.

Some of the features like "peak sales month for prospecting" produce poor results. I spent a fair amount of time trying to add prospects using this feature and got no results or innacurate results. I like the concept and if it delivered better results I would likely use it more.

I like the ability to prospect and get an inside look at a business' web presence. It helps me to position myself as an expert.

Many of the listings are old and the businesses closed. There is also a larger deviation than I'd like on what is actually being done on social media or SEM than I would like.

Quick and ease of use. Buzzboard takes some of the ease out of doing a needs assessment when you first meet with a client.

Although this is a very helpful tool sometimes there are errors. For instance the report may say a prospect doesn't have a facebook page when they actually do.

Easy to use, informative, easy to understand. Prospecting tool is great! The grading system makes it very easy to show to clients and explain like a "report card"

On ipad app, several clicks to get to certain screens. Other thing is that sometime not all information can be accurate (for example BB shows no Facebook or YouTube page, but client has one.... same thing happens with mobile optimization from time to time.)

It is an awesome prospecting tool, and I use it everyday, all day.

Unable to print of export saved search to bring with me in the field.

Buzzboard opened our eyes to MANY client opportunities that my team was unaware of, it also gives us a glimpse into businesses that are already working to market themselves and are, thereby, viable prospects, versus those who are asleep at the switch and will be unlikely to invest in marketing initiatives.

We found the UI to be complicated and non intuitive. The new platform is much easier, but takes getting used to.

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 initiative interface allows anyone to jump in and start designing like a pro without any prior graphic arts experience.

I would love more templates and flexabilty with them. For example, the ability to add or remove frames and change the animation.

The ability to view insights about the industry and HR information.

What really isn't speaking to each other is when the Buzzboard score is one and when you ad the same business as a competitor it changes that score.

The software works great for trying to determine holes in a website, and seeing where you can get immediate returns to your online presence.

It has trouble detecting landing pages, and alternate URLs. Also doesn't play nice (at least with ease) for places with multiple phone numbers (ie franchises) and locations.

Filtering results of businesses to target key areas and offer solutions and recommendations.

The ability to view a profile and return back to the search results

It provides useful information about the prospects website that can help open doors to a good conversation with the prospect. Also shows some profiles/prospects that I might not have uncovered on my own.

There doesn't seem to be a way of sorting through prospects or deleting prospects that are no longer viable. It would be nice if that feature was added.

Also the competition report seems random - wish it gave better and more accurate competitors near the prospect.

I would like to see a better SORTING function for prospects: by business type/category or by city/location - once the profile is added to my list.

I really like the proposal tool and the competitor analysis. Being able to search for websites based on locations, CMS and more is very useful

The layout can get complicated but a minor thing really! Overall it is pretty easy to use so this is a very small thing.

Everything. . It's awesome, amazing software !! I can also easily access from Salesforce and can create proposals when needed as an option.

Mobile app is complicated whereas deatop is much easier. I also had trouble being able to make copies from mobile phone on the mobile app particularly .

The speed with which you can determine the strengths and weaknesses of the prospect .

Some of the category assignments have either been missing or incorrect for the business.

I like the addition of the expanded account repository and the prospecting tool. All efficient and strategic additions are welcome.

Internal Limitations
examples:
not having proposal builder enabled
not being able to see an account or update an account that was put in by another user
PPC accuracy

Ease of using the software; I don't have to constantly read my notes on how to publish an advertisement. It's great!

Possibly not having an extra step to verify that I'm logged in, it seems a bit redundant other than that I haven't had many negative ideas about the software.
