Generally ok
Pros
Navigate through system easily. Can see past notes and can edit customer information should it be incorrect
Cons
Freezes. Sometimes for hours. When it comes to making customer service aware there is always no work around which can be frustrating
Software is easy to learn, full of data to share with client and where holes may be, icebreaker
prospects lists, verticals to go after, scoring system to help identify the lower hanging fruit
Pros
Gives a good starting piece to make an appointment and share with client some holes they have. If they have these holes what others do you have as well and this is a great opening to do a Q&A and uncover more needs.
Cons
Sometimes the data is not always accurate. Sometimes I have had people say they have mobile and the report says they don't. It shows they don't have PPC/Adwords but they do.
Awesome for prospecting
Buzzboard has become an essential part of our prospecting. We use it as a one stop shop for auditing that allows us to take a deeper dive into our potential clients and size them up to their competitors. My favorite if not the best feature is the fact that you can see competitor ads right from within the platform. It's a really wonderful tool that is fairly priced for agencies and I recommend it to any growing digital marketing!
Pros
Google and Facebook ads analysis and quick SEO snapshots, competition analytics.
Cons
UI could be a bit cleaner on the user end.
White label feature is in a more expensive tier
BuzzBoard - an no-brainer must have
BuzzBoard showcases the what the client is doing right and what they are doing wrong, making it easy to offer our services to improve their digital presence.
Pros
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.
Cons
It's harder to find you existing prospects
Personal Evaluation of Buzzboard
It is helpful, but not as efficient as I would like in turning the time I am required to spend entering new prospects into the system into actual strong qualified potential clients.
Pros
It is a good prospect researching tool that give insight into how active prospect is in general as well as digital advertising.
Cons
It raises some issues in the report that we cannot actively help they correct and in some cases delays the sale of the products we do offer. Too often the prospect's competitors report are not accurate or related to the prospects business forcing more work in re-entering valid competitors.
Buzzboard Review
Pros
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.
Cons
Picking competitors seems to be harder than the older system.
Everything you need in one place
I have used BuzzBoard for years to assist my clients. I use it as a tool to present to new potential clients to prove a "need" for our services. I also use it with current clients to establish improvement and growth to their online presence.
Pros
The software is very easy to use and the information is easy to understand.
Cons
How long it takes sometimes for a report to be pulled.
Great value add as a prospecting tool. Thank Buzzboard!
Tremendous helpful tool for prospecting
Pros
Love the digital audits as it opens many doors into new prospects. Plus, I like the objectivity of the analytics that prove how well or poorly a businesses online health may be.
Cons
It's a bit clunky to find existing profiles if you want to update. I also would like it if the online audits mirrored the detailed summary report.

2019 Buzzboard Review
Gained ability to show customers up to date info
Pros
Easy to use. Speed is in getting info is great
Cons
some of the linking to Salesforce if you already have the opportunity in your name it won't sync the data
Buzzboard Blues
My overall experience is that I wish it gave me a contact name and email address along with a company. Buzzboard can easily partner up with many different companies that already supply this information.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Love BuzzBoard
Pros
My favorite aspect about this software is that it helps me do my job to the best of my abilities. It gives me great feedback and wonderful suggestions.
Cons
The one thing I don't like about this software, is that if i search a company, and I don't save it to a list, it just gets rid of it.
Love it, gives me so much information to get prepared.
Pros
Just how in-depth this program is. I love that it truly gives me an advantage over my competition. Not only does it educate me, but it informs my customers as well.
Cons
It's not a big issue, but sometimes it can't "add prospect" using just the website given. Have to enter it manually most of the time
Getting Better
Pros
Proposal Tool and ROI calculator are my favourite tools. I have had some success with the competitor report and will continue to use that to get my way in the door.
Cons
No Home Page
UX needs massive work
No ability to remove components in reporting
Still a lot of work to do.
The BuzzBoard software and team have been very useful for our business prospecting.
Pros
BuzzBoard are a useful tool in helping to identify prospects and build proposals for our clients. The client service team reach are responsive to queries and customising the program to our specific business requirements.
Cons
It could still be more streamlined. Some things can take longer than ideal and would benefit from having less steps involved in the process.
I love the information provided, but the program itself is not easy to learn
It is a nice program to offer to our clients. The information is interesting.
Pros
The information provided is great. It is great to see the digital presence of each customer and compare them to the competition.
Cons
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".
Great selling tool for me.
Pros
Easy to walk through. My customers like it. Great selling tool. Easy to learn and user friendly. Have had great results with this tool
Competitive information is valuable when showing an clients how they rank among there competitors
Pros
Navigate through system easily. Can see past notes and can edit customer information should it be incorrect
Cons
I find that the SEM data is very inaccurate as well as the mobile or responsive design evaluation.
Buzzboard is great in preparing proposals for clients as well as researching for leads.
Pros
The fact that you can provide a website report to clients as well as target specific keywords relative to the business and include the businesses competition. Buzzboard also produce some great template proposals which have helped me get a few sales over the line.
Cons
The information/data may not always be up to date. I have searched for particular businesses who have a live website, yet Buzzboard will not recognise the search
A simplified Salesforce
Pros
Buzzboard provides a very good funnel for you to drive more sales using data science which is rather efficient.
Cons
You will feel that at times, Buzzboard can cost more than the value it brings you and your company. It gets a little getting used to and will take you time to understand how everything works.
Good
Overall experience has been very positive. BuzzBoard team came out and taught us all about the products.
Pros
The chrome extension is fantastic. While I'm on the phone with businesses I can easily pull up their score.
Cons
Not sure as of yet how accurate some of the scores are.
Its very easy to log into. I can navigate easily through the different options that are displayed and its pretty accurate. If its not accurate I am able to update information. I also like how I am able to put in a random potential clients into the system and it generates a new profile that I can sync with another data system we use known as Base. Normally its automatic but if not again I can sync it. Sometimes its a little slow and gets locked up be with contact customer service who attempts to help
