MIGRATING FROM SOCI

Tired of the same canned template hitting every one of your 20 locations?

SOCi's Genius AI is rule-based workflow automation with LLM text generation layered on top — not a custom model trained on each location's voice. G2 reviewers list "canned responses" as a PRO because the response is predictable across every location in your portfolio. GBP Pilot is trained per-location on that location's actual listing data and review history, so every reply reads like it came from the local team that actually works there.

WHAT SOCI USERS ARE SAYING

“We had three locations in the same market post the exact same response to completely different reviews — customers started screenshotting it and asking us if we were using bots.”

“I’d estimate I rewrite every response SOCi drafts before it goes out. At that point I’m paying for autocomplete, not a service.”

“We bought the automation tier specifically so my team could stop doing this work. They’re still doing the work.”

PRICING

A premium that buys quality

SOCI Custom enterprise (typically $500+/location/mo)
GBP PILOT $149/mo flat

SOCi's enterprise custom pricing is the price tag for "rule-based workflow automation with LLM text generation layered on top — no custom models." GBP Pilot flips that: a flat per-location price for a model that actually reads each location's history. The cost of one bad canned-template reply hitting twenty locations is more than a year of GBP Pilot. See full plan details →
