Decision in 30 seconds
Stay on Birdeye or switch?
Stay on Birdeye when its lane is your whole job: Review generation, listings, and reputation for local businesses. Switch to MarketPounce when that job is one channel among many and the stack around it — enrichment, sequences, SMS, voice, and reviews — should share one lead record and one approval desk. The honest limit: Not a full Birdeye listings-syndication / multi-directory network. Strength is ask + gate + reply + GBP inside the growth desk that already owns the lead.

How switching works
From Birdeye to the growth desk in four steps
- Map the job. Name what Birdeye owns today — reviews & listings — and what sits beside it in your stack.
- Move the lead record first. Hunt and enrich your ICP in Desk so every channel pursues the same accounts, not exported CSVs.
- Rebuild the motion under approval. Recreate sequences, SMS follow-up, and review asks in Growth; approve before anything sends.
- Cancel the overlap, keep the specialist. Retire Birdeye only where MarketPounce genuinely covers the job — keep it where the honest gap above says we do not.
Why operators switch
When MarketPounce is the better fit

- Leadgen + reviews in one OS for service operators
