      We signed up with this marketing platform based on big promisesmore customer reviews, improved SEO rankings, and an overall boost in online presence. After a year and a half, we saw no results: not a single review was generated through the platform, and there was zero noticeable improvement in search rankings.The platform itself is underwhelming and lacks the tools and support you'd expect from a service with such high claims. To make matters worse, we were automatically locked into another annual contract without prior notice, and when we tried to cancel, they outright refused. We're now stuck paying for a service that continues to deliver no value.Very disappointed in the lack of transparency and support. We do not recommend this platform to other businesses looking for tangible results or fair customer service.

      We had a contract with Birdeye for marketing. They had a breach of contract in that multiple things were not done:1. They stated they were going to send solicitations for reviews of our business via email and also text. This was always faulty, we never got the correct number of recipients(patients seen that day) who got an invitation to do a review despite NUMEROUS times mentioning to them that the patients seen that day(customers) did not all get review requests which is what we paid for. This was brought to the attention of multiple people-our initial onboarding person and then our subsequent customer relations employee. 2. ********** My Business pages were frequently disconnected from the software thereby rendering us unable to solicit reviews which is also what we paid for and never corrected. This was also brought to their attention NUMEROUS times yet never fixed. 3. We tried all the appropriate channels including communicating with their legal department yet to no successful resolution. 3. We were supposed to receive DAILY emails outlining the work but NEVER received these, they were sporadic and brought this also to their attention. 4. They continued to charge for 4 offices each month when we only had 2 operating.5. They have continued to send repeated threatening emails and dont work on successful conflict resolution. I am seeking no further contact from this business. They ultimately should owe me for services that were never rendered properly as per the contract. I have tried to resolve this amicably yet their legal department ********* ******** continues with threatening emails and does not want to address my concerns which is a significant breach of contract.

      My company's been trying to cancel our service for over a year now. We requested cancellation in January of 2024 due to not receiving the services we were promised, mainly an easy way to send a review request to our customers using a QuickBooks integration. We have had no resolution to our complaints for over a year now. We were auto-renewed, even though we requested cancellation a full 7 months prior to our renewal date. I have sent several emails this past month to everyone that I was in contact with over this past year with no resolution. I haven't even received an email or a call back. We requested an immediate cancellation of our contract as well as reimbursement for the fees were were charged in 2024 and in 2025.

      I have emailed Birdeye several times at different addresses. There is a review on a listing on their website that I did not authorize to publish and I do not want my personal information present when searching for it online. They have refused to respond and do not provide any information to remove your personal information from their website.

      I am rejecting this response because: Despite the company reaching out to me to claim they are "removing" my information, it has been over 1 week with zero progress.  I have emailed them several times and they say they are "working" on it.  How hard is it to remove the requested information? I am not satisfied.

      On October 24, 2024 after withdrawing their normal monthly payment of $279.83 from my business account, they withdrew an additional unauthorized amount of $279.83 on the same day. On November 19, 2024 they withdrew another unauthorized amount of $313.95 after withdrawing the normal monthly payment amount of $279.83 on November 14, 2024. On December 19, 2024 they withdrew another unauthorized amount of $313.95 after withdrawing the normal monthly payment amount of $279.83 on December 14, 2024. On January 21, 2025 they withdrew another unauthorized amount of $313.95 after withdrawing the normal monthly payment amount of $279.83 on January 14, 2025. On January 21, 2025 I called ****** **** ************************************** a "Supervisor" giving him specific dates and amounts of the overcharges. He said he would reach out on Thursday January 23, 2025 with resolution. I never heard from him. On Jan. 30 he emailed requesting proof of overcharges as his finance department could not see any evidence of overcharges. On Jan. 31 he acknowledged receiving the information and would pass it to his Finance team. By Feb. 4 receiving no response I emailed actual copies of bank statements with sensitive data removed proving the overcharges and instructed him to cancel our contract and refund the unauthorized charges. His response: "let me reach out to Finance so they can investigate further." Feb 7 he offered additional services to "make up for the error" with nothing said about returning funds. It is now Feb 17 with no refunds or contacts from Birdeye. All we ask is a cancellation of our contract and the return of the misappropriated funds.

      Complaint was filed on or about 01/21/2025 against Birdeye by our company owner *** ******* ***************** the original complaint was "We decided to terminate our services prior to the end of the contract due to the lack of results we were seeing. Upon notifying Birdeye of our intent we were informed we were on an automatic renewal. As with other customer reviews here we were told that they require a 90-day notice for cancellation, and they could not modify this due to contract requirements. However, we were never notified that the renewal process had started. Under California's Automatic Renewal Law (ARL), if a consumer accepts an automatic renewal offer or continuous service offer with an initial term of one year or longer, the company is required to provide notice at least 15 days but no more than 45 days before the renewal occurs. Birdeye failed to meet this requirement, leaving us blindsided by the renewal."Birdeye responded for us to email ***** ******* to discuss the matter. ***** was emailed and has yet to respond. Other people on *****'s team have responded however, there has been no resolution or effort provided by Birdeye. Several emails have been sent and as of today Birdeye has gone quiet. Our complaint is the exact same as many other BBB complaints filed against Birdeye. They have asked us to meet about the *** of their services but when asked to meet about our complaint they will not engage nor will they schedule a meeting. They continue to email the owner promotional offers and the invoice for this year. We have no intentions of using their services as we cancelled the contract in writing on 12/17/2024. Birdeye states we did not give the required advanced notification for the contract however, they did not provided notification per California law of the upcoming automatic renewal.

      Upon signing up for Birdeye I was told that if services werent up to our standards we could cancel. They werent aligned with our needs and so we attempted to cancel. Multiple phone calls and emails later a supervisor assured me no one else would contact us to convince us to stay and that the account would be closed. He said there would be notes placed on the account.They are still pestering us! We blocked them by email and phone and they just create a new number or email address to annoy us from. They are still charging us $351.51 every month.DONT SIGN UP WITH THEM! Learn from all of these previous complaints. Dont do it!
