As AI goes mainstream, Birdeye turns to its trusted partner Google Cloud, global leader in AI driven technologies, to deliver transformative customer experiences to its 100,000 customers.

Birdeye, a leading provider of reputation management and digital customer experience solutions, has expanded its long-standing premier partnership with Google Cloud to offer businesses an innovative way to manage customer feedback. The partnership now includes the use of Google’s conversational AI service Bard, which will help businesses understand customer interactions, like reviews and surveys, and respond faster.

The integration of Bard into Birdeye’s platform builds on the two companies’ history of collaboration which has already helped thousands of local brands and businesses build accurate Google Business Profiles, seamlessly generate and manage Google reviews across multiple locations, improve return on Google ad spends with Google Seller Ratings, and engage customers via Google Business Messages. By adding Bard capabilities, Birdeye customers can now automate the process of monitoring and responding to customer reviews and surveys, saving valuable time and improving efficiency.
