Choosing the right software partner for your agency comes down to one thing: can they help you deliver consistent results for clients without creating more work for your team? The best partners fit your services today, scale with you tomorrow, and back it up with real support, onboarding, and proven outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a strong agency sales strategy takes real work. You need the right team, a clear ideal client profile, and a software partner you can trust to help you support those clients year after year. The right partner does more than check feature boxes. It helps you deliver outcomes, retain accounts, and scale your services without disrupting your workflow. To understand what \u201cright\u201d looks like, we sat down with JD Dammeier, owner of Birdeye partner agency Bizinga, to learn the tips, habits, and insights that help agencies choose a partner and grow with confidence.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This blog covers how agencies can evaluate and choose a software partner that supports long-term client success. It also shares JD Dammeier\u2019s practical advice from Bizinga on what to look for, what to avoid, and how to build a repeatable approach.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Bizinga<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Hi JD, thanks so much for meeting with us. We\u2019d love to hear a little bit more about your business Bizinga. Can you tell us a little bit about your team and how many clients you currently serve? <\/strong><\/gwmw><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Thanks for having me. Bizinga is a marketing agency that partners with Birdeye. We\u2019re focused on helping businesses collect reviews, get discovered online, get connected with customers, and get the feedback they need to offer great experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right now, we offer multiple Birdeye products to our clients including Reviews, Referrals, Website Chat<\/a>, Listings, Surveys, Insights, and Benchmarking. Currently, we\u2019re serving over 400 clients all over the United States and beyond. We actually have a few clients as far away as Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We used to offer other packages to clients like website development. We\u2019ve since stopped. We\u2019ve found that products like Reviews and Referrals are really what drive the best results for clients. It\u2019s also what\u2019s easiest for our lean team to manage. Right now, we have just one full-time employee and one employee who does part-time work for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s a lot of clients. How is your small team managing that many different businesses? <\/strong><\/gwmw><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The key factor is automation. It would be pretty much impossible for our team to manage that many relationships manually. Luckily, integrating Birdeye<\/a> with the software systems our clients are already using is a huge time-saver. Once that\u2019s taken care of, Review<\/a>, Referral,<\/a> and Survey<\/a> requests go out automatically. Then, we just let the system drive results. After the initial set-up, there\u2019s no need for anyone on my team or the client\u2019s team to get involved. <\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automation is also great for managing churn. The biggest reason why I believe why clients churn from agencies is that clients often don\u2019t have the time to handle all the manual work that may come with a shiny new software platform. They end up not getting any results and then just cancel the contract. On the other hand, automation ensures that they\u2019re getting the results they\u2019re looking for, even if their team is too busy to even take a look at the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One other thing that I\u2019ve found to be very helpful when it comes to managing client relationships is streamlining the messaging process. There are several different channels that a client might use to message you and it can be hard to stay on top of them all. The Birdeye Messaging helps simplify the process for my team. All of our clients\u2019 messages from Facebook, text, email, or website chat are all in our Unified Inbox. If an issue comes up, we can notice and get in touch right away. <\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Birdeye<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
How has the business been faring during the pandemic? <\/strong><\/gwmw><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly, churn has actually gone down for us during the pandemic. It\u2019s partially a consequence of the type of businesses that we serve \u2014 we have a lot of clients in the automotive space, and they\u2019ve fared better than other verticals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, our low churn rate also shows how valuable the products that we\u2019re offering are during our current time. The whole world is moving to digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, \u2018being found online\u2019 is changing too. More customers now ask AI tools questions instead of typing short keywords. That\u2019s why the right software partner like t Birdeye continues to evolve with the market. With Birdeye Search AI<\/strong><\/a>, businesses can stay visible on AI-driven platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It shows whether a brand appears in AI responses, how AI describes it, and whether key business details such as hours and contact information remain accurate. For an agency, that matters because it protects results and retention as search behavior shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Birdeye<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s more important than ever for businesses to be found online, be connected with their customers, and collect feedback to improve their operations. The products that we offer via Birdeye are more essential than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s amazing. You talked about the importance of automation earlier. What else are you doing to keep churn rates so low? <\/strong><\/gwmw><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It really starts from the initial conversation you\u2019re having with your clients. Too many agencies make the mistake of overselling and talking about all of these cool features you can offer the client. For a business owner, it can feel like an information overload. After a while, they stop really understanding what you\u2019re saying and just stop listening entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like keeping the benefits simple and straightforward in that initial conversation. I let them know that my team can help them make their life easy \u2014 we can help them collect reviews from their customers. I make sure that the expectations are clear and they understand exactly how we can help them collect more social proof and how much time it will take before they start seeing results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you show results to your clients month after month? <\/strong><\/gwmw><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So, this is going to be similar to my last answer: the most important thing is that you don\u2019t overload your clients with too much information. Most business owners have a lot going on already and probably don\u2019t have time to learn about the importance of some of the really technical SEO metrics that agencies throw at them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, I find that the best solution is keeping things simple. One metric I like to show is how many reviews they received. Not everyone understands things like page load speed, but pretty much every business owner understands how important reviews are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have any advice for agencies that want to find the right partner? <\/strong><\/gwmw><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So there are a few factors that every agency should pay attention to. Let\u2019s go through them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, it\u2019s got to be an all-in-one platform. Point solutions can create more work for your team as well as your clients. They don\u2019t have time to be flipping between all of these different products. They want the ability to view everything in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, the software you\u2019re using should be able to integrate with the software systems your clients are using. I spoke about the value of automation earlier. Again, it\u2019s crucial for helping your clients see results without them having to do manual work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also important to find a platform that\u2019s easy to set up. You don\u2019t want your team spending too much time on that initial onboarding phase. You want to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible so you can start delivering results right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, you need to make sure that it\u2019s a reliable platform. No client wants to work with a product that\u2019s so buggy it just doesn\u2019t work from a technical perspective. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to pay attention to third-party reviews for any platform you’re considering. You should also look for partners who have a strong Support team that can step in and help in case anything goes wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, you need a platform that\u2019s scalable. Like I said we\u2019re currently working with more than 400 clients, so we need a system that works for all of them. We\u2019re lucky that Birdeye helps us serve all of their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
