Built for multi-location brands, Search AI shows how your brand and each location appears across AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity., It explains why locations are chosen or ignored, and uses AI agents to improve visibility at scale.
Reviews AI Agents grow reviews, respond with context, and uncover insights automatically to turn brand trust into revenue growth.
Always accurate, always up to date, Listings AI Agents keep your listings visible everywhere customers search, driving more traffic, leads, and revenue.
Social AI Agents craft, publish, and optimize brand-aligned content across all locations to grow reach and deepen loyalty.
The two platforms serve different scopes. Scrunch is priced for brand-level monitoring, whereas Search AI allows you to configure, track, and optimize AI visibility at a brand level and across all your locations
Scrunch supports multi-brand and multi-region deployments with role-based access. Its focus is on AI visibility monitoring across brands and regions rather than the per-location operational model for franchise and multi-location brands.
In most cases, yes. Birdeye's Search AI covers AI visibility monitoring, and the broader platform replaces separate tools for reputation management, listings, social, and customer messaging.
Scrunch provides monitoring, insights, and site-level optimization tools. It does not include AI agents that automatically execute changes to your reputation, listings, or content presence. Teams must develop and implement their own improvement strategy.
Birdeye enterprise onboarding typically takes a few weeks, depending on location count and integration requirements. Contact Birdeye for a specific timeline.
