What do you like best about Broadly?

I like having quick, easy access to reviews as they come in and the ability to reply within Broadly. It is also nice to see statistics on how technicians are performing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadly?

I do sometimes find it is faster to just reply to a review from the platform it was posted on. However, I think this would not be true if I had many platforms to manage at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Broadly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Broadly gives us a platform to see our incoming reviews, reply to them, and track our performance. This helps us to keep track of which new reviews have come in and been followed up on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadly?

Text reviews. This was the only feature we were interested in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadly?

We received about 20 reviews over a 9-month period broadly. We received the same amount of reviews by just emailing the client a google review link. We were not interested in broadly for anything except the text for reviews feature. We have sent broadly links to over 150 clients this year, and have gotten 20 reviews. We also requested on sign up to be put on a month-to-month plan, which our salesman agreed to.

We made the decision to part ways with broadly and contacted the support team. The Broadly support team quoted a 12 month contract, cancelation fees, etc etc. I explained that we have paid $2,520 for 20 reviews. This is not what we were promised. And the decision to be put on a month to month plan apparently got "lost" in their records.

Broadly is trying to milk us for another 2 months before cancellation. There are many better and less expensive services out there.

Overall, broadly fell very short of what was promised. And unfortunately, their customer service is poor at best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Broadly solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the moment, they are causing us problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadly?

We have been serving our community for over 30 years (before the internet was popular). We had never mastered success getting customers to give us a review even when we exceeded their expectations. Since we have partnered up with Broadly, we have received many amazing and uplifting reviews which lets us know our technicians are going the extra mile for our customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadly?

What's not to like? They are always able to help us if we have a question. If they aren't sure how to advise us, they work hard to figure it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Broadly:

What are you waiting for? Increase your visibility with more reviews! If you aren't sure, you can use the trial and I guarantee you will see the benefit the first month and turn your trial into a years subscription! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Broadly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We no longer have to harp on our technicians to request a review from our customers, because Broadly now does that for us! We are able to set up competitions with our technicians when the customer mentions them in the review. The great reviews are always a lift to the technicians as well and a benefit to our family owned business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Broadly?

Broadly has saved me hours of time by completely automating the client review process. Setting up custom forms and following up with clients was very time consuming. Once we signed up with Broadly our reviews skyrocketed and all we had to do was watch them roll in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadly?

Some of the features, like Web Chat, we would never use. It would be nice to have different levels of service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Broadly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting my clients to do reviews, even with emails, was difficult. Having the requests texted to clients and the simplicity of them being able to respond gets a much better response. The follow up emails for those clients that don't text or forget have been great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
