WHY IT MATTERS

Why is reputation management so important?


Think of your online reputation as your business’s digital word of mouth. Just as citations form your digital identity through facts, your reputation forms your identity through trust. When your reviews are fresh and positive, it helps customers, search engines, and even AI find and trust you.

The Grow plan allows you to send as many SMS requests as you need, provided you have enough SMS Mode Credits in your account.

Think of credits like a digital stamp for your messages:
USA & Canada: 1 credit per SMS.
UK: 2 credits per SMS.

To get you started, we add 10 free credits to every account so you can test it out. If you need more, you can easily top up with bundles (starting at 100 credits) directly from your dashboard. The best part? Your credits never expire, so you can use them at your own pace across any of your active locations.
