About Grade.us
Grade.us tracked feed is a 2022 agency-tooling drumbeat — current product cadence isn't visible.
The visible feed runs late 2021 through mid-2022 and centers on agency-focused tooling: a new Notification Center with rule-based email alerts, a redesigned Add Location flow, delayed-publishing controls on the review stream, an enhanced Prospect Report with competitor benchmarking, finer-grained SMS-timing options, and additional integrations (Google Sheets joining HubSpot, Constant Contact, Quickbooks). Nothing more recent than 2022 is captured.
