What is myPresences?
Multi-location reputation tool layers AI Voice and review-velocity metrics on top of its listing/review core.
myPresences is iterating on its core review-management and listing-distribution surfaces with two threads: AI Voice (rules for AI-generated descriptions and review responses) and richer multi-location dashboards (Review Velocity, Response Rate, ratings overviews across all locations). Listing Sync Pro continues to syndicate listings to 100+ online services. The team is also poking at AI-platform traffic visibility — whether sites are pulling visitors from ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Copilot.
What is Open Web Analytics?
Open Web Analytics 1.14.7 ships unspecified security fixes and a field-clearing command.
Open Web Analytics is a self-hosted web analytics tool. Release 1.14.7 includes security fixes it does not describe, recommends upgrading, needs no schema changes and adds a clear-field-values CLI command with a dry-run mode. It follows a run of 1.14 patches that closed cross-site record access, restored heatmaps broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, and fixed relative date periods that covered the wrong days.

Multi-location reputation tool layers AI Voice and review-velocity metrics on top of its listing/review core.
◆ Current state
myPresences is iterating on its core review-management and listing-distribution surfaces with two threads: AI Voice (rules for AI-generated descriptions and review responses) and richer multi-location dashboards (Review Velocity, Response Rate, ratings overviews across all locations). Listing Sync Pro continues to syndicate listings to 100+ online services. The team is also poking at AI-platform traffic visibility — whether sites are pulling visitors from ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Copilot.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is positioning between two trends: AI-generated content for SMB reputation work, and the increasingly-important question of how SMBs show up to AI assistants and answer engines. Recent dashboard work (real-time multi-location performance) suggests a deliberate push toward agencies and multi-unit operators. Cadence is steady but unhurried, with most releases incremental.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Voice rules to extend across more content surfaces (responses, social posts, listing copy) and the AI-platform traffic question to develop into a real reporting feature. Multi-location dashboards will likely keep accruing per-location metrics until they become the agency-tier sell.
Open Web Analytics
5.0MARKETING
Open Web Analytics 1.14.7 ships unspecified security fixes and a field-clearing command.
◆ Current state
Open Web Analytics is a self-hosted web analytics tool. Release 1.14.7 includes security fixes it does not describe, recommends upgrading, needs no schema changes and adds a clear-field-values CLI command with a dry-run mode. It follows a run of 1.14 patches that closed cross-site record access, restored heatmaps broken since 1.10.1 and 1.13.0, and fixed relative date periods that covered the wrong days.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.14 line is cleanup after the large 1.11 to 1.13 rework (date partitioning, a job scheduler, custom reports and new admin URLs), with fixes landing every few days. The 1.13.0 notes describe it as preparation for a 2.0 branch, so the patch stream is clearing debt before that.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 1.14.x patches for regressions and access checks. The entries say a 2.0 branch is coming but give no date or scope.
