Grade.us tracked feed is a 2022 agency-tooling drumbeat — current product cadence isn't visible.

review managementagency toolingintegrationsnotificationsprospect reporting
◆Current state
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.
◆Where it's heading
Within the snapshot, Grade.us was steadily widening the agency-grade surface — better notifications, better reporting, more integrations to populate review-request campaigns, and admin controls (overage opt-out, review delay) that mid-market and agency buyers expect. None of it is directional; it reads as classic late-stage SaaS rounding-out.
◆Prediction
Limited to what's visible: more integrations, more notification-rule depth, more agency-reporting cuts. Anything beyond that would be speculation since the feed has no recent activity.

    Updated Timing of SMS Requst

    Adds a 14-day delay option to SMS review-request timing, expanding scheduling control beyond the prior options. Small but pertinent for businesses with delayed-experience cycles.

    Updated and Enhanced Prospect Report

    Prospect Report adds nearest-competitor comparisons across overall score, average rating, review volume, recency, and Google sentiment. White-label CTAs preserved. A meaningful upgrade for agency sales pitches.
