How GravyBlock differs
GravyBlock does not sync listings across hundreds of directories. It checks that your details agree across your website, Google, and where connected Yelp and Facebook, and focuses on content, Google posts, review replies and outreach.
- Writes articles and service-area pages from your own website's information and publishes them to your connected WordPress, Webflow or Shopify site, then checks the page is live.
- Publishes a weekly Google Business Profile post and adds your own website images to your profile once Google is connected.
- Posts Google review replies automatically once Google is connected, and once your booking or invoicing system is connected, asks real completed customers for a review.
- Pitches relevant local organizations for links and only counts a link once it is verified live. Links are never guaranteed.
- Checks that your name, phone and address agree across your website, Google, and where connected Yelp and Facebook, and alerts you when they drift. It does not build or fix listings on hundreds of directories.
- GravyBlock is $39.99/month.
