Dashboard & Analytics Enhancements

Sentiment Analysis Custom Themes

We are excited to launch Custom Themes for Sentiment Analysis! This is a highly requested feature that offers greater flexibility to the valuable reviews insights your locations receive. Custom Themes let's admin users create, define, modify, and delete unique sentiment groupings that supplement the default options for your location(s)

• Define the parameters for the Custom Theme such as the name, review criteria, and exclusion list. 
• Modify existing custom themes to update their review criteria or naming convention.
• Delete a Custom Theme to ensure your groupings stay relevant. 

Platform Enhancements

Directory Disconnection Email

Never let a expired token or disconnected account disrupt your online listings! We’ve introduced automated email alerts that notify you immediately if your Google or Facebook connections drop—allowing you to restore syncing before it affects your local visibility.

What's New ✨

• Instant Email Notifications: Receive a proactive email alert the moment a Google Business Profile or Facebook connection issue is detected.
• Impact Visibility: Instantly see the exact number of affected locations right in the email header and body.
• One-Click Reconnection: A direct "Reconnect now" CTA takes you straight to the platform's authentication flow, making it quick and easy to re-establish your data sync.

Businesses Page UI Enhancements

The Business Page is getting a much needed UI refresh. Built on our modern design system, managing your businesses and product plans is now faster, cleaner, and more intuitive.

What's New ✨

• Upgraded Design System: ensures visual consistency with the rest of your platform experience. 
• Streamlined Product Plan Management: Easily explore, search, and compare product plans via a new side panel drawer, complete with contract terms, included directories, and coverage details. 
• Safer Plan Upgrades: Clear, step-by-step confirmation modals with customizable start dates give you total control over when a product plan changes take effect. 

Updated Users & User Rights Page

Managing team access across your organization just got faster, clearer, and much easier! We’ve overhauled the Users List and User Rights pages to give administrators complete self-service control over user setup, roles, and location assignments—all in a modern, streamlined interface.

What's New ✨

• Modernized User Interface: Redesigned using our latest UI design system for faster page loads, cleaner navigation, and a consistent platform experience.
• User & Location Assignment Overview: Quickly view a clear breakdown of every user alongside their specifically assigned locations, taking the guesswork out of team access boundaries.

Listings Enhancements

Listings Clarity: Status & Sync Transparency 

We’ve overhauled the Listings + Connections page to give you complete visibility into your location data updates. By replacing generic status labels with actionable insights and turnaround expectations, you can now easily track where your listings stand and know exactly when your input is needed. This update clears out that friction—providing clear, accurate statuses, surfacing active background attempts, and making it obvious when a setting needs your attention.

What's New ✨

• Real-time Sync & Submission Resolution: Successful directory submissions now transition smoothly into Synced or Submitted rather than lingering in an "Updating" status.
• Transparent Attempt Timestamps: For listings undergoing active background pushes, you’ll now see a relative timestamp of our most recent update attempt (e.g., *"Last attempt: 2 hours ago"*), confirming that the system is actively working to sync your data.
• Clear Expectations: Certain directories take longer to process changes than others. You can now view estimated turnaround windows directly on the page (e.g., Bing: ~14 days) so you know when changes will go live.
• Auto-Sync Status Banners: When auto-sync is paused, a dedicated banner will display your last sync date without displaying misleading "In Progress" messages. Re-enabling sync is just one click away.
• Unstarted Sync States: Fresh locations that haven't kicked off an initial sync now display an empty state with a direct button to start syncing.

MapQuest Expansion Latin Script Countries

We are excited to announce a massive expansion of our MapQuest publishing capabilities! We have scaled our support from 6 initial regions to 181 countries and territories worldwide.

What’s New ✨

• Massive Reach: Your location data is now automatically published to MapQuest across all supported markets using the Latin script.
• Seamless Local Presence: Ensures accurate, standardized business listing information across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and parts of Asia.

Local Social Enhancements 

Social Performance Dashboard

We are introducing a refreshed Posts page and new Post Performance Dashboard within the Social section of the platform. The new Post Performance page offers a quick view into how each of the posts created are performing across the selected channels. This gives you a full view on the number of views, reactions, comments, clicks, and shares right from the Social module. This release focuses on post performance for Meta channels (Facebook and Instagram) with more support coming soon. 

What's New ✨

Image Cropping

We are introducing native image cropping capabilities within the Social Post Builder to eliminate workflow friction and reduce media-formatting publication errors across supported networks. Users will now be presented with an alert whenever an image doesn't meet the requirements of the selected social channels. Users can crop to an aspect ratio that is supported by the selected social channels. 

What's New ✨

• In-App Editing & Resizing: Crop, adjust, and re-format images for Facebook, Instagram, Google, TikTok, and Apple directly inside the post builder, no external tools or re-uploads required.
• Network-Specific Aspect Ratios: Quickly select recommended dimensions for each target platform to ensure your images look crisp and perfectly fitted every time.
