Sometimes big isn’t helpful
At Stratus, we believe that managing online reviews and local listing information shouldn’t take a significant portion of your day. And we definitely don’t think you should spend hours learning our system and reading support documents (though we have them available). Other platforms out there offer similar features and tools, but are not as simple to learn, understand or use.
Here’s what our feature set looks like compared to other platforms:

Stratus has the right features
As a team coming from a digital marketing agency, we’ve worked with dozens of businesses for over a decade and understand what's important and impactful when it comes to managing reviews and improving local search. And because of this, we built Stratus to perform. Here are two of our favorite time-saving features.
Manage holiday hours
Making sure that your business hours are always up-to-date is critical. This can be an easy task for one location, but if you have multiple locations, the room for errors rises. Stratus lets you update Holiday hours once and push them to all locations (or the ones you select) across both GMB and Facebook.
Respond quickly and consistently
Responding to reviews is important, but it can be time-consuming. With Stratus, you can create personalized Review Reply templates that make replying to reviews a snap. Plus, it’s even easier to ensure your replies strike the right tone for your brand.
Straightforward and transparent pricing
We built Stratus with local businesses in mind, creating a platform that makes an impact, saves you time, and cuts out unnecessary features. Below is a comparison of features and pricing -- why pay more for bells and whistles you won’t use.
