What Synup is good at

Synup is a local marketing platform for agencies and multi-location brands that syncs business listings across directories and offers add-on modules for review acquisition, social media scheduling and client portals.

With Synup, listings management is the base subscription (~$34.99+/month) while automated review generation, campaigns and advanced features often add extra per-location or modular costs. Tailwind puts review aggregation across 5 major platforms, AI-drafted replies in 40+ languages, SMS/email/QR review requests and AI search visibility (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) into every plan from $29/month.
