USA - New online review monitoring for the service industry

FreemanGroup, a full-service customer service solutions firm based in Richardson, TX, today announced the launch of FG Pulse, a new social media monitoring solution designed specifically for service industry and hospitality professionals.

"FG Pulse is our response to the service industry's growing need to track and manage online reviews. With millions of travelers leaving reviews on social media sites like TripAdvisor, and more than 750 million registered users able to publicly like or unlike items on Facebook every day, establishments like hotels and restaurants can no longer afford not to monitor online reviews."

Now, you can not only listen to what guests and employees are saying to you, but find out what they're saying about you to their friends, families, and the world."
