Group locations with flexible Tags for bulk control
Flexible Tags gave multi-location teams reusable ways to organize location portfolios and work with meaningful groups.
On September 12, 2018, Synup publicly introduced location Tags inside its existing Location Manager. Teams could group locations by geography, business type, or another useful basis, then use those groups for more efficient bulk control. This was an early multi-location organizing workflow, not the later client-grouping, saved-view, custom-field, or present-day bulk-edit experience.
Roll up rankings and profile performance across location groups
Grouped ranking and Profile Analytics views helped teams understand performance across selected sets of locations.
Also on September 12, 2018, Synup announced rollup ranking and Profile Analytics capabilities for tagged or grouped locations. Teams could view grouped ranking data and profile-performance insights instead of measuring every location in isolation. This milestone established an early rollup foundation without implying the controls, exports, keyword analysis, or reporting depth of later analytics products.
Check whether business information was ready for voice discovery
A free diagnostic assessed how business information appeared through Amazon Alexa and Google Home and established a voice-readiness benchmark.
On September 20, 2018, Synup publicly introduced a free Voice Readiness Test. The diagnostic assessed how a business's information appeared through Amazon Alexa and Google Home, provided insight into how searchers consumed that information through voice-search services, and helped businesses benchmark voice-search performance over time. It was a historical readiness test, distinct from the dedicated Voice Search Optimizer and FAQ or schema workflows documented later.
Early foundations for grouped operations and measurement
These September milestones gave multi-location teams more deliberate ways to organize locations, understand grouped performance, and assess voice readiness. Later Synup products expanded each area through different interfaces and workflows; this retrospective does not treat them as one unchanged product lineage.
