BarkBack provides a private channel for customers to share direct feedback, suggestions, and criticisms with businesses, avoiding public review sites like Yelp. Consumers can sign up for free accounts and may receive coupons or offers for completing surveys. Businesses can use a freemium platform to create customized surveys, track feedback, and get notified when issues are resolved to build loyalty. The service targets a wide range of businesses and aims to help them address concerns privately, improve customer service, and manage reputation.
