  • Patent number: 10417671
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide a system for optimizing dynamic review generation. The system include a memory to store profile data for a plurality of merchant; and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to create a dynamic redirection container for an online review associated with a merchant. The dynamic message container is transmitted to a client device of a user at the physical location. Confirmation is received from the client device that the dynamic redirection container is activated by the user. One or more weighted event factors associated with a plurality of sites is identified based on the received confirmation and distribution parameters specified by a merchant system for the merchant. In accordance with the weighted event factors, the client device is redirected to at least one site of the plurality sites as being associated with the dynamic redirection container.

  • Publication number: 20190130468
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide for a knowledge search engine platform to analyze a search query initiated by a user device to identify a natural language inquiry associated with questions about a particular business, (e.g., product brand data such as products, services, employees, events, etc.). This may include searching through large amounts of data for hidden patterns and relationships of events, and presenting this knowledge data in a readily understandable format for users. The knowledge data is then presented in a structured form that is easily digestible to allow users via the user device to find the information they are looking to retrieve. The knowledge data may also include competitor intelligence that allows users to identify competitors, by searching a local pack to return results of potential competitors. The local pack may be within proximity of an indication of location of where the user is searching using with user device.

  • Publication number: 20180165648
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure provide a system for verifying publisher suggestions. The system includes a memory to store profile data for one or more entities; and a processing device coupled to the memory to identify an indication from a source of a suggested change to an online listing data associated with an entity at one or more provider systems. It is determined whether the suggested change matches previously stored information regarding the entity. Responsive to detecting a difference between the suggested change and the stored information, a communication with a client device associated with the entity is initiated based on the suggested change. Input data is received from the client device based on the initiated communication that indicates whether to accept or reject the suggested change. Thereupon, the suggested change is applied to the online listing data at the one or more provider systems in accordance with the input data.

  • Publication number: 20180121970
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide techniques to optimize dynamic third party review generation for transmitting redirection request links. In one implementation, a system is provide that comprises a memory to store profile data for one or more merchants; and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to receive an indication to generate an online review for a client device associated with a location of a merchant. Responsive to receiving the indication, one or more weighted event factors associated with the merchant are determined. One or more distribution parameters specified by a merchant system are selected based on the weighted event factors for the merchant. An online third party review site is identified based on the distribution parameters. Thereupon, the online third party site is caused to transmit a reviewing object to the client device for posting the online review of the location of the merchant.

  • Publication number: 20170359281
    Abstract: A messaging system in one embodiment includes a messaging app and a polling extension app. The polling extension app is configured to create data for a polling context that is displayed in a view hosted by the messaging app to allow voting by users selected for the poll and to update the polling context with the votes from the users. The messaging app launches the polling extension app, and the polling context is communicated between the polling extension app and the messaging app through an interprocess communication.
