The AdIQ Advantage

Where AdIQ Goes Further Than Thryv

Thryv covers business operations. But when it comes to actually driving leads and growing your online presence, here's what sets AdIQ apart.

AI-Built Websites

Thryv has a template-based DIY builder. AdIQ creates and manages a custom AI-built website with Site Score tracking. Request changes via chat, updates go live within 24 hours.

AI Call Intelligence

Thryv has a basic phone line. AdIQ's CID call tracking captures every call with sentiment scoring, scores conversations 1-10 with sentiment analysis, and auto-captures leads you'd otherwise miss.

Full Ad Management

Thryv has zero ad capabilities. AdIQ manages Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, with real-time ROAS tracking. This alone can be worth the entire monthly fee.

11-Source Lead Tracking

Thryv's CRM tracks contacts. AdIQ tracks where every lead comes from: website, phone, SMS, Google Business, Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and AI search.

AI Search Visibility

Thryv doesn't track any rankings. AdIQ monitors where your business appears in Google and across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, the future of search.

Content Done for You

Thryv lets you post to social media, but you write everything. AdIQ creates the content, posts it, and produces up to 4 professional videos per month on Elite plans.

Pricing Breakdown

What You Actually Pay
