If you’re in the business of building trust, boosting visibility, or scaling client success, there’s one event you absolutely need to carve out time for this May: AmpUp 2025. Hosted by the team behind GatherUp and Grade.us, this year’s theme—AmpUp Your Reputation—is more than just a slogan. It’s a call to action for digital agencies to own the future of reputation management.
Here’s why you (and your entire team) should grab your free full access pass before seats fill up:
1. It’s not just another webinar. It’s the reputation event of the year.
Forget static slide decks and recycled content. AmpUp is designed to fuel real growth with high-impact insights, live Q&A with top experts, and conversations that dig deeper than your average Zoom call. Whether you’re a GatherUp power user or new to proactive reputation strategies, every session is designed to give you something tangible to take back to your agency.
2. The lineup is stacked with industry heavy-hitters.
This year’s speaker list reads like a “who’s who” of local SEO, agency leadership, and marketing innovation. We’re talking:
- Mike Blumenthal, the godfather of local search, on what really moves the needle in today’s SEO landscape
- Joy Hawkins, founder of Sterling Sky, breaking down exactly how reviews influence rankings on Google—and what most agencies get wrong
- Jason Swenk, with his proven “foot in the door” sales system for agencies
- Brad Wetherall, Google Business expert, on winning reputation strategies in the AI era
- Marianne O’Connor on earning executive buy-in for reputation investments
And that’s just a sample—more sessions are still being added.
3. Get the inside track on what’s next from GatherUp.
On Day 2, Alexia Platenburg, our Senior Product Marketing Manager, will walk you through “What’s New at GatherUp.” Expect sneak peeks, upcoming features, and smarter workflows that’ll make managing multi-location clients (and review requests) smoother than ever.
If you want a head start on tools that’ll make your agency look brilliant, this is where it begins.
4. Data-backed strategy, not just inspiration.
In the opening keynote, Michael Yules (CEO, GatherUp & Grade.us) will kick things off by framing the landscape we’re all navigating in 2025—and what comes next. Immediately after, Nick Petroski from Promethean Research will share fresh findings on the trends reshaping digital agencies this year.
This isn’t just thought leadership. It’s operational intel designed to help you grow.
5. We’re talking reputation—beyond the stars.
AmpUp will cover reputation from all angles: how to influence it, how to leverage it, and how to prove its value. That includes tactical sessions on review generation, executive buy-in, Google visibility, and the impact of AI.
Because let’s be honest: reviews don’t live in a vacuum. They influence rankings, conversions, trust, and even hiring. This is the conference that acknowledges that big picture—and helps you turn it into action.
6. Built for agencies, not just brands.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: agency life is hectic. Juggling tools, campaigns, and client expectations is no joke. That’s why AmpUp is purpose-built for digital agencies. Whether you’re a five-person powerhouse or a 200-seat machine, you’ll walk away with frameworks, talking points, and feature know-how to help you win new business and retain more of it.
And yes, we’ll cover the actual playbooks that leading agencies use to package and price reputation services.
7. It’s free. And easy to attend from wherever you are.
Zero travel budget? No problem. AmpUp is 100% virtual and 100% free. That means you can tune in from your desk, couch, or wherever your agency magic happens. Just register once and drop in on the sessions that matter most.
Oh, and did we mention we’re planning some perks for attendees? Let’s just say… the early birds will be glad they signed up.
