The practical differences
Your website. Your marketing. The whole picture.
Compare building tools, connected business workflows, and the people responsible for making them work.
iMedia-Vibe combines AI website creation with access to a connected marketing platform and an agency team. The website subscription does not include every marketing product: premium CRM AI, Conversations, Social AI, Local SEO, and additional agency services require the appropriate subscriptions and agreed setup.

|---|---|---|
| AI website creation | Describe, review, refine, and publish with business context. Self-service or agency-built websites. | Chat-based website and app creation with Bolt Cloud infrastructure. |
| CRM & lead follow-up | Core CRM, meeting link, and payment integration are advertised with self-service. Premium sales AI and configured workflows are separate. | Build or connect a customer workflow; CRM routing and maintenance need implementation. |

| Social content & publishing | Optional Social AI Premium supports calendars, drafts, imagery, and publishing to connected networks. Agency review is separately scoped. | A custom content tool can be built; connected-network publishing needs a defined integration. |
| Local visibility & search | Search-readable website publishing; optional Local SEO adds profile, listing, and keyword tools. No ranking or AI-citation guarantee. | Website SEO and directory management are different. Scope local-listing integrations separately. |
| Onboarding & real people | Business-context onboarding with an agency team and on-call support. Confirm enabled starter work and separately scoped services. | Prompt-led building with platform tools. Confirm who configures, tests, and maintains your business workflows. |

This is a purchasing guide, not a feature-parity or savings guarantee. Provider plans, availability, limits, and fees can change. Payment processing, premium AI usage, integrations, and agency services can add costs. Confirm the complete workflow before purchase; an unconfirmed feature is not necessarily unavailable.

The iMedia onboarding story
From setup checklists to something you can review.
Our technology partners describe an onboarding flow that researches a business, prepares a starter website, trains a receptionist, and produces a visibility audit before the first login. The idea is simple: review useful work instead of starting from an empty account. Ask which parts are enabled for your iMedia-Vibe invitation and which upgrades require a subscription.
“Prospects are noticing the difference. Easy AI Onboarding makes the leap from trial to paid for iMediaAudiences Agency clients feel effortless — and that’s turning into real sales momentum for iMediaSalesTeam.”
