The practical differences
Your website. Your marketing. The whole picture.
Compare building tools, connected business workflows, and the people responsible for making them work.

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.”
