Product team at TheBigBot LLC
AutoSocialProof is built and operated by a small product team at TheBigBot LLC. The same people who configure the app's notification types, pixel and webhook pipeline write these guides, so every setting we mention exists in the app today. We do not publish conversion-lift percentages we cannot verify, and when we cite a law or a third-party number we give the source and the date.
