Why it matters

Why G2 reviews win B2B deals

For software companies, G2 is a primary buying channel — prospects compare Grids, read reviews and shortlist vendors before ever contacting sales. Verified reviews from real users, at healthy volume and recency, directly influence pipeline.

How G2 keeps reviews trustworthy

Verified reviews — and a compliant way to incentivize

G2 verifies reviewers (via LinkedIn or business email) so buyers can trust what they read. Uniquely, G2 permits incentives — but only through G2's own official program (e.g., G2-administered gift cards), never a private side deal from the vendor. Vendor-written or off-program-incentivized reviews violate G2's guidelines.

How it works

How we grow your G2 reviews

Play by the rules

What G2 allows — and what gets you banned

G2's trust comes from verification. Reviews must be from real, verified users — and any incentive must go through G2's own program, not a private arrangement.

G2 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get more G2 reviews for my business?+

The compliant way is to invite your real users to leave honest reviews and make it effortless — we set up review requests and follow-ups to your real customers at the right moment, so a steady flow of genuine G2 reviews comes in without you chasing them.

Does G2 allow incentivized reviews?+

Yes — but only through G2's own official incentive program (such as G2-administered gift cards), never a private deal from you. Off-program incentives and vendor-written reviews violate G2's guidelines. We keep everything within G2's program.

Are G2 reviews verified?+

Yes — G2 verifies reviewers via LinkedIn or business email so buyers can trust them. That verification is also why fake or fabricated G2 reviews get caught. We focus on inviting your real, verified users.

Do you use fake G2 reviews or fake accounts?+

Never. We do not post reviews, use fake accounts, or write reviews for you. Every review comes from one of your actual customers, voluntarily. Fake or incentivized reviews violate G2's policies and the U.S. FTC Consumer Reviews Rule, and are routinely detected and removed.

Can I remove a negative G2 review?+

You can't delete reviews yourself, and honest negative reviews don't qualify for removal. But G2 will remove reviews that break its policies (spam, fake, off-topic, conflicts of interest). We help you flag policy-violating reviews and, more importantly, outweigh the occasional negative with a steady flow of genuine positive ones.

How do I respond to a G2 review?+

Respond promptly and professionally — acknowledge the feedback and offer a next step. Most consumers expect a response, and it's a strong trust signal. We write and send professional responses for you, to every review.

How quickly will I see results on G2?+

Most clients see their first new reviews within a couple of weeks of launch and a visibly stronger rating within one to two months, then a steady ongoing flow.

Are your G2 reviews compliant?+

Yes — 100%. Verified-customer generation only: no fake reviews, no prohibited incentives, no gating. Everything stays within G2's guidelines and the FTC Consumer Reviews Rule.
