G2 isn't just a review site — it's where B2B buying decisions happen. Here's why your G2 profile is your most valuable sales asset.
G2 ranks products quarterly across a Grid with four quadrants. Your position is determined by review satisfaction scores and market presence.
→ More positive reviews = higher satisfaction = better Grid placement
G2 awards seasonal badges based on review data. These badges are powerful marketing assets that you embed on your website, ads, and sales decks.
→ Less than 1% of G2's 175K+ vendors earn Best Software Awards
Over 100 million buyers visit G2 annually — including employees at every Fortune 500 company. With the recent acquisition of Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp, G2 now controls the largest B2B software review ecosystem in the world.
G2 is also ranked among the top 20 most-cited domains in large language models. As 50% of B2B buyers now start their search with AI chatbots, your G2 reviews directly influence AI-powered software recommendations.
Your product is live but your G2 profile is empty. B2B buyers won't evaluate software with zero reviews. A foundation of quality reviews gets you on the radar.
G2 publishes Grid Reports quarterly. Timing a batch of reviews before the deadline can move you into a higher quadrant — from Niche to High Performer or even Leader.
G2 badges are the most powerful B2B trust signals. 'Leader,' 'High Performer,' and 'Users Love Us' badges on your website dramatically increase demo conversions.
G2 is a top-20 most-cited domain in LLMs. As 50% of B2B buyers now start with AI chatbots, strong G2 reviews ensure AI recommends your product.
Competitors have 200+ reviews while you have 15. In head-to-head comparisons on G2, review volume and satisfaction scores determine who wins.
B2B buyers spend 67% of their journey self-researching. Strong G2 reviews act as virtual reference calls — prospects arrive pre-sold instead of skeptical.
Select quantity (min. 10), provide your G2 product URL, and share feature highlights or use cases to emphasize.
Reviewers with LinkedIn-verified profiles and corporate emails. They authenticate via G2's moderation process.
Detailed reviews covering 'What do you like?', 'What do you dislike?', and feature ratings — exactly how G2 formats them.
Reviews go live after G2 moderation (1-3 days). Track your satisfaction score and Grid placement improvements.

"Our main competitor had 400+ reviews. We strategically added 25 quality reviews timed before the quarterly report and closed the gap on satisfaction scores. Our win rate in head-to-heads jumped 35%."
