Why it matters

Why Trustpilot reviews build buyer trust

Trustpilot is one of the most recognized trust signals online — its widgets, stars and TrustScore appear on websites, in Google Shopping and in search results. For e-commerce and service brands, a strong Trustpilot profile directly lifts conversion.

How Trustpilot is different

An open platform that wants you to invite customers

Unlike Yelp, Trustpilot encourages businesses to invite every customer to review — as long as you invite all of them, not just the happy ones. Automatic invitations after a purchase are the recommended method, and verified reviews (tied to a real transaction) carry more weight and are less likely to be flagged.

How it works

How we grow your Trustpilot reviews

1

Set up automatic invitations

We connect compliant, automated review invitations that go to every customer after purchase.

2

Invite all customers, not just happy ones

Even-handed invitations keep you compliant and your TrustScore honest.

3

Earn verified reviews

Reviews tied to a real transaction carry more weight and resist flagging.

4

Respond & showcase

Professional responses plus Trustpilot widgets/stars on your site for conversion.

Play by the rules

What Trustpilot allows — and what gets you banned

Trustpilot welcomes review invitations — but they must be even-handed and honest. Incentivizing or cherry-picking violates its guidelines.

✅ Allowed & encouraged

  • Inviting all your customers to review
  • Automatic post-purchase invitations
  • Verified (transaction-tied) reviews
  • Responding to reviews
  • Flagging reviews that break Trustpilot's rules

🚫 Prohibited

  • Cherry-picking only happy customers to invite
  • Offering incentives for positive reviews
  • Writing or buying fake reviews
  • Misusing the flagging system to remove honest reviews

Trustpilot FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

The compliant way is to invite all your customers 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 Trustpilot reviews comes in without you chasing them.

Can I invite customers to leave Trustpilot reviews?+

Yes — Trustpilot encourages it, as long as you invite all your customers (not just happy ones) and don't offer incentives. Automatic post-purchase invitations are the recommended, compliant method, which we set up for you.

Do Trustpilot reviews help my SEO?+

They can. Trustpilot's verified reviews power star-rating rich snippets and widgets that appear on your site and in Google, which can lift click-through and conversion. We help you display them correctly.

Do you use fake Trustpilot 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 Trustpilot's policies and the U.S. FTC Consumer Reviews Rule, and are routinely detected and removed.

Can I remove a negative Trustpilot review?+

You can't delete reviews yourself, and honest negative reviews don't qualify for removal. But Trustpilot 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 Trustpilot 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 Trustpilot?+

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 Trustpilot reviews compliant?+

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