Prioritizing ?? buyer trust - February Newsletter

Hi there,

If a B2B technology buyer can’t find a product they trust to meet their organization’s needs, it will result in no decision—no purchase.

To help buyers see, at a glance, that a vendor is providing accurate and relevant insights about their product and customer use cases on our platform, we’ve recently introduced the Trusted Seller verification program.?

This program is a differentiator in the market as it recognizes product transparency and ethical review generation practices. Trusted Sellers do not have to be a TrustRadius customer, still, not every company will qualify—check the criteria to see what you can do to earn your badge in the next round.

Because buyer trust builds relationships, it’s time to prioritize it. To help get you moving in the right direction, I’m excited to share the following compilation of resources:

  • 2025 Review Quality Report: Our annual report on the future of B2B reviews and how our review generation and moderation processes fight fraudulent reviews
  • TL;DR Playbook series: Learn how to boost search rankings and buyer trust with reviews and intent data
  • TrustRadius awards: Awards based on customer feedback—social proof you can be proud to promote
  • Leveraging TrustRadius offerings: Articles and interviews on how vendors are seeing ROI with TrustRadius
  • Reviews After Dark: Find out how Paylocity’s review growth boosted page views, hand-raisers, and wins

Best,


Vinay Bhagat , Founder and CEO, TrustRadius
