Service Review Labels

Invited

A review that’s marked “Invited” indicates that the business invited the reviewer to write it by sharing a link leading directly to their review form. This invitation can be sent through one of our manual invitation methods or sent outside of Trustpilot systems. The review was then written and posted through this link.

Redirected

A review that’s marked “Redirected” indicates that the business shared a business domain link on their website leading to their business profile page on Trustpilot. The review was then written and posted through this link.

Links from TrustBox widgets will not be labeled as "Redirected".

Verified

A review can be marked "Verified" for two reasons. The first indicates that the business has invited the reviewer to write the review through one of our automatic invitation methods. The second indicates that our Content Integrity Team has received documentation from the reviewer showing that they’ve had a genuine experience with the business, e.g. when the review is flagged as suspicious by our automated software.

You can read more about our Content Integrity Team’s verified reviews here.

No label

A review that’s not labelled is an organic review. This indicates that a reviewer logged into Trustpilot on their own initiative to write a review about their experience with a business. The reviewer was not invited by the business.

Product Review Labels

There are two types of product review labels: Those that indicate that the review has been collected via a Trustpilot invitation, and those imported into Trustpilot's system from another product review platform.

Only the Product Reviews MultiSource- and Product Reviews MultiSource SEO widgets are able to show these labels.

Collected from a Trustpilot invitation

This label indicates that a product review was collected from a Trustpilot invitation. You will see the label "Verified," followed by "collected by [company name]" as indicators. The screenshot below shows an example.

Product Reviews imported from another company into Trustpilot

Product reviews that are not labeled "Verified" were imported to Trustpilot and may originate from other sources. The label will simply include "Collected by [company name]." The screenshot below shows an example of what this would look like.

Unverified labels indicating that product review originated from sources other than Trustpilot

You can find more detailed information on these labels, as well as the review source, by hovering over the label with your mouse.
