For consumers, this makes it difficult to form an opinion about a given product or service and make the right purchase, especially when all the alternatives promise to deliver the same results. This is why many people are turning to online customer reviews to find information about the quality, level of service, cost-performance ratio, and other details about a host of products and services. If other customers think it's good, then it probably is. Consumers are using the opinions, ratings, feedback, and reviews posted online by impartial customers to make informed purchase decisions.\r\nBut customer review platforms don't just exist to help customers find out if a product or service is up to their standards. They also allow companies and service providers to leverage customer reviews to generate trust and gain insight into the quality of what they do and how satisfied their customers are. Qualitative feedback from customers sheds light on the strengths and weakness of a business and reveals opportunities to optimize, increase customer satisfaction, and bring in new business. And for service providers, customer reviews are marketing gold: they contribute to your online reputation and generate a sense of trust and authenticity among potential customers.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Customer review platform usage in the digital age</span>\r\nThanks to the Internet, our society and the ways in which we communicate have undergone massive changes over the course of the last 20 years. While product recommendations used to be limited in the past to simple word of mouth marketing among friends and acquaintances, reviews and impartial promotions are published online to customer review platforms for all to find and read today.\r\nStudies have shown than 88% of consumers today trust online reviews just as much as personal recommendations. Around 89% even seek second opinions on recommendations provided by friends and acquaintances by checking ratings and reviews on customer review websites. Online customer review platforms are now seen by most consumers as a source of trusted information when it comes to products and services.\r\nCiao.de was among the first platforms in Germany to offer customer recommendations, personal experience reports, and ratings on products and services. The company doesn’t exist anymore but other platforms have followed in their footsteps. Once a niche industry, it has taken on completely new dimensions, and the number of customer review websites and platforms is increasing all the time. Reviews were originally limited to products, but have branched out to include ratings of doctors, teachers, financial service providers, hair stylists, coaches, estate agents, restaurants, hotels, and more. Customer review websites now make customer feedback on just about any product or service available to online consumers. Most of these platforms specialize in products or services for specific industries or e-commerce, whereas websites provide aggregated reviews and ratings from different platforms to make it easier for consumers to compare vendors and service providers based on the experience of other customers.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon-review-platform.png","alias":"review-platform"}},"branches":"Information Technology","companySizes":"101 to 500 Employees","companyUrl":"https://www.g2crowd.com/","countryCodes":["USA"],"certifications":[],"isSeller":true,"isSupplier":true,"isVendor":false,"presenterCodeLng":"","seo":{"title":"G2 Crowd","keywords":"","description":"G2 Crowd is a peer-to-peer, business solutions review platform headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

Reviews were originally limited to products, but have branched out to include ratings of doctors, teachers, financial service providers, hair stylists, coaches, estate agents, restaurants, hotels, and more. Customer review websites now make customer feedback on just about any product or service available to online consumers. Most of these platforms specialize in products or services for specific industries or e-commerce, whereas websites provide aggregated reviews and ratings from different platforms to make it easier for consumers to compare vendors and service providers based on the experience of other customers.","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/icon-review-platform.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]}],"partnershipProgramme":null}},"aliases":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"implementations":{"implementationsByAlias":{},"aliases":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"agreements":{"agreementById":{},"ids":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"comparison":{"loading":false,"error":false,"templatesById":{},"comparisonByTemplateId":{},"products":[],"selectedTemplateId":null},"presentation":{"type":null,"company":{},"products":[],"partners":[],"formData":{},"dataLoading":false,"dataError":false,"loading":false,"error":false},"catalogsGlobal":{"subMenuItemTitle":""}}
