La confiance se dégrade à tous les niveaux de notre société. La confiance dans les médias, les institutions, les entreprises, les marques. L’un des espaces qui peut être reconstruit dans ce sens est Internet. 

Peter

La confiance est rompue.

La confiance se dégrade à tous les niveaux de notre société. La confiance dans les médias, les institutions, les entreprises, les marques. Face à ce bouleversement qui se déroule juste sous nos yeux, nous devons agir. L’un des espaces qui peut être reconstruit dans ce sens est Internet. 
Internet est une plateforme fondamentalement dédiée au progrès, à la collaboration et au changement positif. Mais il s’est également transformé en outil de division et de défiance.

Reconquérir la confiance perdue sous toutes ses formes est l’enjeu déterminant de notre époque.

En tant que bâtisseurs d’une technologie, et en particulier d’une technologie « sociale » au service de l’expression des points de vue, nous devons assumer les défis qui sont propres à notre activité. Ce qui signifie être plus proactif dans la protection et la promotion de la confiance en ligne.

Les avis clients pourraient devenir la prochaine victime de cette vague de défiance qui a contaminé d’autres sphères d'Internet : si nous permettons à la censure, la manipulation et les faux avis d’étouffer la voix des consommateurs, nous pourrions anéantir la confiance dans les avis en ligne. Et comme il s’agit de aujourd’hui la deuxième source d'information des consommateurs (après la famille et les amis, mais bien avant la publicité), le prix à payer sera énorme.

Mais nous pouvons éviter d’en arriver là.

J'ai fondé Trustpilot en 2007 pour permettre aux entreprises et aux consommateurs de gagner en confiance ensemble. Comment ? En leur permettant de partager des avis authentiques et d’y répondre dans un espace public transparent, gratuit et ouvert à tous, sans censure ni manipulation. 90 millions d'avis sur plus de 400 000 sites et entreprises plus tard, mon objectif reste le même.

Partout où l’inverse se produit, lorsque les consommateurs sont soigneusement présélectionnés pour partager leur expérience et que seule la meilleure de ces expériences est publiée - comme cela arrive aujourd'hui sur de nombreuses plateformes d’avis - la confiance se dégrade avec le temps, aliénant les consommateurs et les entreprises.

Comme pour toutes les formes de liberté d'expression, il faut définir des garde-fous. Les activités illégales et indécentes, les escroqueries, les contrefaçons ne devraient pas être autorisées et, à vrai dire, doivent être radicalement éliminées. C’est un domaine sur lequel chaque site d’avis peut et doit faire mieux, nous y compris.

Je reconnais également qu'à mesure que la menace de tromperie augmente, les outils permettant de traquer les fraudeurs - qu'il s'agisse de petites infractions ou d’abus généralisés - doivent également se perfectionner. J'accepte et je relève ce défi.

L'outil à la fois le plus simple et le plus puissant de notre arsenal est peut-être le suivant : la mise en lumière systématique de toute forme d’abus en matière d’avis, via une plus grande transparence sur le comportement des utilisateurs sur notre plateforme. C'est là que nous pouvons et allons faire beaucoup plus.

__1. Nous conservons les avis signalés en ligne__
Toute entreprise ou consommateur a la possibilité de signaler un avis qui lui semble frauduleux ou en désaccord avec les règles de la plateforme. Tant que notre enquête de contenu sera en cours, ces avis resteront en ligne car, dans le cas contraire, les consommateurs nous ont rapporté qu’ils se sentaient censurés. Le contenu dit « illégal » sera la seule exception à cette règle.

__2. Nous ne partageons plus les avis des entreprises frauduleuses avec les moteurs de recherche__
Cela signifie que les étoiles Trustpilot n'apparaîtront plus dans les moteurs de recherche des entreprises qui affichent une alerte aux consommateurs sur leur page.

__3. Nous utilisons les dernières technologies en matière de détection des fraudes__
De nouvelles technologies de pointe vont nous permettre d’identifier plus facilement la source des faux avis, de leurs auteurs et des fraudes. 

__4. Nous consolidons le système d’« alerte aux consommateurs »__
Lorsqu'une entreprise essaye de déjouer les règles de la plateforme, les consommateurs en seront informés grâce à une procédure d’alerte publique plus claire et plus rapide.

__5. Nous doublons les ressources de notre équipe Content Integrity__
Nos analystes ont développé une technologie de pointe pour tracer et supprimer les faux avis et les pratiques frauduleuses. Ils travaillent en collaboration avec des enquêteurs et des agents dédiés à l’intégrité du contenu. Nous doublerons les ressources financières et humaines sur ces postes clés.

__6. Nous renforçons la transparence sur les pages de profil des entreprises__
Pour compléter les informations que nous partageons déjà, nous fournissons des données supplémentaires aux consommateurs afin de leur montrer comment chaque entreprise invite ses clients à laisser un avis et de quelle manière elle utilise notre plateforme. 

__7. Nous interdisons l'utilisation d’incitatifs__
Bien que la plupart des entreprises utilisent les incitatifs de manière équitable, nous reconnaissons que le recours à ces derniers peut être considéré comme un moyen d'orienter les auteurs d’avis dans une direction positive. 

Il ne s’agit pas d’une liste exhaustive. Maintenir la confiance et tenir les fraudeurs à distance est un défi permanent. En 2019 par exemple, nous avons supprimé des millions de faux avis, publié un avertissement public aux consommateurs sur 489 profils d'entreprises et éclairé les utilisateurs en montrant comment chaque entreprise invite ses clients à laisser un avis et signale les avis. Mais nous ne devons pas nous arrêter là - et c'est la promesse que je fais aujourd'hui.

Trustpilot debuts on the London Stock Exchange

Trustpilot lists on the London Stock Exchange

We’re excited to announce that Trustpilot has listed on the London Stock Exchange, marking an incredible milestone in our history and the beginning of a new chapter in our story. 

Trustpilot was founded with a simple vision in mind: to create an independent currency of trust. 

We wanted to empower consumers to make confident, informed purchasing decisions — while providing businesses with the tools to engage with their customers and demonstrate the quality of their services to build trust. 

Since 2007, consumers in over 200 countries and territories have shared over 120 million experiences for more than 529,000 websites, helping others by sharing those experiences, and proving the intrinsic value of trust.

So today, we’re very excited to announce that [Trustpilot has listed on the London Stock Exchange](https://www.londonstockexchange.com/discover/news-and-insights/london-stock-exchange-welcomes-truspilot-premium-segment-main-market), marking an incredible milestone in our history and the beginning of a new chapter in our story.

It’s another step in our vision towards creating an independent currency of trust. On a platform that is free to use, open to everybody, and built on transparency. 

We want to thank everyone who has shared their experiences on Trustpilot, listened to that feedback, and believed in our mission. We share this incredible achievement with *you*. 

The bar is never set at Trustpilot and we’re more than ready to start the next chapter of our journey together!

With the power of your customers’ voices, you can get closer to consumers, and win new business. We want to make it even easier for our business users to feature their reviews in email campaigns. Klaviyo was the obvious choice for our integration.

Like every marketing channel, email performs better when it proves the business is trusted by consumers. With the power of your existing customers’ voices, you can get closer to consumers, and win new customers.

This is why we wanted to make it even easier for our business users to feature their reviews in email campaigns. As one of the most popular email service providers in the fast-growing eCommerce sector, Klaviyo was the obvious choice for our integration. 

## Here’s how it works

The integration is easy to use. After connecting your accounts, customize the Trustpilot widget for Klaviyo newsletters. Select the review type (service or product), star-rating threshold, and keyword content that you want to display in newsletters. Drop this widget into your Klaviyo newsletters, and send. Any time email recipients open the email, they’ll see the most recent reviews that match your settings, as well as your current TrustScore.


Klaviyo Trustpilot integration

## Using the integration for social proof in email marketing

Review content in email campaigns can make a meaningful difference at critical points of the customer journey. In fact, 82% of consumers report that [ratings and reviews in email marketing can make them more likely to make a purchase](https://business.trustpilot.com/guides-reports/build-trusted-brand/why-and-how-social-proof-influences-consumers).

We tell our business users to add reviews to welcome campaigns to grow trust at the beginning of the customer journey, in cart abandonment emails to bring them closer to the sale, and in winback campaigns to extend LTV. Timely promotional newsletters can also benefit from the increased conversion that reviews bring.

Our trust promise

Our trust promise - Trustpilot, June 2020

Trust is broken. 

It’s plain to see what declining trust in news media, public bodies, brands and each other is doing to our societies. Societal upheaval is happening in front of our eyes and one place that needs fixing (though certainly not the only one) is the Internet.

The Internet is supposed to be a platform for progress, bringing us closer together and unlocking collaboration and positive change. And it is. But it has also become a tool for dividing us and destroying trust and our relationships, too. 

Rediscovering that lost trust in all its guises is a defining issue of our times.  

As the builders of technology, and particularly ‘social’ technology that amplifies voices and viewpoints, we have to own the challenges within our realm - not duck it - which means being more proactive in protecting and promoting trust. 

Consumer reviews could become the next victim of the forces of distrust that have plagued other parts of the Internet. If we allow censorship, manipulation and fakes to stifle authentic consumer voices and cloud the truth, trust could be crushed. As reviews are the second most trusted source of consumer information (after family and friends and well ahead of advertising) that would be a huge price to pay.  

It’s not inevitable, however. 

I founded Trustpilot in 2007 to enable companies and consumers to earn trust together. How? By sharing and responding to honest feedback in a transparent public space that’s free and open to all with nothing censored or hidden. More than 90 million reviews of 400,000 sites and companies later, that’s still our guiding light. 

Where the inverse is true and consumers are carefully pre-selected to share their experience and the best of those experiences selectively published - as happens today in many feedback platforms - trust erodes over time, alienating consumers and businesses alike.

As with all forms of free speech, there must be guardrails. Illegal, obscene, fake or scam shouldn’t be allowed and, in fact, must be actively weeded out. This is an area where every review site can and must do better, including us. 

I also recognise that as the threat of deception has risen, the tools for holding abusers to account - whether it’s small infringements or systemic cheating - need to improve too. I fully accept and own that challenge. 

Perhaps the most powerful yet simple tool in our armoury is this: to shine a brighter light on review abuse through greater transparency about how all users behave on our platform.  This is where we can and will do much more. 

So I’m committing to making seven fundamental changes to the Trustpilot platform starting now until Christmas. This is my Trust Promise.

- __We’re keeping ‘flagged’ reviews online__

Any company or consumer can flag a review they believe to be fake or breaks our platform rules. Going forward those reviews will remain online while we investigate. Consumers have told us they can feel censored otherwise. Illegal content will be the only exception.


- __We’re not sharing reviews of companies that breach our guidelines with search engines__

That means the Trustpilot stars will no longer appear in search engine results for companies who have had an alert put on their page. 

- __We’re pioneering a new ‘fraud fingerprint’__

New cutting edge technologies will enhance our ability to pinpoint the source of fake reviews, reviewers and scams. 


- __We’re strengthening our ‘consumer alert’ system__

When we catch a company trying to game the system, we’ll let consumers know via a clearer and faster system of public alerts. 


- __We’re doubling our Content Integrity and Data Science teams__

We use advanced technology built by skilled data scientists to weed out fakes and abuse. We supplement that with highly trained content integrity agents and fraud investigators. We’re doubling the people and investment in these areas. 

- __We’re adding even more transparency to company pages__ 

On top of the extensive data we already share, we’re adding new data points to help consumers see exactly how every company invites reviews and uses our platform. 

- __We’ll no longer allow review incentives__ 

Despite most companies using incentives in the right way to get more feedback, there’s growing concern that any incentive could sway sentiment in a more positive direction. 

This is not an exhaustive list. Earning trust and keeping abusers at bay is a permanent task. In the past year alone, for example, we’ve removed millions of fake reviews, put a public consumer warning on 489 company profiles and led the world by showing how every company invites and flags reviews. But we need to do more - and that’s the promise I’m making today.

Trustpilot update

Trustpilot update header image with orange bar

Corona Virus (COVID-19) - At Trustpilot, we are doing our small part to fight the spread of COVID-19 and keeping our teams healthy by temporarily closing all of our physical offices as of last week

We’ve received some questions from our customers and partners about our business and service continuity during this time, and we’re happy to report that the Trustpilot tools and resources that you use to build trust every day will remain available to you. We have well-practiced plans in place with our supply chain partners to make sure that’s the case in all reasonable scenarios. 

You can find more information below, and we will continue to update this blog post as necessary.

### Are Trustpilot’s Support and Customer Success teams available during this time?

Absolutely. To ensure the health and safety of our employees and communities, all Trustpilot employees have transitioned to working remotely, and our internal IT teams are dedicated to ensuring they’re equipped with the tools and systems they need to continue to provide world-class service to our customers. You can continue to use the same phone numbers and email addresses you’ve always used for your Trustpilot contacts, and our Support team continues to be available via [our support site](https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).

### What provisions have been made to deal with COVID-19 for you and your supply chain?

We're cloud-based, so remote working and access to necessary systems to provide the same level of services all our customers are used to, is well-practiced and robust. We are working with our cloud computing and systems partners - as we do as part of normal business operations - to ensure the integrity and availability of our platform. This includes all the systems our commercial teams need to continue to support customers throughout. 

### How does your business continuity plan deal with COVID-19 and how prepared are you now for increased outbreak?

Our business continuity plan in any situation prioritizes safety, first and foremost. Now we've moved to remote working, we can dedicate our company resources to ensuring our service to you continues as normal. We’ve prepared our people and given them all of the connectivity and tools they need to continue delivering great advice, service and support to you, even in the event of an escalation of the current situation, wherever they’re working from. 

### How and when do you expect the COVID-19 situation to affect your services? 

It's not necessarily a case of 'how and when' Coronavirus will affect our services, but 'if'. An escalation would have to be severe enough to disrupt core internet infrastructure, such as degraded Google or Amazon Web Services, or direct disruption to our  key CRM software partners’ platforms, for there to be any disruption to the services we provide to our customers. Our systems and platform team work hand-in-hand with all of our technical supply chain partners to deliver our service every day - this situation is no different. We have been given every reassurance about the resilience of these core services that we rely on and have implemented additional alerting and monitoring to our core services to ensure that we can proactively invoke mitigating actions. In the event that we have any indication otherwise, or the situation does escalate and have a direct impact on our supply chain and so us, we'll keep you updated.

Paypal-Trustpilot-announcement

You already know PayPal: the open digital payments platform democratizing financial services and empowering businesses to not only join, but also thrive in the global economy. 

They’ve uncovered a genius way to use customer reviews to help improve experiences for everyone.

The team at PayPal gets tons of merchant applications from businesses hoping to use their various tools and services, from accepting payments to managing orders. An in-house compliance team at PayPal thoroughly vets each application by examining the business’ overall health.

Via Trustpilot’s API, PayPal will look at data from millions of customer ratings and reviews as part of its evaluation and validation process for new business merchants applying to use their services. 


Trustpilot ratings and review data offers PayPal another tool to evaluate merchant applications, and gives officers tangible, transparent data about something that’s often hard to quantify: honest customer experiences.

Over 1 million businesses have created videos with Promo, probably because (once more for the people in the back) it’s so easy to use.

It only took a minute to make this announcement video:

Segment+Trustpilot integration

Segment integration for Trustpilot

### What’s Segment?

Segment is a platform for your customer data. It gives you an easy way to collect, clean, and control your customer data. So instead of installing every tool into your website separately, you can use Segment to combine your customer data and send it to any tool for data warehousing, analytics, or marketing - including Trustpilot.

### What’s in it for me?

Nearly 95% of shoppers read online reviews before making a purchase ([Spiegel Research Center, 2017](http://spiegel.medill.northwestern.edu/online-reviews/)), but for companies, getting those reviews is the hard part. 

That’s where Trustpilot comes in.

We tap into your customer’s desire to share their experience, and make it easy for your customers to write reviews for your business. The easier it is for people to write a review, the more reviews you’ll receive.  

Our review invitation tools give your business:

- __Automation:__ Work smarter, not harder. Trustpilot automatically triggers an email to your customers after every purchase so you’ll continually have up-to-date reviews of your business.

- __Reminders:__ Sometimes we all forget. Email reminders give a friendly bump to your email invitation and generate an additional 33% more reviews for your business.

- __Verified Reviews:__ Get that Google Seller Rating. Reviews that come through Trustpilot review collection tools are verified, and count toward your Google Seller Rating.  Seller Ratings generate stars for your Google Ads, and according to Google’s blog, can increase click-through-rates by 10% on average.


### Do I need a developer?

Nope. It’s plug-and-play.

Take a look:



trustpilot settings segment integration

Trustpilot already has integrations for most eCommerce platforms, but if you don’t have a traditional eCommerce business, or if you have a custom-built site, then Segment makes getting up and running with Trustpilot a snap.

### How do I get started?

If you’re already using Segment,  then you’re just minutes away from getting more Trustpilot reviews. 

Simply [sign in to Segment](https://app.segment.com/login), find ‘Trustpilot integration’, and sync your website.

trustpilot funding announcement

trustpilot lets upgrade the world

Digital platforms — like Trustpilot — are at the heart of both of these societal transformations and what’s clear, now more than ever, is that our model is right. 

Helping consumers and companies successfully navigate these new territories requires fresh thinking, strong values and total conviction. [With the new funding we just secured](http://press.trustpilot.com/news/2019/3/5/trustpilot-closes-55-million-series-e-funding-round-led-by-sunley-house-capital-management), we’ll be doubling down on openness, collaboration and transparency. 
 
At times, it feels like there's been an arms race in the business sphere to get to the perfect score on review platforms. But when everyone on your platform has five stars and consumers wake up and say ‘hey, that can't be right can it?’, where do you go from there?
 
What we know — and will continue to invest in — is that it's not how many stars you have but the journey you take to get those stars that matters most. Others haven't realized this yet and by the time they do it may be too late. 

The shift we've been making is from incentivizing and rewarding good reviews to incentivizing and rewarding good behavior. We’re not trying to catch anyone out, especially not the businesses who are genuinely looking to improve and do the right thing by their customers. We're showing them that the benefits of transparency are greater and longer lasting.  

We’ve already introduced new transparency tools like [Transparent Flagging](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47132072) and there’s much more to come. Our mission made us one of the top 1% of websites worldwide with more than 58 million reviews of over 270,000 company domains. 
 
We’ve got plenty of work ahead of us. We’re by no means perfect. And yes, now and then you’ll find someone who’s trying to game the system and manages to publish a fake review on our platform. But with the very best processes, people and technology we have in place everyone can use Trustpilot with confidence. And with the new funding, we’ll continue to work towards our mission to upgrade the world.
