Product and service reviews
On-site third-party validation increases confidence, builds instant trust and pushes consumers to purchase
Shorten decision time
When the consumer does then click onto the site, having actual review content to back up that star rating can add some serious value, and build even further confidence in their buying decision with you
All service reviews - about the experience of buying from you, not the particular product
Typical page - picture, price, description, visible reviews about particular product, not business or experience
Reviews useful inform consumers of product - confident buying decision

Real comments from real people
Helping consumers connect with other happy customers who’ve used and liked the products
80% of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations
48% will visit a website after reading positive reviews on social platformsSource stats: https://www.vendasta.com/blog/50-stats-you-need-to-know-about-online-reviews
60% of consumers have higher expectations for customer service now than they did just one year ago. Proving that your business’s customer service is good at every point of the customer journey gives your business more chances to convert consumers into customers
84% of consumers do not trust advertisements anymore. Engaging with consumers takes more time than ever before. It’s getting harder for retailers to convert visitors into customers. Growing lack of trust = consumers are no longer interested in brands that try to sell hard. Today’s shoppers are looking for brands that put their customers first and create communities of brand advocates by rewarding loyalty.

1/Google shopping ads
Staples was able to leverage their customer reviews in paid search via the Google Seller Ratings ad extension. These gold stars not only make their ads stand out for both branded and non-branded search terms, they also convey trust driving more people to click on their ad.
2/Onsite
As Staples is a household name, prospective customers often come directly to their site to do research before purchasing. Staples displays their third-party verified reviews on their homepage to boost consumer confidence in Staples, whether buying online or in-store.
3/Organic search
By amassing reviews on Staples’ dedicated Trustpilot pages, these pages started to rank in organic search for keywords like “Staples reviews” or “Staples UK” - terms often searched by prospective customers when considering buying from Staples.
4/Facebook
To boost their social media presence, Staples integrated Trustpilot reviews on their Facebook page, another common channel that prospective customers reference before purchasing.
5/Email marketing
Email is another important marketing channel for Staples, driving traffic to their site and influencing purchases. To optimize their email marketing and show transparency, Staples links to their Trustpilot page in the bottom of all marketing emails with the text “See what our customers are saying”.
