Verified reviews. Real trust.
Every review on VerdictPlus is tied to a real account and a real interaction. Here's exactly how it works for the people deciding, and the businesses earning their trust.
Step 1
Search or browse
Look up any business by name, or explore 27 categories to discover somewhere new. Results are ranked by TrustScore — not by who paid the most.
Try searching for
"bakery near me" · "roofing" · "SaaS CRM"
Step 2
Read verified reviews
Every review is tied to a real, logged-in account. Filter by star rating, sentiment, recency, or how helpful others found it. See verified-purchase badges on reviews that came from a confirmed transaction.
"Fast delivery, exactly as described."
"Support resolved my issue in under an hour."
Step 3
Check how the business responds
Public replies reveal more than stars ever will. See whether an owner listens, how fast they respond, and how they handle criticism — it's often the strongest trust signal on the page.

How we make sure reviews are real.
Every review passes through a three-layer system before it goes live. It's why 4.6M+ reviews on VerdictPlus hold up to scrutiny.
1. Real accounts only
Reviewers must have a verified account. Guest and anonymous reviews aren't accepted — ever.
2. Transaction signals
Where possible, reviews are matched to a real transaction. Verified-purchase reviews carry a distinct badge.
3. Fraud screening
Our system flags review bombing, incentivised reviews, duplicates, and coordinated attacks — before they publish.
Trust that actually means something.
Most review platforms sell placement to businesses. We don't. Here's what that means in practice.
| Feature | VerdictPlus | Typical review sites |
|---|---|---|
| Reviews tied to real accounts | Varies | |
| Paid ranking manipulation | Common | |
| Businesses can reply publicly | ||
| Reported reviews reviewed by humans | Rarely | |
| Free business profile | Paywalled |
A single number that's hard to game.
Star ratings are easy to inflate. TrustScore isn't. It blends five signals that together reveal whether a business is genuinely worth trusting.
Average rating — weighted by recency
Volume & consistency of reviews
Owner response rate & speed
Verified-purchase review ratio
Dispute resolution history

Common questions.
The details people ask about most.
Can a business delete a negative review?
No. Businesses can flag reviews that violate our content policy (spam, hate speech, personal information), but they can't remove reviews simply because they're negative. Every flag is reviewed by a human.
Do businesses pay to rank higher?
Never. Ranking is based on TrustScore — a blend of rating, response rate, verified purchases, and dispute history. Paid plans unlock tools for the business, not better placement in search.
What happens if someone posts a fake review?
Our screening catches most fakes before publishing. If one slips through, flag it and a human reviews it within 48 hours. Confirmed fakes are removed and repeat offenders are banned.
Is VerdictPlus really free for businesses?
Yes. Claiming your profile, replying to reviews, and accessing core analytics is free forever. Paid plans add scale, widgets, AI summaries, and priority support.
