Overall Satisfaction with PowerReviews
We use PowerReviews across our global online operations to collect reviews from purchasers of our products online and in store. We also use PowerReviews' social Q&A features to solicit questions from website visitors and answer through our customer service and technical support teams. Our reviews are also syndicated out to retailers that sell our products.
- Their flexibility with moderation options works well for our business. We can moderate immediately, or have PowerReviews handle the first round of moderation.
- The back end reporting allows us to export and distribute review content on an automated schedule, helping our product managers get first hand feedback.
- Easy for customers to leave reviews, with some customization by product type built in and configurable for our products.
- Also relatively easy to drop visitors in to a review form for the exact product they've purchased.
- Good value compared to the other major player in the consumer review space.
- Customer support has mostly been positive but there's been a couple of instances of slow response to our service tickets or emails.
- Some challenges dialing in our product feed for the backend admin to properly title and categorize our products.
- For Q&A, helping customers see that their question has already been answered. Our support team moderates many duplicate questions.
- Product reviews are critical in our customer purchase funnel. PowerReviews gives us the tools to quickly collect and publish our customer's feedback.
- Q&A saves our customer service team time from answering the same questions from email over and over again. Hundreds of person hours annually.
- With the additional unique content on page, we've seen a positive impact on our organic search thanks to the review and q&a information.
We've stayed with PowerReviews over the years partially due to development priorities, but they offer a very good value for the product. Trustpilot has a good platform as well, but we haven't had a strong enough reason to change.
