Announcing the 2022 TrustRadius Best Software List
Modern software buyers want the full truth—not just your organization’s polished marketing. Above anything else, they trust their peers and are turning to review sites in astounding numbers to hear from them. According to our research, 70% of buyers will use reviews, and they make it more than 70% of the way through the buying process before ever contacting a vendor. So savvy marketers are ensuring they have a presence on review sites that attract the audience they are trying to engage. They are making important product information available and discoverable to increase brand preference with buyers.
At TrustRadius, we exist for the buyer. We ensure to award all technology with positive customer sentiment so the buyer can make the best purchase for their business. For us it’s about integrity, not pay to play, which is why we’re launching our first-ever TrustRadius Best Software List to honor those products catering to the evolving market and providing end users with exceptional product and service to meet their business needs.
Buyers, marketers, and reviewers alike understand the needs of a small business and an enterprise are vastly different. TrustRadius earns 17.8 million impressions a month on category-level market-specific searches.
A Best Software List title helps you stand out in the sea of searches and competitors. When buyers narrow their search to where it matters most, this recognition is essential.
