How we work
Verified Reviews is committed to authenticity and transparency. In order to provide a transparent service that collects, moderates and publishes authentic reviews, our software solution is a monthly subscription based on the number of orders placed on a merchant's website.
The merchants using our services have access to a platform. After subscribing, they can automatically send review requests to their customers and then respond to the collected feedback.
Our software solution offers more than just the collection of customer reviews. Our partners benefit from several marketing channels that improve their visibility and analyse customer feedback to improve internal processes and purchasing experiences.
Verified Reviews, a transparent & impartial trusted third party service
Verified Reviews therefore enables a company to identify its strengths and weaknesses, capitalising on the former and correcting the latter. Although this service is paid for by the brands, we have no obligation to obtain any specific amount of positive or negative reviews. We take a neutral stance on reviews. No company may request postponing the publication of a review or its removal.
All the rules that must be followed (both by Verified Reviews and by merchants) are defined in the ISO 20488 standard.

Authenticity
Transparency
Impartiality
Meet some of the Verified Reviews team members
Our mission is to ensure the authenticity of reviews for consumers and to help merchants improve their services.
Hi, my name is Gregor Kendrick and I have been working on the Verified Reviews moderation team since 2020.
One of my daily tasks is to review the moderation of reviews to make sure that this process is conducted properly. Therefore, i am constantly in touch with our moderators for different markets and in multiple languages. In addiction, I respond to inquiries from our clients as well as consumers.
For our clients, I organize trainings to explain our platform as well as to give recommendations on how to deal with reviews, e.g. that every feedback, positive or negative, is important and deserves to be treated transparently and impartially.
What is the
ISO 20488 standard?
At a time when freedom of expression reigns online, you may ask yourself: "What is the legal framework for customer reviews on the Internet?”
In 2014, AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation, the French member of the International Organization for Standardization) published the world's first standard to regulate online reviews: the NF Z74-501 standard.
This standard was then adopted by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and became the first global standard for the collection, moderation and publication of reviews: ISO 20488.
In order to monitor the collection, moderation and publication of online reviews, three steps must be closely followed:
Step 1
Collection of reviews
Step 2
Moderation
Step 3
Publication of reviews
Moderation
of reviews
All reviews go through a pretermined moderation period before being published. We check if the content complies with our Terms of Service (TOS) based on the conditions of publication defined by the 20488 standard.
This period makes it possible to identify reviews that are not publishable (reviews containing insults, personal data, defamation, random characters, etc.) and to let merchants contact you in order to settle the dispute or offer an explanation.
For your information, our reviews are subject to the ISO 20488 standard, which establishes the processes of collecting, moderating and publishing online customer reviews. The moderation period is required by this standard.
If your review complies with our TOS, it will be validated by our system, and the review will be published.
If your review does not comply with our TOS, it will be refused. You will then be notified of the refusal reason by email, and you will have the opportunity to write a second one in accordance with our TOS.
In order to ensure that your review is published, here are some basic guidelines to follow:
Tips for writing your review
Inappropriate, offensive, racist or defamatory comments will not be accepted
Feel free to provide some context to explain the facts!
Your feedback should only relate to your experience with the company and should not mention any competitors.
We distinguish reviews of purchased products and from reviews about the shopping experience. Don't worry, this process is transparent and you will be guided through the submission of your review.
In order to ensure your anonymity, we ask that you do not include your last name, contact details or any other identifying information in your review.
All reviews are kept by Verified Reviews for 18 months. After this period, they become completely anonymised. You may, within 12 months after filling your review, request to change it.Once this period has passed, you can only request its withdrawal.
