How to Get More Trustpilot Reviews

AI summary: To get better Trustpilot reviews, guide customers to mention the specific service they used, name the staff member who helped, and give authentic detail. The templates below help you ethically generate high-quality, algorithm-friendly reviews that improve your visibility on Trustpilot.

Why Trustpilot reviews matter for your business

Trustpilot is the default trust layer for e-commerce and service brands across the UK, Europe and North America. Its TrustScore widgets appear in Google Shopping, paid ads and on product pages, so a strong profile compounds across every channel.

Because Trustpilot verifies reviewers and flags fakes aggressively, a high TrustScore carries unusual weight with both shoppers and AI assistants that cite Trustpilot as an authority on company reputation.

The anatomy of a high-ranking Trustpilot review

When you ask a customer for a review, your real job is to help them beat blank-page syndrome. A great Trustpilot review almost always contains these elements:

Specificity: Mentions the exact product purchased or service rendered, so the review reads as real and reinforces relevant keywords on Trustpilot.
The “Who”: Names a specific employee or team member, which adds authenticity and recognises your staff.
A verified purchase: Reviews tagged as verified (linked to a real order) rank higher on your profile and are trusted more by buyers and AI engines alike.

Steal our prompts: questions to guide your customers

Don't send a blank Trustpilot review link. Give customers two or three guiding questions to shape their response. Copy these into your follow-up message:

What specific service or product did you visit us for?
Did a specific team member make your experience exceptional?
Was there anything about ordering or delivery that stood out to you?
