Reviewfy

How 10 companies grew with reviews

Real results published by G2, TrustRadius and Clutch, with company names withheld.

These are industry examples published by the review platforms, not Reviewfy clients. We collected them to show what a consistent review program can do, and how the best teams run one.

What they have in common

Four patterns behind the results

  • 01

    Ask continuously, not in bursts

    Three of the companies moved from occasional campaigns to always-on requests, and recency matters to rankings.

  • 02

    Time the ask to happy moments

    Renewals, onboarding milestones and user conferences produced the strongest response.

The case studies

  • Industry example Case 01

    Document automation SaaS company

    500%+

    increase in G2-influenced pipeline year over year

    G2-influenced pipeline up 500%+ after an always-on review program

    Challenge
    Reviews were spread across several platforms and arrived in bursts of about 100 a quarter from occasional campaigns, so advocacy was hard to tie to revenue.
    What they did
    The team matched platforms against pipeline data, moved most of its budget to G2 and switched to always-on review requests timed to positive moments such as renewals.

    35%

    “G2 drove over 20 times the pipeline. People were using G2 as their initial research touchpoint. So we doubled down.”

    Education software provider

    312

    verified G2 reviews collected at one event

    From #41 to #1 on G2’s best education software list

    Challenge
    Aging reviews were costing the product badges and ranking, and email and in-app requests were not reaching a busy audience.
    What they did
    The company ran a G2 review booth at its annual user conference, with a sticker and a $10 gift card for reviewing, then reused the fresh reviews in marketing and sales.
