Complete all requirements and apply for a Trustpilot, G2, or Yelp verified badge or award

Earning an official verified badge or award from a major review platform — a Trustpilot verified/rated badge, a G2 award (like 'High Performer'), a Yelp distinction, or similar. These are the platform's own stamps of legitimacy.

A platform's own badge or award is authority you can't fake — it tells buyers a trusted third party vouches for you, and it visibly separates you from unverified competitors. Awards like G2's are earned largely through real reviews, so this is where a strong review profile converts into a credential you display everywhere.

How to do it

1. 1
   Pick the badge or award that fits your platform

   Identify what your key platforms offer — Trustpilot's verified company status, G2's category awards, Yelp distinctions. Choose the one your buyers recognize.
2. 2
   Understand and meet the requirements

   Most require a threshold of recent, genuine reviews and a complete verified profile. Read the criteria and use your review-getting work to close any gap — this is often just 'keep earning honest reviews.'
3. 3
   Complete verification / apply

   Finish whatever the platform requires — verification steps, claiming the profile, or an application. Follow their process exactly.
4. 4
   Display it prominently once earned

   Put the badge on your site (near CTAs and footer) and profiles. A recognized badge at the decision point is a strong, unfakeable trust signal.
