By the Variask team · Updated

In short

AI engines often cite software review sites such as G2 and Capterra when people ask which tool to choose. To benefit, keep your profiles complete and current, ask real customers for honest reviews at the right moment, follow each site's review rules, and respond to reviews, including negative ones.

Key facts

  • Review sites are frequent sources in AI answers about software.
  • Recent reviews matter more than old ones.
  • Each site has rules on incentives and how you may ask for reviews.
  • Profile details such as pricing and features are read as facts.

Step by step

  1. 1Claim your profiles on the review sites your buyers use.
  2. 2Fill in every field: category, pricing, features, integrations, screenshots.
  3. 3Update pricing and features whenever they change.
  4. 4Ask customers for a review after a clear success, such as a goal reached or a renewal.
  5. 5Use each site's own review request links and follow its incentive rules.
  6. 6Reply to reviews politely, and fix the issues people raise.
  7. 7Check which review pages AI cites for your category questions.

What not to do

  • Write or buy fake reviews.
  • Offer rewards that a site does not allow.
  • Ask only your happiest customers in a way that breaks the site's rules.
  • Let old pricing stay on your profile.
