The problem

The current review culture is broken.

Your customers compare options, read reviews, and look for signs of who they can trust. Too often they get a distorted picture.

Extremes dominate

The extremes of experience take the stage — the balanced experience of the silent majority is left in the dark.

Fake reviews are left and bought

Competitor harassment and artificial reputation polishing are common on many platforms.

Old bad reviews keep haunting

A mistake made years ago still shows in the profile, even if the company has since significantly improved.

Visibility is sold

Advertising budgets and paid placements distort competition — earned reputation falls behind.

We want to change the distorted culture and restore trust between customers and businesses.

The solution

How Trustmary Directory stands out

Trustmary Directory is a place where service providers show their strengths through customer experience and customers compare based on genuine experiences.

Verified data

Reviews and feedback come from real customers — including the ones not published elsewhere.

Trustmary Score

One number that describes the whole picture — not just a star average.

Visibility, not for sale

Rankings are based on customer experience — not advertising budget.

Recency weighting

Score emphasizes the most recent situation — not old individual poor experiences.

Manifesto principles

A business has rights.

Our work is based on a manifesto: the customer has the right to truthful and transparent information — and the business has the right to be fairly reviewed.

01 · Mistakes

Mistakes can be corrected

Score emphasizes fresh data. You do not need to suffer from individual bad reviews from history — new effort shows quickly.

02 · Fairness

Fair evaluation

The extremes of reviews do not alone define you. We bring feedback alongside and form a picture from broader data.

03 · Improvement

Improve customer experience

Trustmary provides the tools to measure, analyze, lead, and continuously improve customer experience — you do not stay on the sidelines.

04 · Strengths

Strengths shown — honestly

Strengths are based on objectively verifiable data. Visibility is not bought — it is earned through good customer experience.

Transparency

Why openness is an advantage

The idea that all customer feedback would be publicly visible can feel uncomfortable. But think of it this way:

01

No one expects perfection

Customers know no company is flawless. They want to see how a company reacts to feedback and develops. Transparency tells them you take customer experience seriously.

02

Too perfect is not convincing

Research shows a full 5-star average does not necessarily feel trustworthy. The best range for purchase decisions is between 4.2 and 4.7 stars.

03

Silence raises more suspicion

If your customers cannot find reliable information about you, they end up on your competitor's profile. Being in the Directory tells them you have nothing to hide.

04

You do not have to carry historical baggage

Score emphasizes the most recent situation. If you have fixed problems and invested, it shows in your Score right now — an old individual mistake does not define you.

4.2 — 4.7

The optimal star average for a purchase decision. A full 5/5 is not convincing — reasonable variation builds trust.

Trustmary Score

A score that shows where you stand now.

Trustmary Score answers one question: how likely is your company to deliver a positive customer experience right now? It is based on real data, not an advertising budget.

Three areas you can influence.

The score rises when your customers are satisfied and you succeed consistently. Collecting feedback continuously does not raise it by itself, but keeps it current and visible.

01SatisfactionHow satisfied your customers are on average. Recent ratings weigh more, and feedback you collect yourself weighs twice as much as a public review.
02Success confidenceHow consistently you succeed. Poor ratings lower the score even when the average is good.
03Freshness and volumeWhether the score can be trusted right now. This area adds no points; it deducts when there are too few ratings or they have stopped coming.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What if I get negative feedback?

Negative feedback is an opportunity. When you react to it and fix the situation, Trustmary Score updates with fresh data. Your customers see a company that develops — that builds trust more effectively than a perfect star average.

Can a competitor leave a fake review about me?

In Trustmary Directory, users cannot directly write reviews — reviews are imported from various channels. If you collect feedback with Trustmary tools according to the Trustmary method, you can be sure they come from real customers.

We are not responsible for reviews imported from third-party review platforms or for any issues there may be in them.

What if a business has bad history?

A single old mistake does not distort the whole picture if the company has acted excellently afterwards. Trustmary Score is dynamic and emphasizes the most recent situation. If you have identified the problems and fixed them, it shows in Score — this also benefits a potential customer who sees what your customer experience is like right now, not a year ago.

How does this differ from collecting feedback myself and showing it on my site?

Self-presented feedback is always advertising — the customer knows it. Trustmary Directory is an independent platform where the collection process is openly documented. This makes feedback credible also to those who do not yet know you.

Additionally, the directory is a reliable source in the eyes of search engines — through it you rise more easily to the results of traditional search engines as well as mentions and recommendations in AI search.

Does better visibility cost more?

Visibility is not bought — it is earned. Your Score is based on genuine customer data, and every business has the same opportunity to stand out.

What if we have little data at the start?

The score is published once you have at least 10 ratings from the past two years, some of them recent. With little data the score stays close to the average and sharpens as ratings accumulate. Consistent feedback takes dozens of responses, not thousands.

Why can the Score disappear from my profile?

The Score describes your customer experience right now. If no new ratings arrive, the score falls, noticeably by three months, and after six months of silence it is hidden from your profile. One new rating brings it back straight away. A seasonal business's quiet season is taken into account, but a year without ratings always hides the score.

What raises the Score?

Satisfied customers and consistent success. The number of ratings does not raise the score: it is not a size ranking, and companies with under a hundred ratings score about the same on average as companies with over a thousand.

Feedback you collect yourself weighs twice as much as a public review. Satisfaction based on reviews alone carries a deduction that phases out over your first ten feedback responses. Continuous collection keeps the score current and visible.
