Founded in April 2012 by Olivier Mouillet, Laurent Abisset and Tom Brami, Verified Reviews is the solution developed by Net Reviews to guarantee that customer reviews are genuine. Fake reviews published on websites are now a thing of the past. Avis Vérifiés guarantees trustworthiness. How? By collecting feedback from customers who have actually had an experience with a particular store, by enabling a dialog between company and customer during the moderation phase, and by displaying genuine customer reviews as a result of this process. In a few short years, Avis Vérifiés has established itself as the leader in customer reviews in France. With an international team of 60, Avis Vérifiés boasts a 5,000-strong client base including many major French players such as oui.sncf, SFR, Bricorama, and But.

Customer testimonials play a key role in the act of purchasing and have a big impact on the e-reputation of brands. And yet, according to an investigation conducted by France’s General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) in 2016, 35% of reviews published online are fake. To put it plainly, one out of three times someone will have left a comment about a restaurant they have never been to or rated a product they have never bought. That’s where Avis Vérifiés steps in. Avis Vérifiés is certified as compliant with the French national standard for service (NF Service). It offers a solution to gather website reviews (online shopping experience), product reviews, but also store reviews (experience in brick-and-mortar stores).

The reviews are gathered from customers who have been authenticated via a proof of purchase. * Moderation: It offers web merchants the possibility of responding to and dealing with a customer’s issue before their review is published. * Review display: All reviews are published, whether they are positive or negative. Web merchants cannot modify or delete comments. By default, reviews are displayed from most recent to oldest. **A solution that is spreading across Europe and the American markets** 6 years after its creation in 2012, Avis Vérifiés now boasts a team of 60 employees. In Europe, the Marseille-based head office is backed up by the Madrid and Berlin offices. In the United States, the development of the North and South American markets is managed from a subsidiary opened in Miami, an office in Boston. This development will now gather speed with the acquisition of Trusted Company in Brazil which positions Avis Vérifiés as the market leader in South America.
