Outsourcing Trustpilot Reviews: Why, How, and What It Costs

Trustpilot is one of the most important review platforms for online businesses. But responding to all those reviews takes time. Is outsourcing worth it? We break it down.

Why Trustpilot matters

With over 120 million reviews and 50 million monthly visitors, Trustpilot is a powerhouse in the e-commerce world. Your TrustScore directly influences purchasing decisions – research shows that 89% of consumers read reviews before buying online.

The impact of responding

Businesses that respond to reviews see significant benefits:

  • Higher average TrustScore (responding shows you care)
  • Improved customer retention rates
  • Better SEO through fresh, relevant content
  • Opportunity to address concerns publicly

Why outsource?

Outsourcing makes sense when:

  • You receive more than 15-20 reviews per month
  • You lack time or staff to respond consistently
  • Quality and tone consistency are important
  • You want to respond in multiple languages

What does it cost?

The market offers various options:

  • Virtual assistants: €15-30/hour (variable quality)
  • Marketing agencies: €200-500/month (often part of larger packages)
  • Specialized services like ReplyVo: €29-149/month (focused on reviews)

What to look for in a provider

  1. Native language support: Responses should feel natural
  2. Customizable tone: Match your brand voice
  3. Quick turnaround: 24-48 hours maximum
  4. Negative review handling: Experienced approach to criticism
  5. Transparent pricing: No hidden costs

ROI calculation

Let's do the math for a business with 30 reviews/month:

  • Time spent (DIY): 30 × 10 min = 5 hours
  • Your hourly rate: €50
  • Cost of doing it yourself: €250/month
  • Cost of outsourcing: €59/month (ReplyVo Business)
  • Monthly savings: €191
