Capabilities

The PwR Core Platform provides a comprehensive framework of capabilities designed to enable the collection, display, and distribution of authentic user-generated content. PwR Core Platform helps support the business practices related to using the power of customer feedback to build trust, drive sales, and improve their products and services.

Key Features:

  1. Review Collection: The PwR Core Platform facilitates the collection of product reviews and ratings through various channels such as email and website integrations. It provides customizable templates and scheduling options for requesting feedback from consumers after they’ve made a purchase or interacted with the product/service.
  2. Moderation and Management: The PwR Core Platform offers tools for moderating and managing incoming reviews. This includes features like automated spam detection, content moderation, and the ability to flag or filter reviews based on predefined criteria to ensure authenticity and relevance.
  3. Syndication (PwR Syndication):
    1. PwR Syndication enables Client to extend the reach of its consumer reviews by allowing for the distribution of consumer-generated content to third-party retailers and other online channels where potential end customers may be researching products or making purchasing decisions.
    2. Expanded Reach: By syndicating review content, businesses can increase the impact of a single review or piece of content. This ensures maximum sales lift, even across retailer sites.
    3. Customization and Control: Businesses have control over which review content is syndicated and where it is displayed. This can ensure your content is only shared to authorized resellers.
    4. Analytics: With PowerReviews analytics you can understand the reach of your content, and monitor performance metrics to optimize syndication efforts over time.
    5. This solution leverages product data provided by the Client. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure the product data, particularly UPC/EAN/GTIN, is clean and accurate to enable auto-matching. If manual matching is necessary due to unavailable data, the Client agrees to provide the Company with a mapping file containing their product details and relevant sender’s or receiver’s information.
  4. SEO and Rich Snippets: The PwR Core Platform helps clients optimize their review content for search engines by generating rich snippets that enhance the visibility and click-through rates of product pages in search results. This includes displaying star ratings, review counts, and other relevant information directly in search listings.
  5. Analytics and Insights: The PwR Core Platform provides analytics and reporting tools to track the performance of reviews and ratings over time. The suite includes customizable reports, report scheduling, data visualizations, and site analytics to measure the impact of ratings and reviews on conversion rates.
  6. Customization and Integration: The PwR Core Platform offers customization options to match the branding and style of Client’s websites and marketing materials. It also integrates seamlessly with e-commerce platforms, content management systems, and other third-party tools, making it easy to incorporate review functionality into existing workflows.
