Syndication Only for Brands
This section describes the Syndication Only use case for Brands that wish to syndicate their content to the PowerReviews retailer network.
Capabilities
PwR Syndication Only enables Client to share its user-generated content (UGC) with PowerReviews to syndicate across the PowerReviews syndication network.
Key Features:
- PwR Syndication Only enables Client to extend the reach of its consumer reviews by allowing for the distribution of user-generated content to third-party retailers and other online channels where potential end users may be researching products or making purchasing decisions.
- Expanded Reach: By syndicating review content, the Client can increase the impact
of a single review or piece of content. This ensures maximum sales lift, even across
retailer sites.
- Customization and Control: Client has control over the destinations (i.e. retailers)
where their reviews are displayed. This can ensure content is only shared to
authorized resellers.

- Following the initial implementation, clients can provide PowerReviews with up to four additional uploads of new content annually, unless otherwise specified in their sales order. These four uploads are distinct from, and do not include, any historical uploads, which are a one-time service used during implementation. This new content must not be older than the most recent review previously provided. For instance, if you submit reviews today, any subsequent reviews provided in three months cannot be older than those submitted today. Regardless of whether you use the standard four uploads or have purchased additional uploads, the same rules apply to content age.
- To submit your additional reviews post-implementation, clients must reach out to pwrsyndication@1worldsync.atlassian.net. The total number of reviews submitted annually, across all uploads, must not exceed the “annual content volume” stated in your sales order. If your first file reaches your annual content volume (e.g., 1,000 reviews for a 1,000 volume limit), you will have forfeited your remaining uploads for that year. Clients utilizing an approved, automated process may upload content daily to their PowerReviews provided SFTP if they wish.
