Check how credible your business looks online in 30 seconds. Praising.ai scans your reviews and reputation signals across 20+ platforms and gives you a clear credibility score — with specific steps to improve it.
Top issue: Response rate is 12% — buyers notice unanswered reviews. Respond to more reviews to lift your score quickly.
Online credibility isn't just about having a nice website. Buyers check these six signals before they trust a business — and so does a good credibility checker.
Your average rating across Google, Yelp, and Facebook is the first thing buyers check. A score below 4.0 loses you 70% of potential customers before they even visit your site.
How many reviews you have — and when the last one was posted — tells buyers whether your business is active and trusted. A business with 5 reviews from 3 years ago appears abandoned.
Businesses that reply to reviews — especially negative ones — score 33% higher on trust. Buyers want to see that you care. Every unanswered review is a missed credibility signal.
Being present and active on multiple platforms (Google, Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot) adds legitimacy. A single platform with few reviews raises doubt — breadth builds trust.
A cluster of reviews posted on the same day, or reviews with no text, can flag your listing as suspicious to both buyers and search engines. Credibility tools check for these patterns.
Is your reputation improving or declining over time? A downward trend in ratings signals a service or quality problem that credibility checkers surface before it becomes a crisis.
Most businesses have a credibility problem they don't know about. A low score doesn't mean your business is bad — it usually means your reviews aren't keeping up with your actual quality. Praising.ai fixes that.
Enter your business name or website. Praising.ai scans 20+ platforms in seconds and returns a credibility score with a breakdown of every signal.
The audit pinpoints exactly where you're losing credibility: too few reviews, slow response time, a 3.8 rating pulling you below the trust threshold, or gaps across platforms.
Send review request emails and texts to your customers automatically. Most businesses double their review count within 60 days — the single biggest credibility lever.
