# Do Trustpilot Consulting services actually help companies increase review volume and improve ratings?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hoping to get a read from people who've hired or evaluated a Trustpilot partner. Do Trustpilot consulting services actually help companies increase review volume and improve ratings, or is that something a team can do itself with the standard plan?</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Every partner page promises more reviews and a better TrustScore. What a good partner does is fix the plumbing that decides whether reviews arrive at all:</p><ul>
<li>Automated invitations tied to a real trigger (order shipped, ticket closed) instead of a monthly manual upload.</li>
<li>Enough verified reviews per country in a rolling 24 months to qualify for Google Seller Ratings, which is where the rating starts paying for itself in ad click-through.</li>
<li>A response process for negative reviews, since Trustpilot weights recent reviews more heavily and an unanswered one-star sits at the top of the profile.</li>
<li>Reviews surfaced at the conversion points that matter, not one TrustBox in the footer.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">None of that is magic.

A few that fit the outcome in the question:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/elite-sem/reviews"><strong>Elite SEM</strong></a> (now Tinuiti): A large performance agency built on paid search and shopping, so Trustpilot work tends to be about earning Seller Ratings and using review content in ads. Trade-off: enterprise scale and pricing, not a fit for a small store wanting invitation setup only.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ebusiness-guru/reviews"><strong>eBusiness Guru</strong></a>: Certified Magento developers who work with Amazon and eBay sellers building their own storefronts. The Trustpilot angle is post-fulfilment invitations wired into the store. Trade-off: Magento-centric, so Shopify or WooCommerce teams are outside its core.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/click-click-media/reviews"><strong>Click Click Media</strong></a>: An Australian Google Ads agency whose front door is a free account audit report. Trustpilot matters here for Seller Ratings on ads. Trade-off: Australia-focused, and reviews are a means to ad performance rather than the service itself.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/emma-forward/reviews"><strong>Emma Forward</strong></a>: A London e-commerce consultancy working with online retailers on strategy, audits and re-platforming, where review collection gets rebuilt as part of the platform move. Trade-off: a one-person consultancy, so capacity is limited.</li>

The strongest consulting value may be building a review collection process that keeps working after the engagement ends. Automating invitations around real customer events seems much more sustainable than periodically pushing for reviews. For teams that hired a partner, which change had the biggest lasting impact on review volume once the consultants stepped away?
