ClearlyRated helps B2B firms credibly differentiate themselves based on their service.
Build online reputation with ClearlyRated.com - an online, ratings-based directory for B2B service firms
We developed ClearlyRated.com—an online business directory—to help B2B service firms translate client (and, for staffing firms, placed talent) feedback into quantifiable, searchable information available to prospective buyers in the form of online ratings and testimonials.
ClearlyRated.com is a one-of-a-kind resource for buyers looking for information about staffing, accounting, legal, RPO, PEO, and other B2B service providers. The star ratings featured on a given profile and in search results are pulled directly from the featured firm's satisfaction survey program, which is overseen and validated by ClearlyRated, a leader in service quality research.

The research is clear. Online client ratings matter greatly to your prospects. Research shows that 86% of buyers look to online, third-party reviews as proof that the purchase they are considering will deliver the value they’re seeking.1 And prospective clients of B2B service providers report that online ratings and reviews are 2x as trustworthy as a company’s website when weighing top resources for determining the quality of a firm.2
We know that buyers of business services utilize online searches as a primary resource for vetting potential providers. Firms who are featured on ClearlyRated.com receive the benefit of validated client ratings that show up directly in the search results for their brand or firm.
As you can see from the example above, a search for "Perkins & Co" returns star ratings from sites like Glassdoor, ClearlyRated and, of course, Google—all on the first page of the firm's search results. While most firms who survey their clients with ClearlyRated experience this first page placement, it isn't always immediate or guaranteed. To help firms maximize the placement of their star ratings, we offer best practices, action steps, and a free SEO audit of your ClearlyRated Profile Page to all of our clients.
Search engines give priority to validated star ratings when determining which web pages to return on a given search. Search engine algorithms respect these validated ratings because they have been proven, over time, to be desired and relevant to searchers.
