- What it is / what it’s for: Verify Trusted is the review aggregation service that stores and serves your reviews. The plugin sends your configured company domain to the API to discover your widget, and loads a widget script (

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Verify Trusted account?
Yes. Create one at https://www.verifytrusted.com/. The plugin displays reviews collated by Verify Trusted; it does not collect reviews itself.
It says “No company found for domain”
Enter the exact domain registered with your review sources. Try with and without www., and if your account is split by branch, include the branch path (e.g. example.com/branches/london).
My reviews look out of date
The company profile is cached for four hours. Use Reset Company Data on the settings page and re-save to refresh immediately.
Can I style the widget or render reviews myself?
Widget styling is configured in your Verify Trusted dashboard. On your site you can style the .verify-trusted-widget container, and developers can fetch the raw review data to build custom markup. See the plugin documentation for details.
