When we’re shopping online, one of the most important tools we use to help us make purchasing decisions is authentic reviews from people like us. While price, images, dimensions, and shipping times all influence our decision making, peer reviews are the social proof we seek in our quest to find the best product.
According to a 2022 benchmark study conducted by Power Reviews, product detail pages (PDPs) with reviews get more traffic. The study looked at more than 8.8 million retailer PDPs, and found 61% of PDPs don’t have reviews, but those that have 11 or more reviews displayed see an average of 12% more page visits. Additionally, the study found that the sweet spot for product ratings is in the 4.5–4.9 band, noting that the largest gains in traffic to PDPs occur above the 4.0-star mark.
Reviews and ratings matter, and that’s why Reviews from Amazon is an important part of the shopper experience on your site.

How Reviews from Amazon benefit your ecommerce business
While third-party review features can help you collect and share reviews, they can’t replicate the same scale of high-quality reviews with unbiased ratings that are found on Amazon.com. Reviews from Amazon helps close this gap, providing shoppers with more information, such as verified purchase badging and review images provided by real customers who purchased that product.
Specifically, there are three key benefits of adding Reviews from Amazon to your site. You can:
- Give your shoppers the social proof they seek to confidently make purchases on your site—helping you increase shopper conversion.
- Boost brand credibility by offering visibility into authentic reviews from Amazon for your products that offer Buy with Prime.
- Amplify your site’s existing product reviews from Amazon.com to give shoppers more information about your products that offer Buy with Primes.
How Reviews from Amazon enhance the shopper experience on your site
Increasing conversions is one of the biggest challenges facing online brands. Shoppers are constantly bombarded with brand messages any time they tap into their social channels or open a browser. The endless choices shoppers have makes it hard for brands to stand out, let alone getting them to click the “Buy” button on a site that may be unfamiliar.
Reviews from Amazon helps address these challenges by giving shoppers insights into peer reviews that they can relate to. With Reviews from Amazon, shoppers can:
- Feel more confident about completing purchases on your site.
- Make informed purchasing decisions with more information about your products that offer Buy with Prime.
- Filter reviews by star ratings or categories, such as “top review” and “most recent.”
Getting customers to rate or review products is hard and takes time.
