● Positioned as primary trust signal in AI-driven commerce with independent research by Seer Interactive showing Trustpilot as #1 most-cited review platform globally, and internal server data showing ChatGPT requests in June up over 400% YoY.
● Expansion of global Enterprise accounts into multiple geographies resulted in customers increasingly being billed and reported in regions other than the UK, even when sold there.
● New sales organisation structure implemented in Q2 to support growth at scale.
● Strengthened partnership with Shopify as key product partner and enhanced app, enabling merchants to connect stores directly with the Trustpilot platform.
Adrian Blair, CEO of Trustpilot said:
“We delivered strong bookings growth and gross retention in the first half, particularly in North America. AI is proving a significant tailwind for customer growth across all focus markets, particularly in Enterprise, as usage by both consumers and businesses continues to surge and businesses increasingly understand the value of Trustpilot feedback in the age of AI. These results reinforce our position as the world’s largest open customer feedback platform, and we remain confident in the long-term growth opportunity and in our guidance.”
