Understanding your business trust score

Your trust score is computed from multiple signals — reviews, verification status, response rate, and more. Here's how each factor contributes.

Your Credible trust score is a number from 0 to 100. It is meant to summarise, at a glance, how much a stranger should trust your business based on what is publicly verifiable.

What goes into the score

  • Average review rating (30%)
  • Volume of verified reviews (25%)
  • Verification status — Verified or Certified (20%)
  • Response rate and average response time (15%)
  • Recency — how fresh the activity is (10%)

What does not go into the score

Paid placements, advertising spend, and any direct way to buy a higher score. We surface those rules publicly so a business cannot game the system simply by spending more.
