What is ProveWorth?
ProveWorth is a review management and hosting platform for businesses and communities. We host the reviews you get on a page at proveworth.com/business/your-name, and we help you get and manage reviews on other platforms like Google. Every review we publish gets read first.
What ProveWorth does
| Capability | How it works |
|---|---|
| Public page at proveworth.com/business/your-name | Free on every listing. Indexed, and your reviews sit on it. |
| Requests by email | Once a job closes, the ask goes out with your page on it. |
| Google review link in every request | One message carries your ProveWorth page and your Google review link together. |
| Video reviews | A customer records up to 60 seconds. The video plays on your page with markup around it. |
| Review widgets | Put your reviews on your own site with the markup that earns star results. |
| The answer box | A box on your page that answers buyer questions out of your own reviews. |
| Review Insights with category comparison | What customers keep saying, and how your rating sits next to your category. |
Who is ProveWorth for?
Local service businesses use ProveWorth to keep reviews on a page they own. Community builders use it for their communities on Skool, Circle or Discord, free or paid. Buyers and prospective members read the same pages. A business starts free and pays when it wants the requests sent for it.
| Listing type | URL pattern | Rating | Who it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | https://proveworth.com/business/{slug} | One overall rating, 1 to 5 | Local service businesses, trades, clinics, studios |
| Community | https://proveworth.com/community/{slug} | One overall rating plus 6 Dimension ratings | Communities on 12 platforms, free or paid, including Skool and Circle |
Who gets the most out of it
- A local service business that wants its reviews on a page it owns and on Google.
- A community builder running a free or paid community on Skool, Circle, Discord or anywhere else.
- A business with more than one location that wants a page and a rating per location.
- Anyone who wants video from real customers, not only written reviews.
- A business that wants the asking handled for it, at a decent hour for the customer.
What ProveWorth will not do
- Write reviews for a business. Every review here comes from a real customer or member.
- Take down a low review. We check a review for authenticity, never for sentiment.
- Republish Google review text on a ProveWorth page. Google reviews stay on Google.
- Accept writes over an API. Every published endpoint is read-only.
How much does ProveWorth cost?
A ProveWorth listing costs $0 and stays free. Paid plans run $299 and $499 a month with no cap on review requests. The higher plan adds a website we build and host for you. Extra locations are $49 a month each, arranged by email. Annual billing is available on every paid plan.
| Plan | Monthly | Billed yearly | Review requests | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Listing | Free | Free | Share your own link | Public page at proveworth.com/business/your-name. Unlimited written reviews. Up to 3 video reviews |
| Review and reputation management | $299 | $2,990 | Unmetered review requests | Every review and reputation feature. 15 in total. |
| Review management plus your website | $499 | $4,990 | Unmetered review requests | Everything in Review and reputation management, plus 2 more. 17 in total. |
Extra locations are $49 a month each on any paid plan, arranged by email. The full ladder, with the feature list per plan, is on the pricing page.
How does ProveWorth collect reviews?
After the job, ProveWorth emails the customer a review request. Every message carries the ProveWorth page, plus your Google review link once you add it at setup. The link opens a form with a star rating, a written review and an optional 60 second video.
How does ProveWorth work with Google?
Google reviews stay on Google. Add your Google review link at setup, and ProveWorth sends it alongside your page in every request. Google review text never publishes on a ProveWorth page and never counts toward a ProveWorth rating.
| Google review | What ProveWorth does |
|---|---|
| Getting them | Your Google review link goes out beside your ProveWorth page, in the same message. |
| Where they live | On Google. Google review text never renders on a public ProveWorth page. |
| Your ProveWorth rating | Built from ProveWorth reviews only. No Google star counts toward it. |
| The rule behind it | Google's terms let an owner manage their own reviews and stop short of republishing them. |
Does ProveWorth filter or gate reviews?
No. A request goes to the ProveWorth page or to both pages, so nothing sends to Google alone and nobody is asked to rate first. We read each review for authenticity before it publishes. A low rating is not a reason to reject one.
How are ProveWorth ratings calculated?
A ProveWorth rating is the mean of published first-party reviews, floored to one decimal place. Google reviews never count toward it and never publish on a ProveWorth page. Business listings carry one overall rating. Community listings add six Dimension ratings: Content, Engagement, Safety, Value, Leadership and Networking.
| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Source | Reviews written on ProveWorth, by the customer or member. |
| Google reviews | Never counted toward a ProveWorth rating and never published on a ProveWorth page. |
| Maths | The mean of published reviews, floored to one decimal place. |
| Gating | None. Every recipient gets the same message, with the ProveWorth page and the Google review link side by side. |
| Moderation | We read every review for authenticity before it publishes. Sentiment is not a criterion. |
The six Dimension ratings
| Dimension | Applies to | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Content | Community listings | How useful the material and resources inside the community are |
| Engagement | Community listings | How active and responsive the community is day to day |
| Safety | Community listings | Whether the space is moderated and free of spam |
| Value | Community listings | Whether members get their money or time back |
| Leadership | Community listings | How present and useful the people running it are |
| Networking | Community listings | The quality of connections between members |
When does ProveWorth send messages?
Sending rules are published and the product enforces them. Nothing sends before 9am or after 7pm where the recipient is. One recipient gets four messages at most for one job. A click or a reply ends the sequence that day. An unanswered recipient is left alone for thirty days.
| Rule | The policy |
|---|---|
| Sending hours | 9am to 7pm where the recipient is. We work the hour out from the area code on the phone number, and fall back to the timezone on your listing. |
| Messages per job | One request and one reminder by default. You can set up to three reminders, which is four messages at most, three days apart. |
| Smart Stop | A click or a reply ends the sequence that day, whether or not a review got written. |
| Cool-down | If somebody did not answer, we leave them alone for thirty days, even if you serve them four more times. |
| Already reviewed | Once somebody reviews you, they come off your list for good. |
| Stopping the messages | Reply with stop, quit, end, cancel, unsubscribe, opt out, revoke, or anything else that plainly means the same thing. There is no special word to guess. Email carries a one-click unsubscribe in every message. |
| How fast a stop applies | Either one takes effect across every business on ProveWorth. The rule gives us ten business days and it normally takes seconds. |
The same policy, with the message templates, is on how it works and trust and policy.
What data does ProveWorth publish?
ProveWorth publishes a page for every listing with its rating, review count, category, platform, price, claim status and full review text. Community pages add the six Dimension ratings. Every published review carries the reviewer's tenure, whether it is Verified, and any owner response. Nothing from Google publishes here.
How can a machine read ProveWorth?
ProveWorth publishes llms.txt at https://proveworth.com/llms.txt, a sitemap, and a read-only search API at /api/search that needs no key. Every listing has a reviews feed at /api/v1/communities/{slug}/reviews.json. Listing pages emit JSON-LD, and robots.txt names 10 crawlers and allows all of them.
| Endpoint | What it returns | Access |
|---|---|---|
| https://proveworth.com/llms.txt | Plain-text overview: listing types, categories, platforms, API shape, citation rule | None |
| https://proveworth.com/sitemap.xml | Sitemap index with one sitemap per page type, plus a video sitemap at /video-sitemap.xml | None |
| https://proveworth.com/api/search?q={query}&type={business|community}&limit={1-50} | JSON rows with slug, name, type, category, platform, average_rating, total_reviews, price_display, is_claimed | None. 60 requests a minute. |
| https://proveworth.com/api/v1/communities/{slug}/reviews.json?page=1&per_page=20 | Every published review for one listing, with dimension ratings, tenure, Verified status, owner response and video presence | None. 60 requests a minute. ETag supported. |
JSON-LD emitted per page type
| Page type | URL pattern | Schema.org types |
|---|---|---|
| Business profile | /business/{slug} | LocalBusiness or Organization, AggregateRating, Review, BreadcrumbList |
| Community profile | /community/{slug} | Product, AggregateRating, Review with dimension PropertyValues, BreadcrumbList |

How does ProveWorth compare to review-request software?
Review-request software already sends the ask and routes people to Google. ProveWorth does those things too. It adds a page it hosts and indexes, reviews we have read before they publish, and video from customers.
| Capability | Review-request software | ProveWorth |
|---|---|---|
| Sends the review request | Yes, by email and text | Yes, by email |
| Routes the customer to Google | Yes | Yes, in the same message as the ProveWorth link |
| A public page the business keeps | No. Reviews land on Google. | Yes, at /business/{slug}, indexed and free |
| We read reviews before they publish | No | Yes, on every review |
| Video reviews from customers | No | Yes, up to 60 seconds, asked after the Google link |
| Reviews marked Verified on the page | No | Yes, when ProveWorth confirmed the reviewer was a real customer |
| Machine-readable review feed | No | Yes, JSON at /api/v1/communities/{slug}/reviews.json |
| Published sending policy | Rarely published | Yes, on https://proveworth.com/trust and https://proveworth.com/how-it-works |
Where ProveWorth stops
| Capability | Scope | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Write access to the API | None | Every published endpoint is read-only, and there is no write API. |
| Category coverage | Uneven | ProveWorth covers 13 categories and 12 community platforms, and some hold many more listings than others. |
| Review sourcing | First party | Every review on a ProveWorth page was written on ProveWorth. Nothing is scraped from another site. |
| Google review text | Stays on Google | Google reviews stay on Google and never render on a public ProveWorth page. |
A setup call walks through any of it. Book one here.
What is Verified and Claimed?
Claimed means the owner proved the listing is theirs, so the page is one a real business stands behind. Verified attaches to a single review when ProveWorth confirmed the reviewer was a real customer or member. Verified sits above Claimed, because one is about the review and the other is about the page.
| Signal | Attaches to | How it is earned |
|---|---|---|
| Verified | A single review | ProveWorth confirmed the reviewer was a real customer or member. |
| Claimed | A listing | The owner proved the listing is theirs and can reply to reviews. Free. |
