How NicheTrust scores products and gives them a long-tail SEO page
Paste a URL, get a brief and Trust Score, then list an indexable /product page after you verify the site. Peer reviews, customer ratings, and public activity are stored in the database — missing dimensions count as 0, never skipped or invented.
URL first, account second
The landing page asks for one field: the product or service URL. We fetch the page, draft a brief, suggest a micro-niche, and log the analyze so you can claim it after sign-in. The shared Nichestarter project is created only when you save.
The Trust Score
The composite is 40% peer Karma reviews, 35% customer star ratings, and 25% public activity (completeness, verification, recency). Missing dimensions count as 0, so a complete listing without reviews cannot score above 25. Sparse reviews shrink toward a neutral prior until more land.
- Peer builders rate value-prop clarity, onboarding/UX, and pricing.
- Customers leave a 1–5 rating and an optional public comment.
- Activity covers the listing brief, domain verification, and whether the site still responds.
Nothing is public until it is verified
Drafts stay off the catalog, sitemap, and /product pages until you prove the landing page is yours. Add the nichematch-verification meta tag (or paste the token / .well-known file), or submit the URL for a manual admin audit. The same proof is shared with NicheMatch.
Give before you take
Leaving structured peer feedback awards Karma. Featured ranking can spend Karma later. At launch the Karma gate for dofollow links is off, so every listed product is indexable — but only after meta-tag or admin verification.
FAQ
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Paste a URL first. Sign in when you want to claim the draft. The public /product page stays off until you verify the landing page.
Is the outbound link dofollow?
Yes at launch, for listed products only. Listings wait on meta-tag or admin audit before they appear in the catalog or sitemap. If we later require Karma for featured indexing, unfeatured listings can be nofollow.
