Basics of Product Information

Marketplaces

You can manage your product listing across all G2 marketplaces (G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp) from one place in my.G2. Each marketplace reaches a different kind of buyer, so you can tailor your listing where it matters.

  • Enter your information once. The core product information in the Cross-Marketplaces panel applies to every marketplace unless a marketplace overrides it.
  • Track your progress. Each marketplace shows whether your listing is published and how many fields you've completed.
  • See your listing live. Select Visit Listing next to a marketplace to view your listing.

Here's what you can customize:

Marketplace What you can customize
Cross-Marketplaces Product Information, Packages & Pricing, Categories & Features, Integrations, and Target Buyers
G2 Profile Assets, CTA Settings, Downloads, Interactive Demo, Lead Form, Featured Companies, AI Sales Agent, and G2 Deals
Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp Descriptions, Screenshots, Videos, and International Markets

Write a unique description for each marketplace to explain what problem your product solves, what it does, and how businesses use it. Content for each marketplace must be in English.

The date and time you last saved appears on each marketplace's page.

Updating your product or vendor name

Your product and vendor names on G2 should match how they appear on your website, without added marketing terms, keywords, or trademark symbols.

  • Use the official name listed on your company’s website or legal documentation.
  • Avoid promotional language, keywords, or symbols such as ™ or ®.
  • If you are rebranding, you can include the former name in parentheses for clarity (e.g., New Brand (formerly Old Brand)).

Include the following information when submitting a request:

  • Proposed category name

AI Trust Tier

The AI Trust Tier helps buyers identify products with embedded artificial intelligence (AI). Products can receive one of two AI tags: AI Enabled or AI Verified. These tags appear on your product profile and category listings.

To enable AI Trust Tier, turn on the Enable toggle in the AI Trust Tier section of Profile Assets.

AI trust tier in my.g2

A product can have only one AI tag at a time. AI tags are awarded independently of G2 Score and do not affect Grid® placement.

AI Enabled

The AI Enabled tag indicates that AI enhances your product's capabilities, but your product's core value exists independently of AI.

AI Trust Tier AI enabled designation

Products that incorporate technologies such as machine learning (ML), large language models (LLMs), generative AI, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, or neural network-based predictive analytics may qualify for the AI Enabled tag. Basic rules-based automation and standard search indexing do not qualify.

G2 Market Research may also add or update the AI Enabled tag based on the best available evidence of your product's AI functionality.

The AI Enabled tag does not mean your product is AI Native. AI Enabled products use AI to enhance or extend their core functionality. AI Native products are built with AI as their core architecture and rely on AI to deliver their primary functionality.

AI Verified

The AI Verified tag indicates that customers have validated your product's AI functionality.

AI Trust Tier AI verified designation

After your product receives the AI Enabled tag, G2 automatically upgrades it to the AI Verified tag once 10 or more approved reviews confirm customers have used your product's AI features.

Reviewers validate AI functionality by answering Yes to the review question, "Have you used artificial intelligence (AI) features as part of this product?"

If you believe your product's AI tag is incorrect, contact G2 Support and explain why your product qualifies for the requested tag. G2 reviews each request before updating your product's AI tag.

AI Users Trust Badges

The AI Users Trust Badge program is currently in beta. For this initial launch, only products in G2's HR category are eligible.

Once your product earns the AI Verified tag and meets additional eligibility requirements, it can also earn a Gold, Silver, or Bronze AI Users Trust badge. This scored designation reflects how much users trust your product's AI capabilities.

During the beta, G2 notifies vendors of newly awarded badges by email; badges do not yet appear in my.G2.

For details on eligibility, scoring, and badge tiers, refer to AI Users Trust Badges in G2's Research Scoring Methodologies documentation.

UTM Params

Use the UTM Params section to set UTM parameters for your product and company website URLs on G2, enabling you to easily track direct referral traffic from G2 in your third-party analytics software.

To set your UTM parameters, go to my.G2, then select Listings > Manage Listings > G2 > CTA Settings.

Add UTM params directly in the corresponding fields

In addition to the Campaign, Medium, and Source parameters, G2 also appends a default Content parameter, which includes information about the G2 page that generated the click.

The UTM Content parameter follows the format {page type}-{page name}-{page subtype}. For example, a click generated from the Pricing tab of the SaaS Company X product profile page would have a UTM Content of products-saascompanyx-pricing.

The UTM Content Examples section shows the expected UTM Content value for several G2 pages that include your website URL.

A list of Page URLs and their corresponding UTM Content parameters

You can also track clicks to your website from Listings Performance (Listings > Listings Performance) in my.G2.

Lead Form

Use the Lead Form tab to customize the form buyers complete on your G2 profile, for example when they download content or request a custom quote. You can change whether the Phone Number field is required, add custom fields, and add your own privacy policy.

The Lead Form tab in the G2 panel

To customize your lead form, go to my.G2, then select Listings > Manage Listings > G2 > Lead Form.

For steps, standard fields, and custom fields, refer to Leads.

Featured Companies

The Featured Companies section shows buyers which companies already use your product, surfacing up to 15 customer logos and company names directly on your G2 product profile.

Featured Companies is available on paid G2 product profiles only.

How featured companies are selected

By default, G2 automatically populates your featured companies using verified review data, pulling company names from buyers who have submitted approved reviews for your product. You can also customize the list yourself by adding companies.

The Source column shows how each company was added. Companies you add show Vendor curated, and companies G2 adds show Auto generated.

Add at least three companies for the Used by section to appear on your profile.

Customizing your featured companies

To curate your own list:

  1. Go to my.G2, then select Listings > Manage Listings > G2 > Featured Companies.
  2. Select Add New.
  3. Search for and select a company.
  4. Select Add Company.

To remove a company, hover over the company in the list, then select Remove.

Only add companies that have genuinely used your product. G2 may remove featured companies that don't meet this requirement.

AI Sales Agent

Use the AI Sales Agent tab to add an AI selling assistant to your G2 profile and your company website.

To set it up, go to my.G2, then select Listings > Manage Listings > G2 > AI Sales Agent.

For setup steps and settings, refer to AI Sales Agent.

All-in-One and Best-of-Breed

G2 classifies eligible software products as either All-in-One or Best-of-Breed to help buyers understand whether a product is designed for broad functionality or specialized expertise.

The classification appears on your product profile and can be used as a filter on category pages and live Grid® reports.

the solution type as shown on the product profile

The classification applies to the product as a whole and does not affect G2 Score.

Attribute Details
Eligibility Products with 25 or more reviews on G2
Assignment Assigned algorithmically by G2 and evaluated weekly
Scope Applies to the product, not individual categories
Impact on G2 Score None

Classification definitions

All-in-One: An all-in-one product provides functionality across multiple business functions within a single platform and is designed to support a broad range of workflows and use cases.

Best-of-Breed: A best-of-breed product focuses on a specific business function or use case and prioritizes depth and specialization within a particular domain.

Requesting a classification update

If you believe your product has been assigned the incorrect classification, contact G2 Support to submit a request for G2 review.

Include an explanation of why your product should be classified as either All-in-One or Best-of-Breed. G2 will review the request and follow up with a decision.
