    Reference Pages contain content associated with your G2 product profile, including G2 Market Reports, G2 reviews, and Crowd Quotes. You can also collect leads and display your organization’s marketing media, such as downloadable files and video embeds.

    G2 hosts your Reference Pages on an isolated web page, enabling you to feature your product's G2 performance in a space free of competitor products.

    Use Reference Pages in your account-based marketing (ABM) campaigns by highlighting reviews from brand advocates in the same industry, region, or department as your prospects. Select this link to view a sample Reference Page created to demonstrate the value of G2 Buyer Intent data.

    Creating a Reference Page

    You can create an unlimited number of unique Reference Pages. Each page is hosted by G2 and is assigned a publicly-accessible URL.

    To create a Reference Page:

    1. In my.G2, go to Marketing Content > Reference Pages.
    2. Select Add Reference Page to access the Create a Reference Page editor.
    3. Enter a Reference Page Label. This label should be named to help you quickly identify the contents or intended audience of the Reference Page. For example, "G2 References for mid-market APAC organizations."
    4. Enter a Page Title. This title is public and appears at the top of your Reference Page, next to your product logo.

    The page title also acts as the slug to your Reference Page URL. If two Reference Pages are given the same title, G2 adds a unique ID to the end of the URL for the newer Reference Page.

    1. Set your Reference Page content:
