# Why G2 employee opinions don’t affect ratings or reviews

G2 ratings and reviews are algorithmically calculated and entirely data-driven. G2 employees cannot influence scores, rankings, or published reviews.

## What influences G2 scores

- Verified customer reviews
- Review volume and recency
- Satisfaction and market presence data
- API-sourced third-party signals
