Summary
User-generated content platform for reviews, ratings and visual content to boost shopper confidence and conversions.
Overview
Bazaarvoice is a comprehensive user-generated content (UGC) platform that helps brands and retailers collect, moderate, display, and syndicate ratings, reviews, photos, and videos. The platform includes sourcing tools (sampling, creator marketing, Influenster community), display capabilities (ratings & reviews, Q&A, social galleries), and amplify features (retail syndication and insights).

It also offers APIs, developer resources, and support plans for enterprise customers.
