How do you decide which is the best-managed WordPress hosting service? The G2 Summer 2022 Report is out and has the answer.
Spoiler alert: Pressable continues to rank at the top for businesses of all sizes!
We’re proud to lead in 10 managed hosting categories in the latest reports from the software review site. This post explains what that means and why you should consider checking G2 before selecting a web host.
What is G2?
G2 is a software review website. The site collects reviews from actual customers and uses the reviews to rank software companies on quality and ease of use.
G2 gives you access to what customers actually think about a company’s service. Unlike the suspiciously glowing five-star reviews of a knock-off product on Amazon, you can trust the legitimacy of G2. The site vets each review to ensure it comes from an actual customer.
Why Does G2 Matter?
Asking a web host what their customers think is a lot like asking a parent what they think of their child. No parent will tell you their child is anything but adorable. Web hosts share the most glowing testimonials on their homepages. G2 helps you verify if what the company tells you matches their customers’ reality.
If a company provides inferior service, it will show up in their G2 reviews. Checking out a company’s profile on G2 provides peace of mind that you’re making the right choice for a managed WordPress host.
G2 is a great source of customer feedback for companies. When evaluating web hosts, be sure to check out how they respond and interact with reviews on their G2 profile. You want to pick a company that’s responsive to customer feedback.
