PeerSpot Becomes Exclusive Review Provider for AWS Marketplace
Hi everyone — I’m Trent, Head of Marketing at PeerSpot. Wanted to share a major update that officially goes live today: PeerSpot is now the exclusive provider of first-party reviews on the AWS Marketplace. What this means for AWS Marketplace vendors:
PeerSpot reviews now directly impact your AWS star rating.
Reviews mentioning AWS deployment, plus any reviews from AWS Marketplace buyers, will sync into the “AWS Reviews” section of your listing.
New reviews submitted on AWS Marketplace will be routed through PeerSpot and shown on both your AWS listing and PeerSpot profile.
This is a bi-directional integration — part of AWS’s broader strategy to turn Marketplace into a full buyer research platform.
G2 reviews will still appear in the "External Reviews" section, but only PeerSpot reviews count toward your AWS star rating. Reviews mentioning on-prem, Azure, or GCP will also live in the External section, just like G2 — with no impact on your star rating. Why this matters:
PeerSpot reviews now carry significantly more visibility and weight for AWS buyers.
Many vendors are already taking action to get more AWS-qualified PeerSpot reviews live.
In the coming months, you’ll also see PeerSpot Buyer’s Guides and AI summaries embedded directly on Marketplace listings.
All PeerSpot programs are eligible for AWS MDF, so you can fully fund review collection, intent data, content, and lead gen using AWS budget — no impact on your core marketing funds.
AWS chose PeerSpot because of our ability to deliver in-depth, high-trust reviews that help buyers make better decisions. This is a big shift toward voice-of-customer content driving actual conversions in Marketplace. TL;DR: - https://pages.peerspot.com/aws-marketplace-reviews PeerSpot is now the only review platform that impacts your AWS star rating. Reviews from PeerSpot will sync with your AWS listing, and new Marketplace reviews now flow through PeerSpot. Vendors can use AWS MDF to fully fund PeerSpot programs — and it all starts today. Happy to answer any questions or help you take advantage of this.
