Formula Used

Real Reviews Percentage = (Verified Purchases + Image/Video Reviews) / Total Reviews × 100
This formula accounts for the most reliable indicators of genuine reviews: verified purchases and reviews that include multimedia content.
Worked Examples
Example 1: High-Quality Product
For a product with:
- Total reviews: 1,200
- Verified purchases: 400
- Image/video reviews: 300
The calculation would be:
(400 + 300) / 1,200 × 100 = 58.33%
This suggests approximately 58% of the reviews are likely genuine.
Example 2: New Product
For a newer product with:
- Total reviews: 300
- Verified purchases: 100
- Image/video reviews: 50
The calculation would be:
(100 + 50) / 300 × 100 = 50%
This suggests approximately 50% of the reviews are likely genuine.
