G2 Profile screenshot and video pairing

Pair current screenshots with product or case-study videos so the G2 page can prove how the product works before the buyer opens a sales deck.

Why this can grow a startup

Most review profiles stop at logos, badges, and a paragraph that sounds like every other paragraph in the category. That is not enough once the buyer wants to check the actual product. Screenshots help, but still images often flatten the workflow. G2's Reach guidance is more practical. Insider saw conversions lift after adding both screenshots and videos, because the page became closer to a working product surface than a static reputation page. The point is not to decorate the profile. The point is to reduce the distance between claim and proof.

Company example

In G2's Reach 2024 profile workshop, Insider said it saw a 14% boost in conversions after adding both screenshots and videos to its G2 Profile.

When to use it

Use this when Marketplaces, Content, Conversion is relevant to product marketing, visual proof, B2B software and you can run a bounded test with a medium budget.

When not to use it

Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
