What Hellopeter says actually moves the TrustIndex
A Hellopeter business profile shows more than one number, and they aren’t the same thing. The average review rating is a plain average of a business’s individual star ratings. The TrustIndex — the score Hellopeter itself describes as the main metric consumers use to judge how trustworthy a business is — is different: a 0–10 score Hellopeter says is calculated from multiple factors, including review volume, how recent the reviews are, and how consistently the business responds to reviews, especially negative ones.
Hellopeter doesn’t publish the exact formula or weighting behind the TrustIndex, and a business needs at least 10 reviews within a rolling 12-month window before a TrustIndex even generates. Hellopeter’s own guidance treats a TrustIndex above 8 as strong, above 9 as reflecting consistent, high-volume excellence over time, and below 6 as a signal for a shopper to look more carefully before committing.
- Review volume — a rating built on a large number of reviews is treated as more reliable than one built on a handful.
- Recency — recent reviews carry more weight than older ones, so the score reflects how a business is performing now.
- Response rate and behavior — how consistently a business replies to reviews, particularly negative ones, factors into the score.
- Guideline compliance — reviews Hellopeter removes for breaching its content guidelines (false, spam, defamatory) don’t count, and don’t affect the business’s metrics at all.
