History

Sitejabber released an official Google Chrome extension in 2015.

Sitejabber is a certified Google Reviews partner. 

Jabio

In 2023, Sitejabber relaunched its review management platform under a new name, Jabio. Sitejabber states that its technology allows brands to manage their reputation by collecting, monitoring, and distributing reviews. The company states that this update helps distinguish the Jabio business platform from the Sitejabber site.

The Jabio platform allows businesses to source reviews, manage feedback, and use reviews for their online marketing - including publishing or facilitating reviews across destinations including Google Seller Ratings, BBB, and other customer review websites.

In addition, both B2C and B2B consumers create Sitejabber accounts to rate and review online businesses, providing an overall star-rating as well as evaluating criteria such as service, value, shipping, returns, and quality. Sitejabber is a platform where users can share their experiences and insights about various businesses. These features are designed to help buyers make informed purchasing decisions while helping them avoid deceptive websites.

Sitejabber has been recognized by PC Magazine and CNN.
