Best Company's Home Security Category Exceeds 25,000 Reviews

July 2022 — Best Company’s home security category, which includes more than 240 companies, recently exceeded 25,000 consumer reviews. 

About the home security category 

While Best Company features several home products and services, the companies listed within its home security category provide the widest range of offerings from professional monitoring and installation to complete DIY systems. These options are designed to help consumers obtain security for their homes within their price ranges. 

Best Company continues to add more companies to its home security category list in an effort to keep presenting consumers with as many options as possible.

Although the home security category has been around for several years and features just over 240 businesses, it continues to be one of Best Company’s most highly visited categories.

How this category surpassed 25,000 reviews 

The review website mainly attributes this 25,000 reviews-based achievement to its team members, review-collection processes, and the companies featured within the category. 

Best Company's in-house review team has tested various review campaigns, implemented several review verification processes, conducted email outreach, and more in an effort to increase review numbers for the home security category over the past few years. 

The company's client success, sales, and business development teams have also contributed by finding/adding businesses to the home security list and presenting companies with ways they can get more authentic consumer reviews. Additionally, Best Company’s content marketing department has helped by providing consumers with the most accurate and updated content possible for each business listed in the category. 

Landon Taylor, the co-founder and CEO of Best Company, said he appreciates the time and energy each team has spent to achieve 25,000 home security reviews. 

“Our team members are phenomenal. While our review generation and product are tech-enabled, there's a lot of human touch that goes into making Best Company a destination for consumers to make confident purchase decisions for their home and family. We’re lucky to have people that really care about the quality of work they produce, and continually go above and beyond to make our platform the best it can be,” Taylor said.
