🌟 Group ratings are now public
Group ratings, which were previously only visible to organizers and leadership team members, are now be publicly visible!
Here’s what’s new:
⭐ Average group rating
Your group’s average rating (out of 5 stars) will now be visible across Meetup. This rating reflects how members have rated your past events, giving prospective members a helpful snapshot of your group experience.
💬 Member reviews
Moving forward, written event reviews submitted by members will also be visible to the public. Only new reviews will be shared, meaning all feedback submitted prior to March 27th will remain visible only to organizers and leadership team members.
Members are clearly notified that their reviews will be public before submitting.
🛡️ Safety first
If a review seems abusive or inappropriate, it can be reported by anyone. Our Trust & Safety team will review and take action as needed to keep things respectful and constructive.
Why this matters
This change isn’t just about transparency—it’s about helping your group thrive! We hope this change will help you:
✅ Show off your group’s awesome community
✅ Build trust with new and existing members
✅ Increase event attendance by giving members a chance to review real feedback
In fact, our tests show that members are significantly more likely to RSVP when they can see ratings and reviews. That’s a win-win for everyone. 😍
