At Everything Dinosaur, we value honest customer feedback. Over the years, genuine customer reviews have helped us build trust with collectors, families and dinosaur enthusiasts around the world. Therefore, we take great care to ensure that customer opinions remain authentic.

Recently, our spam filter intercepted an unsolicited marketing email offering review-related services. The approach reminded us why genuine customer reviews are so important. As a result, we thought it would be helpful to explain our position.

Building Trust Through Genuine Customer Reviews

Buying prehistoric animal models and fossils online requires confidence. Customers want accurate information, reliable service and products that meet their expectations. Fortunately, independent reviews help shoppers make informed decisions.

For this reason, we greatly appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave feedback. Whether a review is posted on Reviews.io, Feefo, Trustpilot or another platform, we believe customer comments should reflect real experiences.

Why Authentic Feedback Matters

Honest reviews benefit everyone. Firstly, they help potential customers understand what to expect. Secondly, they allow businesses to improve. In addition, genuine comments create transparency and accountability.

At Everything Dinosaur, we do not take trust for granted. Instead, we work hard to earn it every day. Our team strives to provide excellent customer service, and we welcome constructive feedback.

Sometimes, reviews highlight areas where we can improve. Although criticism can be difficult to receive, it often helps us deliver a better experience. Consequently, authentic feedback plays an important role in our continued development.

Putting Customers First

We know that many of our customers have supported us for years. Furthermore, many new collectors discover Everything Dinosaur through recommendations and independent reviews. That support means a great deal to us.

Trust takes time to establish. However, it can be lost quickly. Therefore, we remain committed to maintaining the high standards that our customers expect.

The internet offers many opportunities, but reputation should never be taken lightly. In our view, genuine customer reviews are far more valuable than anything money can buy.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to share their experiences. Your comments help other collectors, and they help us continue to improve. Most importantly, they have helped Everything Dinosaur build a reputation based on honesty, trust and excellent customer service.

A Middlewich-based company with customers around the world is preparing for its first international Zoom interview as part of a wider strategy to engage overseas audiences and support export growth. Everything Dinosaur, the award-winning prehistoric animal model specialist run by Mike and Sue will participate in a live online discussion with German-based broadcaster, palaeoartist and influencer Karim Zanaty later this month. The event will be streamed via Zoom and is expected to attract attendees from across Europe and beyond.

International Collaboration Through Technology

The event highlights how modern communication platforms enable small and medium-sized businesses to collaborate effectively across borders.

Based in Middlewich, Cheshire, Everything Dinosaur has built a global reputation for supplying scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models and educational resources. The company regularly serves customers throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

By partnering with Karim Zanaty, founder of Extinct Fine Art and a recognised figure within the international palaeoart community, Everything Dinosaur is demonstrating how businesses can use digital technology to connect with specialist audiences regardless of geographical location. The Zoom interview will focus on the company’s new Everything Dinosaur Evolution range, a collection of museum-quality prehistoric animal figures developed in collaboration with scientists, artists and designers.

Supporting Export Growth

International engagement remains an important part of Everything Dinosaur’s business strategy. The company sees digital events as an effective way to build relationships with existing customers whilst introducing its products and expertise to new audiences.

The live discussion will provide an opportunity to showcase the company’s work to collectors, enthusiasts and educators across multiple countries. Furthermore, it supports the business’s ongoing efforts to increase export sales throughout Europe and other international markets.

As businesses continue to adapt to changing customer expectations, online events offer a cost-effective way to communicate directly with overseas audiences and strengthen brand awareness internationally.

Embracing Innovation

For Mike Walley, the event represents more than a simple interview. It demonstrates how embracing new technology can help businesses innovate and remain competitive.

Mike explained:

“We are delighted to be taking part in our first international Zoom interview. Digital platforms such as Zoom provide fantastic opportunities to engage directly with customers and enthusiasts across Europe and around the world. By embracing technology, we can reach a much wider audience, support our export ambitions and continue to innovate within our sector. International collaboration is becoming increasingly important for businesses of all sizes, and we are excited to share our story with a global audience.”

Building Connections Beyond Borders

The collaboration between Everything Dinosaur and Karim Zanaty demonstrates how businesses can use technology to overcome geographical barriers and create meaningful international partnerships.

As companies across the UK continue to explore export opportunities, digital communication tools are becoming increasingly valuable. They enable organisations to share expertise, promote products and develop relationships with customers in overseas markets without the need for extensive travel.

For Everything Dinosaur, this first international Zoom interview represents another step in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, collaboration and export growth.

The live event takes place on 24th June and is free to attend.

Hosted by palaeoartist Karim Zanaty of Extinct Fine Art, the online discussion will explore the inspiration behind the project. In addition, attendees will learn more about the development of the figures and the future plans for the range.

The event takes place on 24th June at 4:00 pm UTC (5pm BST, noon EDT).

Discussing the Everything Dinosaur Evolution Project

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution range represents an exciting new chapter for the company. For more than twenty years, Everything Dinosaur has helped enthusiasts, collectors and educators access scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models. However, the Evolution project takes this commitment a step further. The aim is to create museum-quality prehistoric animal figures that combine scientific accuracy with exceptional craftsmanship.

The first figure in the range is a 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex. A team of scientists, artists and designers worked on the model. Furthermore, the project took more than three years to complete.

During the interview, Mike will explain how the team developed the figure. He will also discuss the importance of combining palaeontology and palaeoart when creating realistic prehistoric animal reconstructions.

Palaeontology and Palaeoart Connected

Accurate prehistoric animal models require both scientific research and artistic skill. Therefore, the interview will explore how these two disciplines work together. Palaeontologists provide evidence from fossils and scientific studies. Meanwhile, artists help transform that evidence into engaging visual reconstructions. As a result, collectors can enjoy figures that reflect current scientific understanding.

The discussion will also highlight the collaborative approach behind the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range. This co-operation has helped create a figure that captures both anatomical accuracy and visual appeal.

An Opportunity to Ask Questions

The Zoom event includes an open discussion and a live question-and-answer session. Consequently, attendees will have the opportunity to ask Mike about the Evolution range and the development process.

Questions about model design, scientific research and future releases will be welcome. In addition, participants can learn more about the challenges involved in creating museum-quality prehistoric animal figures.

The event is free to attend. However, visitors can make an optional donation to support the project if they wish.

It is true!  Sue speaking at DinoCon 2026!  We teased this on social media and today we can confirm that Sue Judd from Everything Dinosaur will be presenting at this year’s DinoCon. Her presentation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the company’s first in-house dinosaur model.

The talk is titled “It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex“. It takes place at 10am on Saturday 25th July in the Library Room at DinoCon. The DinoCon event is being held over the weekend of 25th and 26th July at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel (Birmingham, England).

For Sue, this event marks a special milestone. It will be her first public presentation at DinoCon. Indeed, it is her first time presenting about dinosaurs. As a result, visitors can expect a personal and honest account of the challenges behind designing a scientifically accurate dinosaur model.

Sue Speaking at DinoCon

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex model took more than three years to develop. However, the project involved much more than sculpting a prehistoric animal. The development team brought together palaeontologists, artists, digital designers and model collectors. Furthermore, the project explored sustainability goals, innovative manufacturing methods and new digital technologies.

Sue’s talk explains how these different skills combined to create the final model. In addition, she will discuss how the lessons learned are helping shape the forthcoming Triceratops figure.

Collectors and dinosaur fans often see only the finished model. However, this presentation reveals the planning, collaboration and problem-solving behind the scenes.

Unique Insight into Dinosaur Model Design

This DinoCon presentation focuses on the people behind the project as much as the prehistoric animal itself. Consequently, visitors will hear how a small UK-based company developed an ambitious museum-quality figure range.  It is an astonishing project.  Aiming to change the world one dinosaur model at a time.

Sue will discuss the inspiration behind Everything Dinosaur Evolution and the importance of following the fossil record. In addition, this presentation will provide unique insights into the company’s collaborative work with palaeoartists and designers.  There will even be time for some questions too.

Building the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex became the company’s first in-house prehistoric animal model. The figure was developed with support from experienced palaeoartists and digital sculptors. Additionally, the project reflected Everything Dinosaur’s commitment to responsible manufacturing and long-term sustainability goals. The development process also highlighted the importance of community involvement. Feedback from collectors helped influence several stages of the project.  Indeed, this process is on-going and suggestions about which models to make next are welcome.

As a result, the award-winning 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex model combined scientific research with practical design experience.

Visit DinoCon This July (2026)

DinoCon continues to grow as one of the UK’s most exciting dinosaur-themed events. The convention attracts collectors, families, artists and prehistoric animal enthusiasts from across the country. Therefore, Sue speaking at DinoCon provides visitors with an opportunity to learn more about the creative process behind prehistoric animal model development.

Sue commented that she was excited to have been approached about speaking at this prestigious event and added:

“I’m thrilled to speak at DinoCon and share how our team turned an idea into the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex. This presentation celebrates collaboration, creativity and our commitment to building scientifically accurate dinosaur models inspired by the fossil record.  Moreover, I can provide exclusive insights into our new Triceratops.”

Fans of Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and prehistoric animal collectibles will not want to miss this fascinating presentation.

Sue’s presentation, “It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex“, takes place in the Library Room at 10am on Saturday 25th July.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Have you ever wondered what ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity actually say about you?  In the fast-moving online world rapidly becoming dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) companies are having to navigate a new digital environment.  For example, for us at Everything Dinosaur, our website’s position in search engine queries is increasingly influenced by concepts such as AI optimisation (AIO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO).  Two more acronyms that we have to get used to.  Interestingly, AI insights for Everything Dinosaur yield extremely positive results.

But what do they mean?

• AIO – AI Optimisation is our website structured in such a way so that AI agents can easily understand its content and navigate around it?
• GEO – Generative Engine Optimisation is our website designed to have content cited as a reference in generative AI results?

AI Insights for Everything Dinosaur

This is all rather confusing to someone who would rather be looking at dinosaur models all day.  However, our reputation for customer service and our dedication to our customers seems to be putting Everything Dinosaur into a favourable position when it comes to how AI views us and our business.

For example, we were recently invited by Yoast, a European based search engine optimisation company to take part in an exercise to reveal how AI agents viewed our brand.  Intrigued, we submitted some basic information about us and the team at Yoast set about checking how leading AI platforms view Everything Dinosaur. In turn, these platforms help populate search queries.

The examination reveals overwhelmingly positive AI insights for Everything Dinosaur. In the analysis we scored 100% for our brand sentiment.

The image (above) shows the report into brand sentiment.  The AI platforms could not find any negative comments or sentiments expressed by Everything Dinosaur.

Reassuring for Customers

We might be living in an increasingly AI dominated world.  However, we remain true to our values.  For example, whilst we acknowledge the importance of making our websites AI friendly our priority remains keeping our sites easy to use for people.  As a company, we continue to receive high praise from customers.  We have thousands of Feefo and Google customer reviews.  New reviews are posted nearly every day.  Furthermore, we continue to retain a rating of “Exceptional”.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur pointing out that the Cheshire based business is rated as “Exceptional” for customer service by the independent rating company Feefo. Moreover, the company continues to receive 5-star customer reviews. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is pleasing to note the brand sentiment results following a trawl through AI platforms.  However, we remain committed to helping our customers and supporting them.  Whilst we recognise the importance of AI, helping people is the core element of our business.  After all, we are model collectors too.”

The award-winning and highly praised Everything Dinosaur website: Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Models.

Recently, we reported an exciting milestone. Everything Dinosaur received six Google 5-star reviews in a single day. Moreover, we have hundreds of 5-star Google reviews.  However, with six reviews in a single day, we wanted to explore this further. Therefore, we asked Google’s AI Mode to analyse Everything Dinosaur customer reviews.

The results were both interesting and reassuring.

Everything Dinosaur Customer Reviews Demonstrate a Strong Reputation for Customer Service

According to Google AI Mode, Everything Dinosaur has built an exceptional reputation. The analysis highlighted a consistent one hundred percent 5-star review record, based on hundreds of reviews. Furthermore, the AI identified several key themes. First and foremost, customer service stands out. Reviews frequently describe the service as “stellar”, “fantastic” and “top notch”. In addition, many customers state that the team goes “above and beyond”.

This reflects our long-standing commitment to helping model collectors, educators, and enthusiasts.

Fast Shipping and Careful Packaging

Next, the AI pointed to shipping and packaging. Customers often praise the speed of delivery. Furthermore, they highlight the care taken when packing orders. This is especially important. After all, many of our products are delicate, museum-quality models. Therefore, careful handling remains essential.

As a result, positive feedback in this area is particularly pleasing.

Another key theme is scientific accuracy. Collectors appreciate our detailed product information. They also value the anatomical accuracy of our models.  We stock museum quality prehistoric animal figures. Importantly, this reflects our collaboration with palaeontologists and professional artists. We work hard to ensure each model is based on the latest research.

Consequently, it is rewarding to see this recognised in customer reviews.

Genuine, Independent Reviews Build Trust

The AI summary also highlighted authenticity. Everything Dinosaur is committed to sharing only genuine customer feedback. We actively discourage fake or misleading reviews. In addition, we never rely on AI-generated testimonials. Trust is vital, and transparency remains at the heart of our business.  We work closely with the independent customer ratings company Feefo.  Everything Dinosaur has also received extremely positive reviews on the Trust Pilot platform.

Interestingly, Google AI Mode also referenced independent platforms. For example, Everything Dinosaur holds an “Excellent” rating on Trustpilot and Feefo regards the company as “Exceptional”.

In addition, we were awarded the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award for 2026. This honour recognises consistent delivery of outstanding service. It has been won for five years in a row.

Everything Dinosaur, an award-winning company: Everything Dinosaur Reviews Acknowledged with Feefo Award.

Together, these independent ratings support the findings from the AI-generated summary.

Our View on AI

However, we remain cautious about artificial intelligence. While AI can summarise large amounts of data efficiently, it is not perfect. For instance, we continue to commission artists. These experts create scientifically accurate prehistoric animal illustrations for our free fact sheets. We believe human expertise remains essential in palaeontology.

That said, AI clearly has its uses. In this case, it provided a helpful overview of customer feedback trends.

In conclusion, the AI generated report confirms what a lot of our customers already know.  Sue and I often go “above and beyond”.  Everything Dinosaur customer reviews demonstrate reliability, quality and trust.

Most importantly, we thank all our customers for taking the time to leave feedback. Your support helps us improve and grow.

As always, we remain committed to delivering the very best experience possible.

At Everything Dinosaur, providing excellent customer service has always gone hand in hand with transparency and trust. We have been in business for over twenty years.  Throughout this time, we have championed genuine customer reviews.

Recent media coverage concerning online review platforms, including Feefo, has brought increased attention to how customer feedback is collected and displayed. As a company that has built its reputation upon honest customer interactions, we welcome any discussion that helps strengthen confidence in online reviews.

A Multi-Platform Approach to Customer Feedback

Everything Dinosaur does not rely upon a single source for customer reviews. Instead, we have developed a multi-platform approach that ensures transparency and consistency.

Our customer feedback includes:

• Independently verified reviews via Feefo.
• Thousands of reviews published directly on our website.
• Hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google.

Furthermore, hundreds of positive reviews about Everything Dinosaur can be found on forums, Reddit along with other social media platforms, and we even have Trust Pilot reviews, although we have not worked with Trust Pilot directly.

This approach allows customers to see a broad and balanced view of the customer service we provide.

Everything Dinosaur takes a multi-platform approach to generating customer reviews. As well as reviews posted up onto our own website, we use Feefo and have hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google.

The image above shows a recent notification from Google confirming a batch of five new 5-star reviews. This is typical of the feedback we regularly receive and highlights the consistency of our customer service.

Why Genuine Customer Reviews Matter

We believe that authentic reviews — whether positive or not so positive — are essential. They:

• Help us continually improve.
• Provide reassurance to new customers.
• Reflect real experiences from real people.
• Demonstrate how we communicate with customers.
• Develop trust.

Everything Dinosaur does not engage in artificial review generation or manipulation. Our reviews are earned through the service we provide.

Continuing to Build Trust

As conversations around online reviews evolve, Everything Dinosaur remains committed to honesty, transparency and delivering the highest level of customer service. Furthermore, we try to respond to all the reviews and comments that we receive.

We are extremely grateful to our customers for their continued support and for taking the time to share their experiences.
