Best Practices

Include specific, quantified results in testimonials

'Great product!' is useless. '70% faster client delivery' is compelling. When collecting testimonials, ask customers for a specific result or outcome. Quantified testimonials convert 2–3x better than generic praise.

Show real photos, names, and companies

Anonymous testimonials ('— Marketing Manager, Tech Company') are not credible. Full name, company, and a real photo dramatically increases testimonial believability.

Place testimonials near conversion points

Testimonials are most effective directly before or after CTAs and pricing sections — where purchase anxiety is highest. Don't isolate all social proof in one section.

FAQ

Where should testimonials appear on a landing page?

Multiple places: immediately after the hero (establishes early trust), after the feature section (validates the claims), and directly before the pricing section (reduces purchase anxiety). Don't limit testimonials to one section.
