Where should you place testimonials?
Testimonials work best when they appear near a decision point.
Good places to add testimonials include:
- Homepage, after the main value section.
- Service pages, near the call to action.
- Product pages, close to the buying section.
- Pricing pages, near plan comparisons.
- About page, after the company story.
- Landing pages, after benefits or features.
- Portfolio pages, next to project results.
- Checkout or signup pages, when the design allows it.
A testimonial should support the action you want the visitor to take. If the page asks people to book a consultation, show testimonials from clients who booked and got a good result. If the page sells a product, show feedback from people who used that product.
Why adding testimonials in your WordPress website?
Using a testimonial plugin facilitates the addition of customer or client testimonials, reviews, or feedback to your WordPress website. Moreover, this increases the social proof associated with your website and increases your customer base and revenue.
You could’ve added testimonials by handing them into your posts and pages. However, a testimonials plugin allows you to do so in various ways, including a slider, carousel, grid, or other appealing layouts.
Finally, depending on your plugin, you can display testimonials with images, a short description, reviewer information, title, business, or rating.
