Squarespace websites are known for clean design and strong visuals, but good design alone does not drive conversions.
Visitors still need reassurance before they book a service, join a mailing list, or make a purchase.
When there is no visible proof from real customers, hesitation grows. Testimonials solve this by building trust and validating your offer at the right moment.
Why add testimonials to Squarespace?
Squarespace is built for presentation and storytelling, which makes testimonials especially powerful when used correctly.

Pages with testimonials can increase conversions by up to 34 percent
88 percent of people trust online testimonials as much as personal recommendations
Social proof increases engagement on portfolio, service, and ecommerce pages
Because Squarespace layouts are structured and minimal, testimonials stand out clearly and feel authentic.

Best places to show testimonials on Squarespace
Strategic placement helps testimonials support user decisions naturally.
Homepage sections
The homepage is the first trust checkpoint for most visitors. Testimonials placed here immediately reassure users that your brand is legitimate. This encourages visitors to scroll, explore, and engage instead of leaving due to uncertainty.
Service pages
Service pages attract visitors who are comparing providers. Testimonials that highlight outcomes, professionalism, or reliability reduce doubt. Seeing feedback from real clients makes choosing your service feel like a safe decision.
Portfolio pages
For creatives and agencies, portfolio pages show work but testimonials explain results. Pairing testimonials with projects adds context and credibility, helping visitors understand the value behind your work and increasing enquiries.
Product and checkout pages
For Squarespace ecommerce sites, testimonials near product details or checkout sections reduce purchase anxiety. Social proof reassures shoppers right before payment, which helps lower abandonment and increase completed orders.
