Learn how to collect and add testimonials to your website. A simple way to gather real customer feedback and display it to build trust and improve conversions.
A website can look professional and load fast, yet still fail to convert visitors.
The most common reason is a lack of trust. Visitors often hesitate before contacting you, signing up, or making a purchase because they are unsure if your business is reliable.
Testimonials solve this problem by showing real experiences from real customers, giving visitors confidence to take action.
Why add testimonials to a website?

Best places to show testimonials on a website
Strategic placement ensures testimonials support user decisions naturally.
Homepage sections
The homepage is the first trust checkpoint. Testimonials placed here immediately reassure visitors that your business is legitimate.
This encourages users to explore your site instead of leaving due to uncertainty.
Service or solution pages
Service pages attract high-intent visitors comparing options.
Testimonials that highlight results, reliability, or outcomes reduce doubt and help visitors feel confident choosing your business.
Product pages
For ecommerce or digital products, testimonials near product details or buy buttons reduce perceived risk.
Seeing feedback from real customers makes purchasing feel safer and more justified.
Contact and conversion pages
Visitors often hesitate right before contacting you or submitting a form.
Testimonials placed near contact forms, signup areas, or CTAs reduce last-minute doubt and increase completed actions.
