Cofounder of Senja
There's no form of advertising more powerful, than word of mouth. And while having a team of roaming clowns shouting our praises from the rooftops would be cool, it's just not practical.
So instead, you've decided to collect a bunch of glowing testimonials from satisfied customers and display them proudly on your website. That way, people can see for themselves that your not just blowing smoke up your, well, you know. Plus, it'll make you look way more legit than those clowns ever could.
But where exactly should you place those testimonials?
This article will show you 6 great places to start, along with examples you can steal. Let's get started!
Why you should add testimonials to your website
In the world of online shopping, trust is everything.
Customers want to know that they can rely on a company's products or services before they make a purchase. That's where testimonials and social proof come in.
According to a study by Brightlocal, 92% of customers read testimonials before making a buying decision. So if you're not including testimonials or social proof anywhere on your website, you're practically leaving money on the table!
By showcasing the positive experiences of your satisfied customers, you can give visitors the reassurance they need to take the plunge and make a purchase.
Testimonials also help address any concerns or objections that potential customers may have, and can give them the confidence they need to choose your product or service over the competition.
Where to place testimonials on your website

This prime real estate is perfect for building trust with potential customers at first sight.
