Trust & Authority

Testimonials

Statements from satisfied customers or clients testifying to the character or qualifications of a product or service.

Testimonials are the ultimate trust-builder. Unlike your marketing copy, a testimonial is an external validation of your promise. They transform abstract claims into concrete results.

What Makes a Great Testimonial?

  • Specific Results: “They saved us 20 hours a week” is better than “They were great.”
  • Real Identity: Including a name, photo, and company adds authenticity.
  • Problem-Solution Narrative: Describing the situation before and after your intervention.

Integrating testimonials throughout the user journey reinforces trust at every decision point.
