Introduction
You’ve built a great website. But visitors still aren’t converting?
One powerful way to improve trust and turn visitors into clients is by adding testimonials and reviews. At DevMart, we help service-based businesses design websites that not only look good—but convert better. Testimonials and reviews play a big part in that.
Why Testimonials and Reviews Matter
🔐 Build Trust Instantly
When new visitors land on your site, they don’t know you. Testimonials act like social proof, showing that others trust your work—so they can too.
“People trust people—not ads.” That’s why reviews matter more than ever in 2025.
💬 Influence Purchase Decisions
According to BrightLocal, 98% of consumers read online reviews before making a decision. That makes them more important than your portfolio or pricing.
✅ Improve Website Conversions
Websites that include well-placed testimonials often see a 20–30% increase in conversions. Whether it’s contact form submissions, bookings, or purchases—reviews push people to act.
How to Use Testimonials and Reviews Effectively
🎯 Place Testimonials Strategically
Don’t just put all reviews on one “testimonials” page. Place them:
- On your homepage
- Beside service descriptions
- On landing pages
- Just before call-to-action (CTA) buttons
This reinforces trust right before a user takes action.
🧠 Use Specific, Story-Driven Testimonials
Generic feedback like “great service” doesn’t work anymore. Instead, aim for testimonials that include:
- What the problem was
- What service they chose
- What result they got
Example:
“Before working with DevMart, we had no online presence. Now, we get 5–7 appointment calls every week through our website!”
🌟 Highlight Google & Social Media Reviews
Embed real reviews from:
- Google Business Profile
- Instagram Highlights
- LinkedIn or Facebook comments
This increases credibility since they’re verified and public.
🖼️ Add Names, Photos, or Videos
A face and name make a review feel 10x more real.
- Use the client’s name (with permission)
- Add their photo
- Or better: add a short video testimonial
Tip: We also build testimonial sections with animations and sliders to keep things dynamic and mobile-friendly.
The SEO Impact of Reviews
Did you know Google reads reviews too?
- Keywords in reviews help your page rank
- Fresh review content keeps your site updated
- Review schema (a type of markup we can add) helps you appear with star ratings in search results
This means reviews don’t just convert visitors—they also bring in more traffic.
Real-World Example: Kumiega Skin Clinic

FAQs About Using Testimonials and Reviews
❓ Can I add reviews from Instagram or DMs?
Yes! With permission, you can convert those into website testimonials. We can also design quote cards or embed screenshots.
❓ What if I have no reviews yet?
Start small—ask 3–5 happy clients for a quick sentence. Offer them a discount or freebie in exchange. Make it part of your follow-up process.
❓ How many reviews should I add?
At least 1–2 reviews per service, plus a few on the homepage and booking page. Quality matters more than quantity.
❓ Can DevMart help design testimonial sections?
Absolutely. We design conversion-focused websites that include custom testimonial sections, animations, and trust-building features.
