Do you want to add testimonials to WordPress pages?

Adding new testimonials to your WordPress website helps you show social proof and boost your brand’s credibility with potential customers. And that’s why so many businesses display testimonials across their website pages.

In this article, we’ll show you how to add strong testimonials and customer reviews to WordPress pages easily.

Why Add Testimonials to a WordPress Page?

Showing a customer testimonials section on your WordPress site is an effective way of adding social proof, which can help you win more customers and boost sales. Plus, if you run an online store, testimonials can even boost your conversion rates.

For instance, when people see positive customer feedback about your products or services, it increases their trust in your brand. And if you display a number of testimonials on a product or checkout page, they can encourage users to go through with their purchase.

Another effective way to use testimonials is on squeeze pages. That way, you can encourage people to download an ebook or subscribe to your email newsletter.

As you can see, when you add testimonials to WordPress pages, you significantly increase the chance of boosting leads and sales.

With that said, we’ll show you how to add testimonials to pages in WordPress using 3 different methods. Click any of the quick links below to jump to the method you need.
