How to get testimonials for your business

 Firstly get a page set up on your domain where you can drop in all the quotes we get from clients.

Recommendations:

1. Lay out the page so the most recent testimonial is at the top and the reader scrolls down to see others.
2. Take all testimonials and make a long and a short “sound bite” version.  Put the short version on the Testimonials page.
3. Copy the long version of each testimonial to a blog post – and link to it from the short version on the testimonials page.
4. Link to the client website (like we do on the Creative Agency Secrets Testimonials page).  It’s nice to give back some strong SEO link juice.
5. Have a plan about how you are going to set up the business process to get new testimonials regularly from clients and customers.
6. Also ask for testimonials on your Google My Business page.  Note, you have to have a gmail address in order to upload these so it can be a big ‘ask’ for some clients for whom that’d be a challenge to set up.

Here’s a case study of a cute campaign we ran to get testimonials and support a good cause.

Now, where else can you get testimonials….. Linked In, Facebook, Neighbourly (NZ local media), Yelp, Finda….. over to you to share yours.
