Are you look­ing for the best tes­ti­mo­ni­al plu­g­ins for your Word­Press website? 

Tes­ti­mo­ni­als and reviews are a great way to add social proof to your web­site and help build trust among your users. 

In this arti­cle, we have hand-picked the best tes­ti­mo­ni­al plu­g­ins for Word­Press that you can use on your website. 

Why Use a Testimonial Plugin for WordPress?

Using a tes­ti­mo­ni­al plu­g­in lets you eas­i­ly add cus­tomer or client tes­ti­mo­ni­als, reviews, or feed­back to your Word­Press web­site. This adds social proof to your site and helps you win new cus­tomers and boost sales. 

You could add tes­ti­mo­ni­als by man­u­al­ly copy­ing them into your posts or pages. How­ev­er, a tes­ti­mo­ni­als plu­g­in lets you dis­play them attrac­tive­ly in a slid­er, carousel, grid, and oth­er beau­ti­ful layouts. 

Depend­ing on the plu­g­in you choose, you can show tes­ti­mo­ni­als with pho­tos, a short blurb, reviewer’s name, title, busi­ness, or star ratings. 

That being said, let’s take a look at some of the best Word­Press tes­ti­mo­ni­al plu­g­ins that you can try. 

1. Facebook Social Reviews Feed – Smash Balloon

Face­book Social Reviews Feed from Smash Bal­loon lets you dis­play reviews from your Face­book Page on your site. This is a fan­tas­tic option if you already have some great reviews on Face­book. It means you don’t have to copy and paste any text or seek out fresh testimonials.

Face­book reviews boost user trust as they come from real Face­book pro­files that can be looked up. 

Cus­tom Face­book Feed Pro itself is the most pop­u­lar Face­book feed plu­g­in out there and works with any Word­Press theme. It makes it real­ly easy to add a Face­book page feed to Word­Press and boost engage­ment on your social profiles. 

With the Reviews exten­sion, you can dis­play Face­book reviews as tes­ti­mo­ni­als by enter­ing the short­code in any post or page, or even in a side­bar or foot­er wid­get. You can also dis­play them any­where on your land­ing pages or indi­vid­ual prod­uct pages. 

Note: You will need to pur­chase the Cus­tom Face­book Feed Pro plu­g­in by Smash Bal­loon in order to use the Reviews extension.

2. Custom Twitter Review Feed – Smash Balloon

Cus­tom Twit­ter Review Feed from Smash Bal­loon is a great option for dis­play­ing Twit­ter tes­ti­mo­ni­als on your site. 

Like Face­book reviews, tes­ti­mo­ni­als that are shared through tweets are a great way to show feed­back from real individuals. 

It’s easy to nar­row your Twit­ter feed down to only show tes­ti­mo­ni­als. You can do this by using hash­tags or an advanced search to only dis­play tes­ti­mo­ni­als about you or your company.

The Cus­tom Twit­ter Feeds Pro plu­g­in has lots of oth­er great fea­tures as well. For instance, you might cre­ate a curat­ed list of Twit­ter accounts then dis­play this as a feed on your website. 

Plus, you can even auto­mat­i­cal­ly mod­er­ate tweets so that tweets con­tain­ing spec­i­fied words are hidden.

You can also use WPForms to run a sur­vey with beau­ti­ful reports. You could use this to show data about how your cus­tomers use your prod­ucts, what they like best, and how sat­is­fied they are.

4. Site Reviews

Site Reviews lets vis­i­tors sub­mit reviews with a 1 to 5 star rat­ing. With this plu­g­in, you can pin your best reviews or tes­ti­mo­ni­als so that they show up first.

It’s also pos­si­ble to mod­er­ate new review sub­mis­sions, approv­ing them before they go live on your site. This helps you pro­tect against unfair­ly bad reviews. Alter­na­tive­ly, you can require users to be logged into your site in order to leave a review.

Site Reviews lets you eas­i­ly respond to reviews, dis­play a sum­ma­ry, and more. The devel­op­ers pro­vide active sup­port through the WordPress.org sup­port forum for the plugin.
