How to Add Reviews to Your WordPress Website

by | September 10, 2019

In their article on the importance of customer reviews, Forbes, citing a survey made by BrightLocal, claims that as much as 88% of the customers trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation. The Forbes article continues by stating that only 12% of the population doesn’t read the reviews regularly.

All that means that, whether your business is based entirely on the web, or you just use your website as a business card, you ought to let your clients share their opinion with other clients.

By doing so, you’ll have more credibility in front of those who are not familiar with your brand. What is more, assuming the reviews on your website are positive, those who are unsure whether they should do business with you, will have one more reason to do so. And a powerful one.
