What Is the Testimonials Widget?
A testimonials widget renders customer quotes in a carousel, grid, or single-feature layout. Unlike Google Reviews (which is auto-pulled), testimonials let you curate exactly which quotes appear — useful when you have written reviews from email or text that aren't on Google yet.
Key Benefits
- Layouts: rotating carousel, masonry grid, single-feature hero, sidebar quote
- Source: CSV upload, JSON file, or live CRM webhook
- Optional photo, location, project type, and star rating per quote
- Schema.org Review markup for SEO rich-result eligibility
- Mobile-optimized — carousels swipe naturally on touch
