Homeowners hire contractors they trust. Collect and display genuine testimonials from past clients — and close more jobs before competitors even get a call.
When a homeowner searches for a contractor — plumber, roofer, electrician, landscaper — they're not just comparing prices. They're trying to figure out who they can trust inside their home.
Most contractors rely on word-of-mouth referrals and Google reviews. But reviews live on Google's platform, not yours. A competitor with more reviews on their own website — in their own words, with real client names — wins the first impression every time.
The good news: collecting those testimonials is easier than you think. You just need to ask at the right moment and make it simple enough that clients actually follow through.
Collect testimonials about specific jobs — kitchen remodel, roof replacement, electrical panel upgrade. Specificity builds trust better than generic praise.
Your collection link works via SMS. When the job is done and the client is happy, send a quick text. Most responses come in within 24 hours.
Every testimonial goes to a moderation queue. You decide what appears on your site — no surprise negative comments going public.
One line of code. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or any custom site. No developer needed.
Every completed job is a chance to build your testimonial library. Over time, you accumulate a body of social proof that compounds your credibility.
One active widget, unlimited testimonials collected — free as long as you want. No trial period, no credit card required to start.
Create your free account at SocialProof. You instantly get a permanent link you can send to any client — via text, email, invoice, or even a printed QR code on your truck door.
Start with clients from the last 3 months who were satisfied with your work. A simple "Hey — mind leaving a quick review?" text with the link is enough. Most reply within a day.
Review each testimonial, approve the ones you want to display, then paste one line of code onto your website. Your testimonials appear automatically — no more manual updates.
Google Reviews are powerful, but they belong to Google. If Google suspends your account, changes their algorithm, or removes reviews it flags as suspicious, you lose everything you built.
With SocialProof, your testimonials live in your account and display on your website. You own them. They build trust directly on your site — where the actual decision to hire you happens.
Smart contractors do both: keep building Google reviews AND collect direct testimonials for their site. Two channels, double the social proof.
