Do you want to add a page for reviews to your WordPress site? Many companies include a customer reviews page on their website to display testimonials from happy clients. We’ll show you how to easily add a customer reviews page to your WordPress site in this article.
What’s the Point of Having a Customer Reviews Page in WordPress?
If you have an online store or a business website, you most likely already have customers who are satisfied with your goods and services.
Customer reviews and testimonials are examples of social proof that can help you gain the trust of new and potential customers.
A review page not only aids in the acquisition of new customers, but it also aids in the strengthening of existing relationships. It demonstrates your concern for your customers and puts them in the spotlight.
We have a customer reviews page at OptinMonster that highlights our customer success stories. It also enables us to speak with them and conduct full-fledged case studies.
Let’s look at how to easily create a reviews page on your WordPress site now that you understand the value of customer reviews.
In WordPress, create a page for customer reviews.
The Easy Testimonials plugin should first be installed and activated. See our detailed guide to installing a WordPress plugin for more information.
To configure the plugin settings, go to the Easy Testimonials Settings page after activation.
There are numerous settings available in the plugin. You can go over the settings and make changes as needed.
Keep in mind to just save your changes by clicking the save changes button.
To add customer reviews, navigate to Testimonials » Add New Testimonial.
Give the review a title, then write the review itself in the post editor. You can add a customer photo as the featured image and create or select a category.
Below the post editor, you’ll notice a testimonial information metabox. This is where you’ll enter information like the customer’s name, title, job description, and email address. You can also include a rating scale of 1 to 5.
Allow the review to be published. You can add as many customer testimonials as you want manually.
On a WordPress page, show customer reviews.
Easy Testimonials make adding customer reviews to your website a breeze.
To begin, edit or create a new WordPress page where you want to display customer reviews.
On the top of the post editor, you’ll notice a new testimonials button. When you click the button, a menu of options will appear. You can display reviews in a variety of ways, including a list, grid, single review, testimonial slider, and more.
When you select an option, a popup window will appear, allowing you to choose from a variety of options. You can customize the theme, the width of the reviews container, the filtering by category, and the display of star ratings, among other things.
The plugin will then add a shortcode to the post editor when you click the ‘Insert Now’ button.
Your page is now ready to be saved and published. Then go to your website to see how your reviews page works.
Using WordPress to Collect Customer Reviews
The majority of businesses collect customer feedback via email. This allows you to ask more personalized questions and request a photograph from customers. It also eliminates the need to deal with spam reviews.
However, you will need to upgrade to the pro version of the plugin if you want to collect reviews directly on your website.
After that, you can use the [submit testimonial] shortcode to display a ‘Submit your review’ form on a WordPress page.
You can see pending reviews under the testimonials section of the WordPress admin area once users submit a review. The testimonial can then be reviewed and edited before being published on your reviews page.
You can also use WPForms, a WordPress form plugin that comes with a Post Submissions Addon. It enables you to gather user-generated content, such as testimonials.
We hope that this article has shown you how to easily add a reviews page to your WordPress site.
