FAQs for Home Services

How do I collect testimonials from homeowners who aren't tech-savvy?
VideoTestimonials is designed for simplicity — customers tap a link, see clear prompts, and press record. No app download, no account creation. If a customer prefers, they can leave a text testimonial instead.
Can I include before-and-after photos with video testimonials?
The form takes a video or written testimonial plus an optional profile photo, not job photos. Put your before-and-after photos on the service page beside the testimonial widget, or ask the homeowner to show the finished work on camera while they record.
Trustindex is much cheaper — why choose VideoTestimonials?
Trustindex is a review display tool — it aggregates and shows existing reviews from other platforms. VideoTestimonials is a testimonial collection tool — it helps you create new video and text testimonials, then display them. They solve different problems. Choose VideoTestimonials if you need to collect original testimonials.
Does Trustindex support more import sources?
Yes, Trustindex supports 133+ review platforms for import — significantly more than our 20. If your primary need is aggregating existing reviews from many platforms, Trustindex excels at this.
Can I use both tools together?
Yes. Some businesses use Trustindex for aggregating third-party reviews and VideoTestimonials for collecting original video testimonials. They serve complementary purposes.
