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?
Yes. Customers can upload photos alongside their video recording, and you can display them together on your website for maximum impact.
Does VideoTestimonials have lead generation features like Trustmary?
We focus on testimonial collection, display, and social proof rather than lead generation popups and NPS surveys. If testimonials are your priority, we offer more depth at a lower price.
Why is VideoTestimonials cheaper than Trustmary?
We are purpose-built for testimonials and social proof with flat pricing. Trustmary's usage-based model with paid add-ons (A/B testing, analytics, lead gen) can push costs well above $200/mo for comparable features.
Can I import my Google reviews?
Yes, we support importing from 20 review platforms including Google, Trustpilot, G2, Capterra, Yelp, and many more.
