Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using video testimonials in 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.
How do I use testimonials to rank higher in local search?
Embed testimonial videos on your service area pages. Video content increases time on site and engagement metrics that Google considers for local rankings. Your Wall of Love page also adds indexable content.
What if a customer gives a great testimonial but mentions a minor issue?
You review every testimonial before publishing. You can choose not to publish it, or you can publish it as-is — sometimes a small acknowledged issue makes the overall positive review feel more authentic.
