How to Use the Testimonial Element
What Is the Testimonial Element?
The Testimonial Element is a feature in the CRM’s website and funnel builder that lets you display customer feedback directly on your pages. It offers flexible layouts, card styles, and customization options to help you build trust and reinforce your brand by showcasing curated client experiences.
Unlike automated review widgets that pull from external platforms, the Testimonial Element is designed for manually entered content, giving you full control over what appears and how it looks.
