What is the Testimonials Element?

The Testimonial Element allows users to display customer feedback directly within funnel or website pages. It provides flexible layout styles, card formatting, and content customization. This helps businesses build trust and reinforce their brand by showcasing real experiences from happy clients.

Unlike the Review Widget, which automatically pulls reviews from third-party platforms like Google or Facebook, the Testimonial Element is designed for manually entered feedback. This gives users full control over the content, order, and appearance of each testimonial. The Testimonial Element is ideal for curated quotes, in-depth client stories, or brand-specific messaging.
