Managing Testimonials Effectively

Learn how to moderate, organize, and showcase customer testimonials using Retold.me

What You'll Learn

This guide covers all aspects of testimonial management, from moderation to publishing and analytics.

Overview

Managing testimonials is a crucial aspect of maintaining trust and authenticity with your audience. Retold.me provides comprehensive tools to help you moderate, organize, and showcase testimonials while maintaining quality and relevance.

Our platform follows a zero-friction principle for submitters while giving you full control over the moderation and display process, ensuring that only appropriate testimonials are published.

Testimonial Moderation

1

Review New Submissions

All testimonials go through a moderation queue in your dashboard. Navigate to the Testimonials section to review new submissions before they go live.

Tip: Regularly check your moderation queue to ensure timely processing of testimonials.

2

Publish, Hide, or Delete

For each testimonial, you can choose to publish it (making it visible to the public), hide it (keeping it in your records but not displaying it), or delete it entirely.

3

Bulk Actions

When you have many testimonials to moderate, use the bulk actions feature to approve, hide, or delete multiple testimonials at once.

Organization and Filtering

Efficiently manage your testimonials with our organization and filtering tools:

Advanced Filtering

Filter testimonials by status (published, hidden, pending), date range, submission method, or specific customer details to quickly find what you need.

Status Management

Easily track the status of each testimonial (pending, published, hidden) and change statuses as needed based on your moderation workflow.

Creating and Managing Widgets

Widgets allow you to showcase your testimonials on your website or other platforms:

Creating a Widget

Navigate to the Widgets section in your dashboard to create a new widget. Choose the layout style, theme, number of testimonials to display, and other customization options.

Customizing Appearance

Configure the look and feel of your widget to match your brand. Adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and layout to seamlessly integrate with your website design.

Embedding on Your Site

Use the embed code generator to get the HTML snippet for your widget. Copy and paste it into your website where you want testimonials to appear.

Security and Privacy Controls

Data Protection

All testimonials are stored securely with encryption. We follow industry best practices for data protection and privacy.
