Social Proof Skill

Purpose

Provides social proof patterns that build trust and increase conversions. Critical for lead generation sites to establish credibility through testimonials, reviews, trust badges, statistics, and client logos.

Core Rules

Specific over vague — "2,347 moves" not "thousands of moves"
Named over anonymous — "Sarah M., Clifton" not "Happy Customer"
Recent over old — Show dates, keep testimonials fresh
Verified over claimed — Google reviews > self-reported
Strategic placement — Trust before conversion points
Real numbers only — All stats must be verifiable
Name and location — Full attribution builds credibility
Address objections — Testimonials answer common concerns
Visual proof — Photos, badges, logos over text claims
Schema markup — Structured data for rich snippets
