By combining reviews from various platforms, you can:

  • Leverage Social Proof Across Channels: Highlight positive feedback from multiple sources to reassure potential customers that your reputation extends beyond a single platform.
  • Maximize Visibility: Draw attention to reviews that might otherwise go unnoticed, especially if customers rely on different review platforms.
  • Create a Unified Brand Presence: Customize the widget’s appearance to align with your brand, ensuring all reviews are displayed in a consistent, professional style.

For instance, if your customers frequently leave reviews on Facebook and Google, combining these into a single widget or badge eliminates the need for visitors to search for feedback across multiple channels. This not only saves time but also ensures that your audience sees the best of your reviews in one place.

Additionally, Shapo’s advanced filtering options allow you to select which reviews are displayed, prioritizing the most impactful testimonials. Whether you choose to highlight five-star reviews or feature reviews tagged with specific keywords, you can tailor your badge to suit your marketing goals.

The result? A powerful, all-in-one trust badge that amplifies your credibility, enhances user trust, and increases conversions by showcasing your strong reputation across multiple platforms.
