Testimonial’s simple & clean dashboard

Supports text, images and video

Testimonial.to lets you collect text, image, and video testimonials from your customers. The latter is rarely seen on most restaurant websites.

People love watching short video clips, as seen in the popularity of TikTok and IG Reels. Showcasing video testimonials on your website will set you apart from other restaurants.

Other than text and video, you can gather reviews from pretty much anywhere. For example:

  • your social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter)
  • video hosting platforms (YouTube, Vimeo)
  • other review sites (Google Reviews, TripAdvisor)

You can then filter and select the best reviews to feature on your website.

You can also customise it any way you want, to match the look of your website.

Free

You can collect up to 2 video and 10 text testimonials on the free plan. It includes your own dedicated Testimonial page, and some third-party imports.

The free ‘Starter’ plan is enough to get you started. It’s a powerful way to connect with current customers. And show off to potential customers what others think about your business. This builds trust and, in turn, increases sales.

Testimonial Premium

Testimonial has three paid plans: Starter Plus, Premium, and Ultimate.

When you’re ready to upgrade, Testimonial’s ‘Starter’ plan is USD $20/month, and the ‘Premium’ is $50/month. This will get you unlimited testimonials and open up more advanced features.

I recommend getting the Premium plan at USD $50 per month for growing businesses.

Testimonial Premium benefits

How Testimonial’s paid plan benefits your restaurant: You can

  • Get unlimited text testimonials

  • Send loyalty rewards to your customers in exchange for their testimonials

A small price to pay in exchange for the value you will get.
