What is Social Proof?
It is based on an idea called “normative social behaviour”. This assumes that people will conform to be liked or accepted by an influencer.
When visitors to your website see others making purchases or signing up for a free ebook or training, it helps them make a decision by feeling confident about their choices.
Social proof is not only crucial in person but also online.
The majority of people who are making a purchase online will do so with the help of social proof – whether that be testimonials, reviews or social media shares.
Social proof builds trust and credibility for your brand by showing others what you offer and how it can benefit them.
As a new site visitor or a new user of your product, these social proofs shared on your website beforehand can help sway your customer to convert.
When “social proof” is established on your website, the following benefits will be seen:
– Better SEO
– The more written content about a topic, the higher its search ranking.
-Social media shares and testimonials are real-world examples of user-generated content which can positively impact your site's SERP's (Search Engine Result Pages)
There are six different styles of “social proof” commonly used on websites today.
- Case Studies
- Testimonials
- Reviews
- Social Media
- Data/Numbers
