How do I ask a client for a testimonial without it feeling awkward?

SayWall handles the awkward part for you. Share a branded collection form link at the end of a project — frame it as a quick reflection on their experience, not a favour to you. The NPS-first flow leads with a simple star rating (one click) before asking for words, which dramatically lowers resistance. Most clients who rate 4–5 stars then happily write a few sentences.

How do I show testimonials on my portfolio website?

Copy the SayWall embed snippet and paste it into your portfolio's HTML. Works on Webflow, Squarespace, Framer, WordPress, and any custom site. Choose a Grid widget for a wall-of-love section, a Carousel for the hero, or a Badge for your navigation bar showing your aggregate rating.

Can I have a public testimonials page to send to prospects?

Yes. Every SayWall project gets a public review page at a shareable URL. Send it to prospects as part of your proposal — 'Here's what my past clients say about working with me.' The page shows all your approved testimonials in a clean, professional layout without any SayWall branding.

Can I collect testimonials from clients who aren't tech-savvy?

The collection form is designed to be dead simple — a link opens a clean form in any browser, no account or app needed. You can configure it to ask only the fields you need (e.g. just name and testimonial text), keeping it short and frictionless for non-technical clients.

Do I need a website to use SayWall?

No. SayWall's public review page gives you a professional testimonials URL you can share even without a personal website. You can link to it from your LinkedIn, email signature, Contra/Upwork profile, or anywhere prospects might research you. When you're ready to build a site, the embed widgets are waiting.

How many testimonials can I collect on the free plan?

The free Starter plan supports up to 16 reviews and 2 widgets. For freelancers ready to grow beyond the free plan, Upgrading to Pro ($9/mo) removes testimonial limits and unlocks all widget types, embed modes, and video collection.

Can I organize testimonials by service type or client industry?

You can manually add tags and curate which testimonials appear in each widget. Create separate widgets for different service types — e.g. one for web design clients and one for branding clients — and embed each on the relevant portfolio page. This lets prospects see testimonials most relevant to the service they're considering.

What if a client leaves a testimonial on Google — can I use it?

Yes. SayWall can import from Google Reviews and Trustpilot. Once imported, those reviews appear in your dashboard and can be displayed in any widget, just like testimonials collected directly through SayWall.
