Testimonials widget For Elementor 1.0.1

To add a testimonials widget to your Elementor site in 2026, you can use the native Elementor widgets or one of the top-rated third-party addon packs.

Here is a breakdown of the best ways to display social proof and build trust with your visitors.

1. Elementor Native Widgets (Free & Pro)

Elementor provides two main ways to display customer reviews without any additional plugins.

Testimonial Widget (Free): A simple, static widget that includes a text area, an image (avatar), a name, and a job title. Best for single, high-impact quotes.

Testimonial Carousel (Pro): A powerful, rotating slider that allows you to display multiple reviews in a space-saving layout.

Key Features: Multiple "skins" (Default or Bubble), slide transitions, infinite loops, and pagination (dots, fractions, or progress bars).

2. Top-Rated Third-Party Addons

If you need more advanced layouts, star ratings, or automated review importing, these addons are the industry leaders for 2026:

💡 Pro Tips for Better Testimonials

Use Real Faces: Testimonials with a clear user photo have a significantly higher conversion rate than text-only versions.

Add Star Ratings: Most third-party widgets allow you to toggle on a Star Rating (1-5 stars), which provides an instant visual cue of quality.

Schema Markup: Ensure your widget supports Review Schema. This helps search engines like Google display your "star" rating directly in search results (Rich Snippets).

Video Testimonials: In 2026, video social proof is more popular than ever. Look for widgets like WiserReview or Spider Elements that allow you to embed video pop-ups within the testimonial card.

How to add a basic Testimonial:

Search for "Testimonial" in the Elementor Widget panel.

Drag and drop the widget onto your page.

In the Content tab, add your text, name, and upload a 100x100px avatar image.

In the Style tab, adjust the typography and give the image a Border Radius (set to 100 for a circle).
