04Your emailOptionalPrivate. For a thank-you or one follow-up question, never shown.
05How would you rate [Business]? (1 to 5 stars)RequiredA one-tap start, so the first step costs nothing.
06What were you dealing with before you found us?RequiredGives the story a starting point, which is what makes the change believable.
07What changed, and what can you do now that you couldn't before?RequiredThis is the question that carries the quote. Ask what changed rather than whether they liked you.
08Is there a number or a moment that shows the difference?OptionalOne real number or moment beats any adjective.
09Who would you recommend us to, and why?OptionalTells the next reader whether you are right for them.
10Add a photoOptionalA face adds trust. Last and optional, so it never blocks the send.

Permission line

“I agree that [Business] may show my testimonial, name, photo and company on its website and in its marketing. I can ask for it to be removed at any time.”

Building it in testimonials.ltd? Name, rating, testimonial, title, company, photo and a social link are built-in fields, and text and video sit on the same form. There is no separate permission checkbox, so put the permission line in your form's intro, where every reviewer reads it before they write.

What a good answer looks like

This is the shape of answer the standard template is built to pull out. It is written for illustration, with placeholders, so you can see what a usable quote reads like.

Example answer, written for illustration
Before
Our old site looked fine, but almost nobody booked a call from it.
What changed
The new homepage says exactly what we do, and the booking page is one click away from every section.
Number or moment
[Number] calls booked in the first [timeframe].

Ask for permission inside the form

A testimonial is a marketing claim with a real person's name on it. In the US, the FTC's Endorsement Guides expect it to reflect the customer's actual experience, and its 2024 rule bans fake testimonials, such as ones written by someone who never used the product.

Permission is a separate question. It covers using their name, words and face in your marketing. Asking for it inside the form gives you a dated yes from the person, in the same place as the quote.

Build it in the testimonials.ltd form editor

This is the real editor. You set the title and intro, pick your public link, choose text, video or both, and decide which fields are required. The preview on the right is the page your customer sees.

How to get a testimonial form finished

A good testimonial form asks five to seven questions and takes under three minutes: a rating, what the customer was dealing with before, what changed, one number or moment, and who they would recommend you to, followed by their details and a permission checkbox.

  1. Keep it to five to seven questions
    Count the rating and the open questions. Name, email, role, company and website are quick fields and sit outside that limit.
  2. Ask right after a win
    A delivered project, a first result, a renewal. The request email templates are sorted by those moments.
  3. Show one thing at a time
    A screen full of fields looks like homework, while a single question feels like a small favour.
  4. Let them talk instead of type
    Some people will record forty seconds and never write a paragraph.
  5. Send the link where they already are
    A thank-you email, a chat thread, a QR code on a receipt.

Testimonial form FAQ

What is a testimonial form?

A testimonial form is a short page you send to customers so they can leave a review in their own words, usually with a star rating, their name and, if they like, a photo or a short video. A good one asks one thing at a time and needs no account. It also holds each answer for your approval, so nothing goes on your site until you have read it.

Is there a free testimonial form template?

Yes. The testimonials.ltd testimonial form template is free to copy and needs no signup. It comes in three versions: a standard form of about two minutes, a short one for busy customers and a video-first one. Each lists the fields, says which are required and ends with a permission line you can paste into any form tool.

What questions should a testimonial form ask?

Ask what the customer was dealing with before, what changed afterwards, and whether there is a number or moment that shows the difference. Finish with who they would recommend you to. Open questions about change produce quotes you can use. Questions like "How satisfied were you?" usually get a one-word answer.

How many questions should a testimonial form have?

Five or six at most, including the rating. Two or three open questions are usually enough for a strong quote, and name and photo can sit at the end as optional fields. Each extra required field lowers the number of people who finish, so cut anything you would not show on your site.

What should a testimonial say?

A useful testimonial says what the customer was dealing with before, what changed after working with you, and one concrete detail that proves it, such as a number, a deadline met or the moment they noticed the difference. It is written in their own words and signed with their real name. Praise without a before and after reads as generic, which is why a good testimonial form asks for the change instead of a verdict.

How do I ask a customer for a testimonial?

Ask soon after a win, such as a delivered project, a first result or a renewal, and keep the ask short. Send one link to a testimonial request form so the customer can answer in a minute without making an account. testimonials.ltd has more than 100 free request email templates sorted by business type and moment, plus a generator that writes the email for you.

Where can I get testimonials?

From the customers you already have. The best moments are right after a delivered project, a first result, a renewal or a happy support reply. Send a testimonial form link by email, chat or a QR code, and collect Google reviews alongside it with a review link. Every answer you approve can then go on your site as a wall of love or a carousel.

Do customers need an account to fill in a testimonial form?

Customers should not need an account, and on testimonials.ltd they don't. The customer opens your link, taps a star, writes a line or records a short video, adds their name and presses send. On Google Forms, a file upload question makes the respondent sign in to a Google account, which is worth knowing before you ask for photos or videos there.

Can customers record a video testimonial on the form?

Yes, when you turn video on for the form. They can record straight from the browser on a phone or laptop, or upload a clip they already have, and the same form can take text from anyone who would rather type. Text testimonials are unlimited on every plan. Video uses your plan's video slots.

How do I get permission to use a testimonial?

Ask for it inside the form, at the moment the customer writes the quote. The testimonials.ltd template ends with a ready-made permission line covering their words, name, photo and company. On testimonials.ltd, put that line in the form's intro so every reviewer reads it before they start. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can I use Google Forms as a testimonial form?

You can. Google Forms is free and collects the words well. What it does not do is hold answers for approval or put them on your website: replies land in a sheet, and you copy the good ones into your page by hand. A file upload question also needs the customer to sign in to Google.

What happens after someone submits a testimonial form?

On testimonials.ltd it arrives in your queue as Pending. You read it, approve it, and it appears in every widget on your site. If a customer starts writing and leaves without sending, their partial answer is kept in an Almost left a review list, so you can follow up with one short message.

Can I get a testimonial form as a PDF?

Yes. Copy any version of the testimonials.ltd template into a document and save it as a PDF to print. A paper form works at a counter or an event. For everyday use, a link or a QR code is easier, because the answer arrives typed and ready for your approval instead of waiting to be retyped.

The form is half the job. Asking is the other half.
