- Advise related products to customers.Refer to another (web) shop, which sells related products that you do not offer. It enhances the user experience and provides opportunities to barter and reach a new audience.
- Create your own review videos or ask customers to send in their video reviews.Amateur videos generate trust with the customer.
2. Conversion
- Create a table in which your products are compared.This enhances the customer experience and conversion. This way customers do not have to click between pages.
- Product Comparisons can also be applied in the shopping basket to create an up-sell moment.

- Ensure reviews also appear if you have JavaScript disabled, otherwise the search engines can’t index these reviews.
- Don’t load reviews in an iframe.Search engines load this as a separate page.
Companies are increasingly dominating the reviews. They post fake reviews to create a fake-image. Trust is hard to get and a bad reputation spreads 10 times faster than a good reputation.
