CRO: What is Social Proof?
Definition #1: Social proof is a psychological phenomenon
where people assume the actions of others in an attempt to
reflect correct behavior for a given situation.
Definition #2: Social proof is the art of creating positive

peers, experts and third parties for cues that guide our own
behavior.
In other words:
“Oh! That looks good! I’ll have what he’s having!”

Social proof helps convert visitors by building trust and
authority.
• Over 70% of Americans say they look at product reviews
before making a purchase.
• Nearly 63% of consumers indicate they are more likely to
purchase from a site if it has product ratings and reviews.
CRO: Examples of Social Proof

• Trust icons (3rd party endorsements, SSL certificate, client
logos)
• Data/numbers
• User generated content (blog, social media, video reviews)
