Social Proof

Build credibility by showing real-time activity notifications to visitors.

Social Proof displays toast notifications showing recent activity on your site — signups, purchases, reviews, and more. This creates urgency and builds trust with new visitors.

Social proof can increase conversions by 15% or more. People trust what others are doing.

How It Works

  1. You add sample notifications to your dashboard
  2. Notifications appear one by one on your site
  3. Each shows a name, location, and action taken
  4. Visitors see that real people are using your product

Page Targeting

Control which pages show social proof.

OptionDescription
Target PagesOnly show on these pages (empty = all)
Exclude PagesNever show on these pages

Wildcard Patterns

/pricing/*        → matches /pricing/pro, /pricing/enterprise
*/checkout        → matches /en/checkout, /fr/checkout
/about            → matches exactly /about

Recommended:

  • Target: /pricing, /, /features
  • Exclude: /checkout/*, /dashboard/*, /blog/*

Best Practices

  1. Use realistic data — Believable names and locations build trust
  2. Mix it up — Variety in names/locations feels more authentic
  3. Don't overdo frequency — Every 10-15 seconds is plenty
  4. Match your audience — Use locations where your customers actually are
  5. Keep it subtle — Social proof should enhance, not distract
