Quick answer
What questions should I ask for a testimonial?
Ask three or four testimonial questions that pull a story: the problem before they found you, why they chose you, one specific result, and what they would tell someone on the fence. Customer testimonial questions work when they name a real outcome. Client testimonial questions can mention the project. Video interview questions can be a few more and should sound like a conversation, not a quiz.
- 01
Ask for a story, not praise
"Would you recommend us?" gets a yes. "What was broken before, and what changed?" gets a quote you can publish.
- 02
Send three or four, not 25
A written form needs one problem question, one result, and one recommendation. Video can hold five to seven interview prompts.
- 03
Name the outcome you want
If you care about time saved, ask about time. Generic customer testimonial questions get generic answers.
- 04
Make most fields optional
Required walls of boxes raise drop-off. Optional client testimonial questions produce longer replies because people feel in control.
- 05
Put them on a form
Email the ask, then send people to a Prooflet collection page with the same prompts, a photo, and consent.
Testimonial questions FAQ
Start with four: the problem before they found you, why they chose you, one specific result, and what they would tell someone on the fence. That set works as customer testimonial questions, client testimonial questions, or a short video interview. Add more only for a case study.
Three or four for a written form. Two for a quick social-proof line. Five to seven for a video interview. Twenty-five questions is how you get zero answers.
Yes. Ask them to introduce themselves, explain what you do in their words, tell one moment that mattered, and speak to someone on the fence. Keep it conversational. Send the prompts a day ahead so they are not thinking on camera.
Use email to ask. Use a form to capture the answer with a name, photo, and permission. Paste the starter set into a Prooflet collection form so you are not copying replies out of an inbox.
