In a split second, they answer the question \u201cAm I in the right place?\u201d Just don\u2019t get too clever or overly branded in your &lt;h1&gt; header and you\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n<p>The second part is hard.<\/p>\n<p>You need to show proof that you\u2019re good.

If you don\u2019t, your conversion rate (and the CTA clickthrough rates) will be low.<\/p>\n<h2>First, a quick credibility check\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Look at your homepage or any of your key pages. Now ask yourself: <em>if a start-up competitor formed today, how much of this page could be on their site?<\/em> In other words, how much of your page is unique to your brand? Twenty percent? Fifty percent?<\/p>\n<p>Often, evidence is the only difference between you and a just-born start-up.<\/p>\n<p>On many of the top-converting webpages, <strong>one-third to one-half of the page is evidence<\/strong>. On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\">Orbit\u2019s own homepage<\/a>, 45% of the pixel height is evidence. The page is 1600 pixels high and 700 pixels of that height is proof.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unsupported-claims.png\" alt=\"Comparison of two website designs: one labeled as lacking credibility with minimal content, and the other loaded with evidence like logos, awards, and testimonials to enhance credibility.\" width=\"800\" height=\"753\" \/>You can add all kinds of evidence to your webpages.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some are <strong>qualitative<\/strong> like testimonials; others are <strong>quantitative<\/strong> like ROI metrics.<\/li>\n<li>Some are <strong>internal validation<\/strong> that you generate yourself; others <strong>external validation<\/strong> and come from third parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using those factors on a matrix, let\u2019s plot the various types of webpage evidence:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49883\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/types-evidences.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram titled &quot;Types of Evidence on Web Pages&quot; categorizing evidence as internal\/external and qualitative\/quantitative, with examples like testimonials, case studies, certifications, and impact metrics.\" width=\"800\" height=\"556\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019ll look closely at each. Here\u2019s the list of the 14 credibility builders that appear on webpages. At the end of this post, we\u2019ll share <strong>an AI audit prompt <\/strong>for evaluating the use of evidence on your pages.<\/p>\n<h2>14 types of evidence on web pages<\/h2>\n<p>Evidence is persuasive for a variety of psychological reasons. Some are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/blog\/social-proof-web-design\/\">social proof<\/a> and trigger the <strong>conformity bias<\/strong> (\u201cOthers like them? They must be good.\u201d) Others associate your brand with trusted players, triggering the <strong>halo effec<\/strong>t and the a<strong>uthority principle<\/strong>. Others work because they are visually prominent, triggering the <strong>Von Restorff effect<\/strong>. Trust badges stand out.<\/p>\n<p>They are all forms of differentiation. They separate your brand from the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 14 of the most common types of evidence found on webpages, along with tips for how and where to use them.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Testimonials<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the basics. Testimonials are powerful because they change the messenger for those key messages. When you say it, it\u2019s marketing. When they say it it\u2019s social proof. Really, anything within quotes is more credible. Quotation marks are the most powerful key on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/blog\/how-to-write-testimonials-examples\/\">our guide on effective testimonials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add the name, face, job title, company name and logo. If they won\u2019t give permission to use their name or company, so be it. Use the testimonial anyway. Anonymous testimony is better than no testimony at all. Your visitor may understand and appreciate that you respect the anonymity of your clients.<\/li>\n<li>Use testimonials with keywords in them. A keyword-focused testimonial helps both traffic and conversions. Cheese and mousetrap!<\/li>\n<li>Make the testimonial a video.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sliders, because they hide all but the first testimonial. Instead, stack your testimonials vertically. Because scrolling is easier than clicking.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid making a testimonials page. Testimonials pages tend to get skipped. Instead, put them on your most visited pages. Ideally, the testimonial appears next to the assertion it supports.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid making \u201cwhat our clients say\u201d as the subhead above the testimonials. Why make the most visually prominent test generic and vague? Instead, make the most compelling few words in the testimonial into the subhead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/video-testimonials.png\" alt=\"Comparison of two customer testimonial layouts. Top: vague header, tiny text, hidden image, testimonial downplayed. Bottom: impactful header, quotation marks, video with visible person, highlighted keywords.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"487\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If they slow down and read or watch the testimonial, great. If not, they still saw the best part of the testimonial.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/nancy-harhut.png\" alt=\"Person with short dark hair and glasses, wearing a black blazer and striped shirt, smiling at the camera.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Nancy Harhut, Author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Using-Behavioral-Science-Marketing-Instinctive\/dp\/1398606480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Using Behavioral Science in Marketing<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;Choose a testimonial that expresses some doubt. Your readers have doubts, that\u2019s why they\u2019re checking out the testimonials. If they see one that starts with their concern and ends with it being resolved, they\u2019ll find the reassurance they need.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/joel-kletke.png\" alt=\"Man wearing glasses and a red plaid shirt, smiling at the camera.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Joel Klettke, <a href=\"https:\/\/businesscasualcopywriting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Casual Copywriting<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;Try to choose testimonials that go beyond a platitude, like &#8220;They&#8217;re great!&#8221; and instead choose testimonials that speak to specific parts of your value or offer, especially if you&#8217;ve recently made a claim about what you can deliver or how you are different. And you can bold these parts of the testimonial to draw attention to them for scanners and quickly support claims.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>2. Client logos<\/h3>\n<p>For service providers, these are a strong form of evidence. They stand out with color and prove you\u2019ve been trusted by other brands. The more well-known their brand, the better. But even logos of unknown brands can build confidence. Put these up high on your most popular pages. That often means above the fold on the homepage.<\/p>\n<p>Logos can also build trust in a content program. Here\u2019s how Jay Acunzo uses logos to promote <a href=\"https:\/\/jayacunzo.com\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/jay-acunzo-newsletter.png\" alt=\"Logos of companies like Shopify, BBC, Salesforce, LinkedIn, and others with a highlighted text: &quot;Is Jay Acunzo\u2019s newsletter good? People from these trusted brands have subscribed!.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Third-Party reviews<\/h3>\n<p>Stars stand out. And reviews aren\u2019t just for ecommerce. B2B service providers get reviewed on Google, G2, Clutch, Trustpilot, Capterra and Glassdoor.<\/p>\n<p>Most review sites have badges that show the aggregate star rating of those reviews. Adding this badge to your page turns your reviews into a trust seal. If they don\u2019t offer a badge, have a designer simply make an image. Put it high up on a high-traffic page.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what it looks like on our site:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/badge-ratings.png\" alt=\"Ratings display: Google 4.8 stars, Clutch 4.9 stars, Glassdoor 4.9 stars.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"177\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/nancy-harhut.png\" alt=\"Person with short dark hair and glasses, wearing a black blazer and striped shirt, smiling at the camera.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Nancy Harhut, Author of Using Behavioral Science in Marketing<\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;And don&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t have 5 stars.

A less than perfect rating is more believable.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>4. Case studies\/success stories<\/h3>\n<p>These little stories explain the problem you solve and the impact of the solution. Yes, they can convince your visitor. But they have another hidden purpose: <strong>case studies help your visitor convince other people on the buying committee<\/strong>. Often in B2B, your website visitor isn\u2019t the only decision maker.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips for more effective case studies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Link to them thoughtfully from relevant pages. They\u2019re job is to support those key pages.<\/li>\n<li>Make them webpages, not just PDFs. The PDF version is just an alternate, print-friendly version. PDFs are number nine on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/blog\/remove-from-your-site\/\">our list of things to remove from your website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>For the case study title, don\u2019t just name it after the client. Your visitor may not recognize the client name. Put the impact statement into the title of the case study, <strong>so visitors see the impact, even if they don\u2019t click<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/procorp-inc.jpg\" alt=\"Comparison of two website case study titles: on the left, a vague title described as ineffective; on the right, a specific title with measurable impact described as effective.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"491\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/joel-kletke.png\" alt=\"Man wearing glasses and a red plaid shirt, smiling at the camera.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Joel Klettke, Business Casual Copywriting<\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;Consider testing headlines that include \u2018How\u2019 such as \u2018How to get X result, how X client achieved Y result, etc.\u2019 A teaser that feels like the lead is going to get something prescriptive, detailed, or a recipe for success can be an attractive click through.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>5. Impact Metrics and Data<\/h3>\n<p>Simply show the quantifiable impact of your work. Use whatever ROI data you can find. Measure the average value across your clients and projects (time saved, dollars earned, etc.) and put it in a pageblock.<\/p>\n<p>Make it relevant to the page and the content nearby. For example, a page that showcases your work for an industry shows stats for your work in that industry. Here\u2019s another example from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/bank-website-design\/\">a page on the Orbit website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bank-data.png\" alt=\"Infographic displaying bank industry expertise: 11+ years experience, 50+ web experts, 20.6% average increase in client conversion rates.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"437\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6. Awards<\/h3>\n<p>Show \u2018em if you got \u2018em. Putting that little badge on your site may be the main benefit of winning the award. That badge is a thousand times more visible than the trophy in your office. Here\u2019s what the awards pageblock looks like on our website. It\u2019s very simple.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/nancy-harhut.png\" alt=\"Person with short dark hair and glasses, wearing a black blazer and striped shirt, smiling at the camera.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Nancy Harhut, Author of Using Behavioral Science in Marketing<\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;Awards trigger the Authority Principle, which is your prospects&#8217; instinct to trust what authorities say. In this case, they find it more believable than when you say the same thing yourself. Because your prospects expect you to say you&#8217;re good. But when an outside expert does by recognizing you with an award, that carries more weight.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<p>But don\u2019t hide your award badges on a separate awards page. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/about\/awards\/\">awards page is nice<\/a>, but it\u2019s probably not a popular page. The key is to make the award visible..<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Put your best evidence on your highest-traffic pages. Put billboards on highways.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Where to put your trust badges<\/h4>\n<p>Remember, if your site is optimized for search, you have many pages optimized for many phrases. So lots of qualified visitors will never see your homepage. So put trust seals all over the place. Here are seven places to put trust seals:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>High on the homepage<\/li>\n<li>Service pages<\/li>\n<li>About Us page<\/li>\n<li>Contact Us page<\/li>\n<li>Awards page<\/li>\n<li>Website footer<\/li>\n<li>Email signatures<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Of course, if the award is specific to a certain type of visitor, put it where they\u2019ll see it. Your. \u201cGreat Places to Work\u201d award goes on your careers page.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Expert endorsements<\/h3>\n<p>An endorsement is simply a testimonial from someone whom your prospect knows and trusts. It could be a well-known subject matter expert or influencer.<\/p>\n<p>They trigger a cognitive bias called the halo effect. The visitor has a positive impression of the influencer, which rubs off on your brand.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/melanie-deziel.png\" alt=\"A person with long brown hair and red lipstick smiles, wearing a black top with a blurred background.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Melanie Deziel, Author of <a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/hSQHcVJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prove It: Exactly How Modern Marketers Earn Trust<\/a><\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;Consider your influencer&#8217;s area of authority and the content of their endorsement when choosing where you&#8217;ll place it on your website. For example, a quote about a specific transformational employee interaction could signal customer satisfaction on your home page, but it could also provide evidence for your career page, corroborating claims about the impact your team members have on their community.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Paid endorsements are obvious advertising. But content marketers often collaborate with influencers on podcasts, events and webinars. These collaborations often lead to long-term partnerships, where the brand and the influencers are co-creating and co-promoting content together over time. In this context, a quick testimonial quote from the influencer is perfectly natural \u2026.and an endorsement is born.<\/p>\n<p>From networking to collaboration to partnership to friendship to endorsement. It happens everyday. So keep networking. Collaborate whenever possible. And don\u2019t be shy asking a semi-famous friend for a favor.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Certifications, Accreditations<\/h3>\n<p>More opportunities to add a trust seal: certifications, licenses, accreditations, standards compliance or any other credential. If your brand has any of these, add the badge to your key pages.<\/p>\n<p>You might not think the certification is impressive, but it\u2019s not about you, it\u2019s about your visitor.<\/p>\n<p>Orbit is a certified B Corp and we put the badge in our website footer so you can see it on every page. We\u2019ve been certified for more than 10 years, so we mentioned this near the trust seal. We also made a page all about it. It\u2019s an example of how to <strong>go beyond the badge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/orbit-bcorp.png\" alt=\"Certified B Corporation logo with text about being a Chicago B Corp for over 10 years, emphasizing environmental and social responsibility. Three highlighted sections explain certification details.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>9. Media mentions, event participation<\/h3>\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of a press hit? Adding the \u201cas seen in\u201d logo to your website. Press is fleeting. It comes and goes in a day. But that logo is durable. You can keep that logo on your site for years<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t wait for the press to call? Pitch a guest post to a blog that your prospects trust. If you sponsored an industry event, add the event logo to your site. Any logo of any third party can help.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Years in business, size of operation<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve met big companies with global reach that look like little startups online. Why? They are missing credibility elements. They fail to mention longevity and scale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been in business?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf yours is an established firm with years of history, put this into your web copy. Better yet, make it a subhead. Best of all, use it in an H1 header on your about page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have many locations?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf yours is a national or global firm, make sure that\u2019s obvious to visitors. Don\u2019t wait for them to click on your contact page to show that you have offices everywhere. Make a page block showing your many locations. Maybe with a map. Add it to every page just above the footer.<\/p>\n<p>Your years in business, your geographic reach, even the size of your team. These are all ways to set your brand apart. But it only works if you make these basic facts obvious at a glance.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Number of happy clients, successful projects, etc.<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we\u2019ll look for opportunities to show the scope of our work and the scale of our impact.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How many companies has your brand worked with?<\/li>\n<li>How many businesses have you helped?<\/li>\n<li>How many projects have you done?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally stories (qualitative evidence) are more persuasive than stats (qualitative evidence) but your website has to speak to everyone. For some visitors, one look at that big number and they\u2019re a believer.<\/p>\n<p>Look for the big numbers. They\u2018re different for every business in every industry. Check out these examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/service-evidence.jpg\" alt=\"Table showing industries, services, and evidence: Civil Engineering, Government Software, Payment Processing, with services and corresponding achievements for each.\" width=\"800\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td style=\"min-width: 130px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/melaniedeziel.png\" alt=\"Black and white image of a person with a ponytail, smiling and crossing their arms, framed in a circular teal border on a light pink background.\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/td>\n<td>\n<h6>Melanie Deziel, Author of Prove It: Exactly How Modern Marketers Earn Trust<\/h6>\n<p><em>&#8220;If you&#8217;re just starting out and don&#8217;t yet have hundreds of clients or thousands of projects to point to, look for other relevant data points that can signal the scale and impact of the work you do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If your civil engineering firm hasn&#8217;t paved an impressive number of roads yet, you might say: \u2018The roads we&#8217;ve paved in Raleigh provide safe transport for 70,000+ drivers each day.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Or if your government software only has a few contracts, you might frame it this way instead: \u2018Our software helps Wake County serve its 1.1 Million residents.&#8221;<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>12. Team credentials<\/h3>\n<p>Think about your staff. Start with those front line team members and leadership. What credentials do they have? Ask around. Anything on their LinkedIn profiles? Take a look. See anything interesting? Any certifications, advanced degrees, publications, memberships or patents?<\/p>\n<p>Now look at their profiles on your website. Do you have a page for each person? Do these bio pages showcase all of those credentials? Do they sparkle with credibility? If not, keep polishing them. These pages probably get a steady stream of traffic. They may even rank for those people\u2019s names.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the team tenure is a credential all its own. Here\u2019s how we showcase the longevity of the team on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/about\/team-bios\/\">the Orbit team page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/team-tenure.png\" alt=\"A breakdown of team tenure and experience: 7.8+ years average tenure, 30% with 10+ years, 58% with 5+ years. Four team members are pictured with names and years of experience.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"586\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>13. Association memberships<\/h3>\n<p>Being a member of an association can have some digital marketing benefits. If the association has a directory that links to members or a blog that members can write for, that\u2019s good for SEO and referral traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The badge is the other benefit. Add the logo of the association to your website and you have another badge. Add it to a trust seal pageblock or put it in the footer. It shows you business is part of a community.<\/p>\n<h3>14. Charitable contributions<\/h3>\n<p>This is a different kind of evidence. Rather than prove you do good work, it proves you\u2019re doing good in the world. It shows you care.<\/p>\n<p>Charity work is evidence that your brand is ethical and trustworthy. It may also align with the visitor&#8217;s values for CSR (corporate social responsibility). Being charitable can trigger both the halo effect and the reciprocity bias.<\/p>\n<p>Brands don\u2019t do philanthropy to improve website conversion rates.<br \/>\nBut brands that do philanthropy shouldn\u2019t miss the chance to showcase this in their marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick example: every year, together with our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalthirdcoast.com\/\">Digital Third Coast<\/a>, we donate our services to a Chicago-area nonprofit. We\u2019ve done this for 12 years and we call it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/about\/chicago-cause\/\">Chicago Cause<\/a>. We don\u2019t do it for the marketing benefits, but we do highlight it on our website with a nice pageblock.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/chicago-cause-giving-back.png\" alt=\"A group of people, including adults and children, pose with bags of collected trash during a beach cleanup event. A sign mentions donations over $800,000 to Chicago nonprofits.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"475\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the trust boost for visitors, a program like this can generate a bit of social media buzz, get attention from journalists and attract links from blogs. But the real reason to do it is to give back. Pick a cause that aligns with your team&#8217;s values and go make a difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More types of evidence\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nThe list goes on. Beyond these, you can build trust by highlighting industry research reports, Gartner Quadrants and Forrester Wave reports. You can showcase patents, give live demos and offer guarantees. In your content program, you can make your blog look more credible by showing the number of email subscribers or social media followers.<\/p>\n<p>Add anything that shows your brand is legitimate, and then\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Test your evidence with this AI prompt<\/h2>\n<p>A good way to measure the credibility of your page is to count the number of unsupported marketing claims. Literally read the text and count the number of assertions the page makes. These are typically the benefit statements. Next look at the supportive evidence. Does it match up with the claims? Are all the claims supported?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an audit prompt that makes this quick and easy. Load this in your favorite AI tool along with a full-page screenshot of a key page. It\u2019s important to use a screenshot rather than a link because we want the AI to \u201csee\u201d the page, including those trust badges.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You are a conversion optimization expert, skilled at using evidence to support marketing messages. The following are types of evidence that can be added to webpages: testimonials, client logos, third-party reviews, case studies, impact metrics, awards, expert endorsements, certifications\/accreditations, media mentions\/event participation, years in business\/size of operation, number of happy clients\/successful projects, team credentials, association memberships, charitable contributions.<\/p>\n<p>The attached image is a screenshot of a webpage. Rate the extent to which the page does and does not use supportive evidence. Which marketing claims are unsupported? Show your thinking.<\/p>\n<p>[attach a full page screenshot of a page in the persona chat, or attach the persona]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The AI will rate the use of evidence on your page. It will list strengths and weaknesses. It will count how many of your claims went unsupported.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How did your page do?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bonus prompt!
