Social proof

Social proof: How and why it works, with 12 great examples

Nick A. | May 12, 2026
12 mins

Social proof is a powerful marketing tactic. It’s rooted in the idea that customers are more inclined to buy a product or hire a service when they see that others are doing the same. When Oreo claims it makes “America’s favorite cookie” or McDonald’s posts “billions and billions served” on its signs, that’s social proof in action.

Leveraging social proof elevates the voices of existing customers, changemakers, and celebrities to vouch for the quality of what you provide. And when potential customers weigh their own decision, those endorsements can be the make-or-break factor that convinces them to choose you over someone else. Here’s why social proof is so effective, along with a dozen examples so you can see this marketing tactic at work.

Why is social proof effective?

There’s an undeniable bandwagon effect when social proof is in play. It’s a psychological phenomenon, where undecided individuals follow others who’ve already done the work to select their preferred option. There are a number of reasons why social proof can be an incredibly effective marketing tool.

  1. It lends authority to your product or service. Instead of you claiming that your company brews the best coffee or offers industry-leading ERP software, social proof makes those claims for you.
  2. It builds trust. By seeing that other customers have trusted their time and money to this product or service, potential customers can rest assured that they’re making a great investment, too.
  3. It confirms you’re reliable. With a record of doing business with other companies and clients, it signals that you have authority, expertise, and can do what you say you do.

What are the types of social proof?

There are many potential benefits to using social proof in your marketing. For all their differences, there’s one common thread between them: Social proof relies on others outside your company to shore up what you’re claiming. Some of the ways to leverage social proof to grow your business include:

1. User generated content

User generated content (UGC) is content created by fans and used by the company to showcase a product or service. UGC can take the form of a user-submitted testimonial, a short video, photography, or a product review written on a blog.

2. Business credentials

Business credentials leverage the results a customer saw with a product or service. This is more than just a simple endorsement of a product — it leverages facts and figures to tell a success story. Examples of business credentials are the number of new customers acquired, trust logos that display the names of well-known customers, and the sales increase the average product or service user can expect.

3. Case studies

Case studies go beyond business credentials to tell a story about the product or service and how it improved someone’s business. A case study will go in depth, first explaining a challenge faced by a customer, then describing how the brand’s product or service helped them solve the problem. Case studies are widely regarded to be authoritative and trustworthy.

4. Testimonials

Testimonials are quotes from users of a product or service that are utilized by a company’s marketing team to signal trust and authority to other customers. These quotes can be gathered and shared in many ways, including reviews on Google Business Profile and authoritative sites like Yelp, product ratings on ecommerce sites, and contributions from social media followers. You can also call or email customers and ask them for a testimonial that you can then place on your site. These testimonials are quite valuable for reputation management as they signal to others that real people have benefited from the product or service in question.

5. Endorsements

Endorsements are more formal than testimonials. They’re typically the result of a formal arrangement between your company and a respected figure whose audience you want to reach.  

There are several types of endorsements that can be utilized as social proof. One such endorsement is a celebrity endorsement, where a well-known figure agrees to be the face of your brand for a campaign or certain period. A great example of a celebrity endorsement is George Clooney for Nespresso.

Another type of endorsement, expert social proof, is when an authority figure or authoritative group in your industry puts their seal of approval on your product or service. An example of expert social proof is the American Dental Association (ADA) applying its Seal of Acceptance to a toothpaste brand.

6. Social media

Social media is an important part of spreading the word about your business, and your company’s profiles on each platform can serve as social proof. That’s because potential customers are increasingly turning to social media to vet businesses. They’re looking for what you post, who follows you, and the number of shares posts get, to name a few examples.

Two important concepts come into play here: wisdom of the crowd and wisdom of your friends. Wisdom of the crowd includes signals that your brand is important, worthwhile, and well-liked, such as a large follower count or lots of positive engagement on a post. Wisdom of your friends refers to the phenomenon when a social media user sees many of their connections liking, following, or interacting with a company. 

7. Earned media

Earned media is any article or press coverage that wasn’t sponsored. With earned media, a reporter or editorial team independently found the product or service and felt it noteworthy to write about in their publication or on their website. Sharing earned media on your website or social media is a great way to signal trust in your product or service, encourage new customers to check you out, and show that your company is worth talking about.

What type of social proof works best? 

There’s no right, wrong, or guaranteed way to leverage social proof. The type of social proof that will work best for your company depends on who you’re trying to reach and which of their pain points you’re trying to solve. 

That said, there’s a lot of power in a simple testimonial from those who already have been won over by your product or service. In a world where nearly 9 out of 10 purchasers won’t make a move without reading testimonials, testimonials from your customers can go quite a long way.

12 examples of social proof 

Here are twelve great examples of different types of social proof and how these famous companies leveraged it to reach new customers.

1. Shopify

Shopify website

Business owners have no shortage of platforms to choose from when building the e-commerce portion of their site. Shopify, one of the largest ecommerce platforms, leverages statistics about customer success to explain to others why their platform is best for millions around the world. Detailed information about platform features helps Shopify pitch to the reader how they stand apart.

2. Monday

Monday website

On their homepage, Monday, a project management software, turns to their real-life customers to demonstrate their trustworthiness. These business credentials serve as a signal to other companies that their workflow and files can be trusted to Monday. As you scroll, you’ll find logos from some of their most famous customers, testimonials from well-known clients, and case studies that explain how their product helped solve user challenges.

3. Workday

Workday website

The enterprise management platform turns to video to showcase how their software helps customers succeed. One of the first links on the homepage is a series of video testimonials from household names like AstraZeneca and Carmax. These videos are structured like case studies, posing the challenge of managing a large organization and introducing Workday as the solution.

4. Grammarly

Grammarly website

The spelling and grammar checking tool utilizes testimonials to show why they’re a trusted resource for professionals in all types of office settings. On the homepage, a testimonial follows a list of business applications Grammarly can connect to, including those that don’t typically have spell checker tools.

5. Just

Just website

Vegan substitutes like Just Egg and Just Meat are used by folks for many reasons, from dietary restrictions to egg allergies to adhering to a vegan lifestyle. But one of the things that sets Just apart is its use of celebrity endorsements to lend credence to the product’s taste and quality. The brand tapped actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who has been public about his transition to a mostly plant-based diet, to promote their products. The brand also features a number of famous athlete ambassadors on its Stories page. 

6. TikTok

TikTok website

The social media platform is taking the world by storm, which has earned them quite a bit of press coverage. Without taking out paid advertising, TikTok racked up significant earned media from reputable publications around the globe. This helped raise the platform’s profile, educating millions of would-be users and thousands of businesses on its potential. 

7. Nature Made

Nature Made website

The vitamins manufacturer leverages expert social proof as a stamp of approval that its products are authentic and contain what they say is in them. To that end, Nature Made places prominent expert social proof on its homepage. First, the company has USP certification, which guarantees the supplements contain what’s on the label. Another expert social proof indicates that the brand is highly recommended by experts, with a “#1 pharmacist recommended” badge alongside the USP certification.

8. Hootsuite

Hootsuite website

As a social media management platform, Hootsuite understands the power of social proof. To that effect, the company puts several methods of social proof to work on its homepage.

Frequently asked questions

To add social proof to a website, display business credentials (such as trust logos), star ratings, endorsements, client logos, and/or testimonials on your homepage to establish a sense of authority in your industry. In addition, you can create a website page dedicated to case studies that provide in-depth information about the real-world impacts of your products or services. 

Social proof should be prominently displayed on a landing page. Place the most important pieces of social proof above the fold so visitors to the page see them immediately. Another important area for social proof on landing pages is near calls to action, such as signup or purchase buttons.
