Is It Ok To Edit My Client’s Testimonials? The Answer Might Surprise You!

Reading Time: < 1 minute

If you’ve ever wondered “How much is too much editing?” when it comes to your testimonials, then this is your episode! This is such a strange topic because there’s no official guide book to this sort of thing anywhere. It’s very much uncharted territory.

In this episode we explore questions like: What if the review has a typo? What if the grammar just doesn’t make sense? Can I change up the wording a little bit?

It can feel really confusing figuring out where to draw the line when you use testimonials from past clients, I get it. This episode will guide you to clarity.

I dive into 8 common changes people might want to make to a testimonial, and I tell you if it’s ok to change or totally not ok.
