Holds every testimonial to the full trust standard – name, title, company, and headshot – so any skeptical visitor could verify the person is real.
Category: Website QA Audit
Use this when starting Layer 3 (Authority & Trust Checks) of the Website QA Audit – this is the stricter pass on testimonials: complete, verifiable attribution.
Inputs
- The testimonial inventory from the Layer 2 headshot check (verify-testimonials-include-headshots-with-attribution)
- A browser for verifying the people are findable (LinkedIn/company-site lookup)
- The audit report/spreadsheet for logging results
Steps
- Take every testimonial on the site and score it against all four attribution fields: full name, title/role, company (or city for consumer clients), and real headshot.
- Fail any testimonial missing one or more fields – Layer 2 passed "name plus face"; Layer 3 requires the complete set.
- Verify a sample: look up the named person (LinkedIn or their company site) and confirm they exist and plausibly match the headshot and title.
- Prefer linked attribution where the person agreed – name linking to their LinkedIn or company turns the testimonial into checkable evidence.
- For each incomplete testimonial, list exactly which field to collect from the client, with the owner's outreach note.
- Log the four-field scorecard per testimonial in the audit report.
Definition of done (QA checklist)
- 100% of testimonials carry all four fields – full name, title, company, headshot – with zero anonymous or partial entries
- Spot-checked people are real and findable; fabricated-looking entries removed
- Four-field scorecard logged in the audit report, linked back to /website-qa-audit
Example(s)
- Example needed – run the Meta-Article Prompt after first real run.
