**Based on ecommerce research, these two give you the highest return for the least setup time:**

1. **Product page: one-line rating or carousel near Add to Cart.** Spiegel Research Center found this increases conversion by 18% on average and up to 380% for higher-priced items.
2. **Sticky Rating: all pages.** Covers your entire store instantly. Stores using sitewide social proof widgets report an average 10–15% conversion lift within 30 days.

### Homepage

Build trust before visitors even start browsing.

**RECOMMENDED WIDGETS**

Carousel | Rotator | Dual Row Carousel | One-line rating

**WHERE TO PLACE**

* Directly below the hero section / featured products
* Next to or below the primary CTA button ("Shop Now", "View Collection")
* Above the header, for a compact one-line rating bar

{% hint style="success" %}
Homepage visitors decide whether to trust your store within the first few seconds. A strong rating displayed immediately reduces bounce rate and encourages deeper browsing, before they've seen a single product.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Carousel" %}

{% tab title="Dual Row" %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="One-line" %}

<figure><img src="/files/Edc4BffdDQkPzES2vubc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Product pages

Remove last-minute doubt right before the click.

**RECOMMENDED WIDGETS**

Carousel |One-line rating | Grid | List | Masonry

**WHERE TO PLACE**

* Near the product title or price, a compact one-line rating summary
* Below the "Add to Cart" button, a full review widget
* Below the product description or specifications

{% tab title="Carousel" %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Grid" %}

{% tab title="List" %}

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Cart page

Catch customers before they abandon at the last step.

**RECOMMENDED WIDGETS**

One-line rating | Compact Rating

**WHERE TO PLACE**

* Below cart items, above the checkout button
* Next to the checkout button

{% hint style="info" %}
**Keep it compact on the cart page**

Use the One-line rating or Compact Rating widget here, not a full carousel. The cart page should move customers toward checkout, not give them more content to read.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="One-line" %}

<figure><img src="/files/lZtQqEvpV1eeYrmkGDp6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Compact rating" %}

<figure><img src="/files/odFUaQvw1r4qaIPJ6ZSW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Sticky widget, all pages

The easiest placement to set up: one widget, visible everywhere.

**RECOMMENDED WIDGETS**

Sticky Rating | Sticky Slider | Minimised Sticky Rating

**WHERE TO PLACE**

* Fixed to the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of every page
* Stays visible as users scroll, no configuration per page needed

<figure><img src="/files/ArXVV3wBvk9hK7fiIJKE" alt=""><figcaption><p>Sticky Google reviews widget on the Homepage</p></figcaption></figure>

### Footer

Passive credibility that's always there.

**RECOMMENDED WIDGET**

Compact Rating

**WHERE TO PLACE**

* In the footer, alongside navigation links or social media icons
* Visible on all pages without any additional setup per page

{% hint style="success" %}
Shoppers scroll to the footer when they hesitate. A compact rating here gives them the trust signal they're looking for.
{% endhint %}
