Instead of creating outlandish fictional customer comments, it is a better idea in the long run to seek out real customers' opinions. This too is usually evident to online consumers and can build a sense of trust with your prospects, making them more likely to buy from you.

You can get an idea of how happy they were overall and about each part of the process along the way. You will also be able to tell if they are a potential cheerleader of your business.
