FAQs
Adding social proof, answered
How do I add social proof to my website?+
Create a free WiserNotify account, install the pixel in your site's <head> (or via a platform integration), connect your data sources, and publish a notification from 30+ templates. The whole flow takes about 10 minutes.
What types of social proof can a website show?+
Live visitor counts, recent purchases and sign-ups, booking activity, Google and Facebook reviews, subscriber counters, limited-stock alerts, countdown timers, and inline text proof — all from real data.
Does social proof work on low-traffic websites?+
Yes — single-visit notifications, longer-window counters ('480 this month'), and review popups all work without high volume, and nothing is ever fabricated.
Do I need a developer to set this up?+
No. The pixel is one copy-paste, and platform integrations handle it without code. If you get stuck, our support team sets everything up with you free on live chat or a call.
