Turn Bragly into a monetization engine and a growth catalyst for your clients
Why social-proof services belong in every project scope
| Proof point | Impact for your client | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 99 % of consumers read reviews, 91 % do so on every purchase journey | Broader consideration funnel; fewer cold-feet exits | |
| Displaying just five reviews lifts the likelihood of purchase by 270 % | Fast trust even for new or niche brands | |
| Pages with review widgets see a 47 % conversion boost and 32 % less cart abandonment | Higher ROAS for every paid-ad dollar | |
| Responding to reviews raises star ratings by 0.12 on average, improving local-search rank | Long-term SEO and Google Map Pack visibility |
Your agency earns recurring revenue; your clients earn more clicks, longer sessions, and fatter carts—everyone wins.
1.Package review widgets as a premium add-on
| Upsell idea | How to price it | Direct client value |
|---|---|---|
| “Trust Layer” bundle – embed Bragly widgets on home, product, pricing & checkout | Setup $600+ Care plan +$49–$99 / mo | Proven lift in conversions and SEO snippets |
| Review-Management Retainer – monitor, moderate, reply | +$250–$500 / mo | Higher star ratings and rich keyword content from replies |

2.Save billable hours, widen margins
Old-school testimonial sections demand manual copy-paste, killing 3–5 agency hours a week. Bragly reduces that to minutes:
- Connect the client’s Google Business Profile.
- Drop one script tag—works with Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, custom React, anything.
- Style via the visual editor or CSS variables.
Client-side upside
Faster updates mean reviews stay current (Google weighs recency heavily), keeping the brand looking alive and engaged.
3.Sell trust, not pixels
Reviews aren’t eye-candy —they’re decision accelerators:
- Widgets extend average session time up to 90 % and lower bounce rates, bolstering Core Web Vitals and SEO.
- Social proof added above the main CTA produces a 34 % average conversion lift on product pages.
- Rich-snippet markup from Bragly can surface stars in SERPs, raising organic click-through by up to 35 %.
Frame widgets as the ROI layer that transforms beautiful design into profitable performance.
4. Recurring revenue and recurring client success
Agencies that improve retention by just five points grow profit 25 %–95 %.
Bragly helps you stay sticky:
- Licensing & hosting pass-through – roll Bragly into your maintenance plan; clients keep paying for live stars.
- Upsell ladder – start with Google reviews, expand to multi-source feeds (Yelp, Facebook) as Bragly adds channels.
