How a marketing platform gets customer reviews marketers believe

Marketers choosing a tool want to hear from teams who use it. Who to ask, the note to send, the proof block to share, and the rules to keep.

Why customer reviews matter more now

AI can write a feature page, a comparison table and a wall of testimonials in minutes, and marketers know it. What they cannot fake is a marketing team saying how a tool worked for them after months of use. On Few Found, the customer you invite confirms you worked together before they write a word, and a person at Few Found reads every review before it appears on your page.

Who to ask

  • The person who uses your platform every week, not only the person who signed the contract.
  • Customers who have used it for at least a couple of months, so the review covers more than setup.
  • A mix: an agency, an in-house team and a smaller business, if you serve all three.
  • Customers who raised a problem you fixed. A page of only perfect reviews reads as curated.

When to ask

  • After a customer reaches something they can see: a first campaign sent, a report they use, a renewal.
  • After a support request you solved well, while it is fresh.
  • Never in the same message as an invoice, a price change or a renewal discount.

Send a short note before the invitation

Few Found sends the review link from your workspace. A line from you first means the customer recognises it and opens it. Change the words in brackets.

Hi [first name],

Thank you for using [platform] for [what they use it for]. We are collecting reviews from teams who use it on our Few Found page, so other marketers can hear from real customers. Would you write a few lines? It takes about three minutes.

The proof block to share

Put this in sales emails, partner applications and your website footer, then fill in the brackets. It answers what a careful marketer checks before they pick a tool.

Rules to keep

In August 2024 the US Federal Trade Commission adopted a final rule on fake reviews and testimonials. A summary, not legal advice: never offer a discount, free months, credits or anything else in return for a positive review; never write reviews of your own product or have staff pose as customers without saying so; never pressure a customer to change an honest review; and do not show a hand-picked set of reviews as if it were all of them.

How it works on Few Found

  • Your Found page is free. Once a person at Few Found has checked it, you can invite customers from your workspace.
  • Invited reviews carry an "Invited review" label, and go through the same screening as every other review.
  • Few Found Verified goes further: a person checks your company registration, your team and a customer reference.
