The quote card
One big quote on a brand colour. Name, role, company under it. Logo in the corner.
A good testimonial post is one real quote, one real name and one real result, in your brand.
Free: your brand in 3 real designs, in 48 hours.
A customer testimonial post has four parts: the quote, the name and role, the result in one line, and your logo. Keep the quote in the customer's own words and get a yes before you post.
Use the three formats below. Each one fits on one image, so your team can post proof in minutes and not wait for a designer.
The post is easy. Getting the quote is the hard part. Make it a two-minute task for the customer.
Hi [name], thank you for [what they did or bought]. Could you give me one or two sentences on [the result or the change] for us? It can be rough, I will just tidy the spelling. May I post it on LinkedIn with your name, role and company logo? Yes or no is fine. If you prefer, I can draft two lines and you can change them.
Never change the meaning of a quote. Never post a name without a yes. More on approved facts in what to include in brand guidelines.
Pick the one that fits the proof you have.
Format 1

Free tool
Answer a few short questions. You get your brand score and the top thing to fix. It is free and runs right here.
The image carries the quote. The caption carries the story.
"[One sentence from the customer, exactly as they said it.]" - [Name], [role] at [company] [What they needed, in one line.] [What we did, in one line.] [The result, with the number and the date if you have it.] [Optional: a link to the full story or case study.]
Use just results you can prove, and keep the source on an approved facts list. Mine is public on the facts page. For voice, see B2B brand voice examples.
Leave your email. I design them by hand and send them to you within 48 hours. It costs you nothing.
I write to you from [email protected]. If you do not see it, check spam.
Buyers can smell fake praise fast.
| Weak | Strong |
|---|---|
| "Great company, highly recommend!" | A sentence about what changed after they started |
| No name, or a bare given name | Full name, role and company, with their yes |
| Five stars and no story | One quote and one number |
| Stock photo of a smiling person | Their real logo or an approved photo |
| Posted once, then forgotten | Posted again as a case study, a carousel, a reply in sales mail |
Looking for a model? My own proof is on the reviews page. Longer proof lives in a case study, like MTG.
If three people post testimonials, you get three looks. Fix that once.
Lock the card: logo, fonts, colours and quote marks. Open the quote, name, role and photo. Then anyone in sales or marketing can post proof the same day. See locked vs open parts for how to decide what stays fixed.
A Brand OS Portal holds those locked cards and the voice rules in one place. Your team makes the post. Nobody waits for a designer. A designer is still the right call when you need strategy or a new identity.
Tick before you press post. Your ticks stay on this device.

Watch
I made short videos of the tools. Hear me explain them, then scroll through every one at work. Real tools, on a real brand.

Send a short message that asks for one or two sentences on the result, and ask for a yes on posting their name and logo. Offer to draft two lines if they are busy.
The quote, the name and role, the company, one line on the result, and your logo. A number helps.
Fix spelling, nothing else. Never change the meaning. If you want it shorter, send the shorter version for approval.
Get a clear yes before you post a name, photo or logo. Keep the message as a record.
Use one locked card design and let the team change just the quote, name, role and photo.
