How long should a customer video testimonial be?

A strong testimonial is often between 30 and 90 seconds. Long enough to communicate specifics, short enough to stay easy to record and easy to watch.

Should I script customer answers?

No. Give prompts and structure, but let the customer speak naturally. Over-scripted testimonials lose credibility quickly.

What if customers say yes but never record?

That usually points to bad timing, too much friction, or vague instructions. Improve those three variables before assuming customers are unwilling.
