Question 1

What is Word of Mouth (WOM) for eCommerce?

Accepted Answer

WOM is an AI-powered trust engine designed for D2C brands. Unlike standard review apps that just collect ratings, WOM actively fixes "trust leaks" in your funnel using AI summaries, micro-trust widgets, and verified social proof to increase conversion rates.

Question 2

How does Word of Mouth increase website conversion rates?

Accepted Answer

We build 5 layers of trust (Confidence, Clarity, Safety, Comfort, Credibility) directly onto your product pages. By answering silent customer questions about quality and delivery in real-time, we reduce hesitation and typically see a 12-30% lift in conversion.

Question 3

Why do I need a trust engine if I already have traffic?

Accepted Answer

Traffic does not equal sales. Most brands lose ~98% of visitors because of "trust leaks" like unclear return policies or lack of social proof. WOM converts the traffic you already have by proving your brand is legitimate and safe.

Question 4

What are "Trust Leaks" in eCommerce?

Accepted Answer

Trust leaks are friction points where customers drop off because of doubt. Common leaks include unsure delivery timelines, lack of "recent" reviews, hidden fees, or worries about product quality matching the photos.

Question 5

How is WOM different from standard review apps like Judge.me or Yotpo?

Accepted Answer

Standard apps passively collect reviews. WOM is an intelligence engine that uses AI to summarize feedback, generates "Daily Fresh Reviews" for policy assurance, and adds psychological cues like "107 people browsing now" to drive urgency and trust.

Question 6

Does Word of Mouth work for dropshipping stores?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dropshipping stores often suffer from low trust. WOM creates immediate credibility through policy reviews (shipping/returns) and "Recently Sold" notifications, helping new stores look established and safe.

Question 7

Can WOM replace my current review app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our "Growth" and "Scale" plans include review collection via Email and WhatsApp, plus display widgets, allowing you to consolidate multiple tools into one system.

Question 8

What are the "5 Layers of Trust" framework?

Accepted Answer

The 5 layers are: Confidence (product works), Clarity (no hidden fees), Safety (secure payments), Comfort (frictionless experience), and Credibility (external validation/UGC).

Question 9

Does Word of Mouth offer a free trial?

Accepted Answer

We operate on a setup fee + monthly subscription model to ensure high-quality onboarding. However, we offer tiered plans starting at just ₹3,000/month for emerging brands.

Question 10

Is Word of Mouth suitable for high-ticket items?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. High-ticket items require higher trust. Our AI summaries and detailed "Rating Breakdowns" give customers the detailed reassurance they need to make expensive decisions.

Question 11

What is the AI Review Summary feature?

Accepted Answer

It is a widget on your Product Page (PDP) that uses AI to read all your reviews and generate a concise "Customers Say" summary (e.g., "Great for dry skin, non-greasy"), saving shoppers from reading hundreds of comments.

Question 12

What are "Micro-Trust Widgets"?

Accepted Answer

These are small, non-intrusive cues like "Verified Buyer," "145 Sold in Last Hour," or "94% Recommend." They provide instant social proof without cluttering the design.

Question 13

Does WOM support Video Reviews and UGC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can display photo reviews and create a "UGC Wall" (User Generated Content) gallery to visually prove your product quality using real customer photos.

Question 14

What is the "Daily Fresh Review" feature?

Accepted Answer

To prevent your product from looking "dead," WOM ensures regular updates. Depending on your plan, we ensure 1-5 fresh trust indicators appear per product daily to keep the page looking active.

Question 15

Can I show "Recently Bought" notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide "Sold Count" and "Recently Bought" cues to create a sense of popularity and reduce the fear of being the first buyer.

Question 16

Does WOM help with SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our product review widgets use structured snippets (Schema markup), making your star ratings and review data visible in Google Search results, which improves click-through rates.

Question 17

Can I customize the look of the widgets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All widgets are fully customizable to match your brand's fonts, colors, and UI design so they look native to your store, not like a third-party plugin.

Question 18

Does the tool collect reviews via WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On our Growth and Scale plans, we support review collection campaigns via both Email and WhatsApp to maximize response rates.

Question 19

What is the "Visual Demo" feature?

Accepted Answer

We allow brands to upload visual content (video/audio) directly to the review section or PDP to demonstrate the product in action, answering the question "Will it look like the photos?"

Question 20

Does WOM display "Live Visitor" counts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a "Live Browsing" widget (e.g., "107 people browsing") to create social pressure and validate that the store is active.

Question 21

Do you generate fake reviews?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not fake product performance claims. We generate policy and trust reviews (focusing on shipping, support, and packaging) to reduce hesitation, but we never invent fake product experiences.

Question 22

How does the AI know what to write for generated content?

Accepted Answer

Our AI is trained on ~9,000 authentic customer text samples, segmented by region, age, and gender. It tailors the language to match your specific Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).

Question 23

Can I approve generated content before it goes live?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything is requirement-led. You have control over what gets shown, and if you don't need a specific module, we don't add it.

Question 24

Will the reviews sound robotic?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI is specifically tuned to match your brand tone and category keywords, ensuring the content sounds like it came from a real human in your target demographic.

Question 25

Is it legal to use generated policy reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as they reflect actual service standards (like "Fast shipping"). We focus on highlighting your operational reliability rather than fabricating user experiences with the product itself.

Question 26

Does Word of Mouth work on Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Shopify is a primary platform we support, along with seamless integration for Shopify Plus themes.

Question 27

Does it work on WooCommerce or Custom Stores?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WOM is platform-agnostic. We work with WooCommerce and fully custom-coded websites.

Question 28

Will adding these widgets slow down my website?

Accepted Answer

No. Our widgets are engineered to be lightweight and performance-optimized. They load asynchronously to ensure your page speed scores remain high.

Question 29

How long does integration take?

Accepted Answer

Most stores go live in 2-5 days, depending on the complexity of your theme and specific requirements.

Question 30

Do I need a developer to install WOM?

Accepted Answer

No. We handle the setup end-to-end. It requires minimal theme edits which our team manages for you.

Question 31

Can I import my existing reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can import your "All Actual Reviews" from previous platforms so you don't lose your hard-earned social proof.

Question 32

Is the widget mobile-responsive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All widgets are designed "mobile-first," given that the majority of D2C traffic comes from mobile devices.

Question 33

What access do you need to my store?

Accepted Answer

We typically need basic store access, your product catalog, policy details, and brand guidelines to configure the system.

Question 34

Can I use WOM if I have a headless commerce build?
