Furniture shoppers weigh a lot of information before a purchase and Furniture1 knows about the power of customer ratings and reviews.
Furniture1 came to TestFreaks to get a solution that could share and auto translate Ratings & Reviews and Questions & Answers between many websites and languages. They also wanted to be able to use curation tools to further improve the value of customer content. SEO and Google Ads are central components in Furniture1’s acquisition strategy and it is important for them that the platform they use for R&R and Q&A maximize visibility in search engines and return on Google Ads.
TestFreaks customizable platform is centered around collecting, generating and displaying content, that deliver outstanding customer experience, conversion to sales and retention. Further to that the platform is also very capable in organizing, displaying and sharing content in a way that maximizes SEO benefits and results in Google Shopping ads. The solution can be configured in a number of ways. It is important that the content is displayed so that Google does not see it as duplicate content. It is also important to use the right method for rich snippets and product feeds so that star ratings are displayed in organic search results and Google Shopping ads. With a thought-through setup customers can enjoy an outstanding customer experience on the website, and great SEO and Google Ads results can be achieved simultaneously.
TestFreaks is the perfect fit for a retailer who runs many websites in several languages and wants to generate authentic quality reviews and get the most out of every review using sharing, sorting, translation, curation and optimization. This made all the difference at Furniture1, where shoppers now have access to more reviews than ever before to help them make informed buying decisions.

Reporting tools and dashboard
TestFreaks' reporting tools make it easy for Furniture1 to get useful data and insights into the performance of their large catalog of around 100 000 items. The Furniture1 team monitors the ratings activity on a weekly, and sometimes daily, basis. Insights gained from the Review Portal get fed back to the company’s product and sourcing teams.
Sometimes insights are on a strategic level and the impact and actions have a more long term focus. Many times they are closely tied to daily operations. For example, systematically use small insights from R&R and Q&A to improve product descriptions to better manage customers' expectations, enabling them to navigate to the best product for their needs, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and fewer product returns. If you are a furniture retailer you know the value of reducing the return rate.
