Highlight Your Best Single Review as a Hero Section

2026-02-042 min read

Sometimes one review says it all. A single detailed, authentic review from a customer who nails the value proposition of your product can be more persuasive than a hundred short five-star reviews combined. Highlighting that review as a dedicated hero section gives it the prominence it deserves and makes it impossible for shoppers to miss.

A highlighted review section works differently from a standard review widget. Instead of showing multiple reviews in a carousel or grid, it spotlights one review with larger text, more breathing room, and often a photo of the reviewer or the product. Think of it as a testimonial block powered by a real customer review rather than a hand-picked quote.

The best candidates for highlighted reviews are those that tell a story. A review that describes a specific problem the customer had, how they found your product, and how it solved their problem reads like a mini case study. This narrative structure is incredibly persuasive because shoppers see themselves in the reviewer's story.

Place highlighted reviews on your homepage, at the top of product pages, or between content sections as a trust-building break.
