Social Proof

Social proof is the buying-psychology term for signals that other customers already trust a product: star ratings, review counts, customer photos, and "X bought this" style indicators. Review and UGC apps exist to collect and display it. The honest version shows real, verifiable content; fabricated or incentivized-without-disclosure proof risks platform and FTC trouble.
