FAQ

Do you need permission to display a client's logo on your website?

Yes, always. A logo is a registered trademark — using it without permission can expose you to a cease-and-desist letter. A simple email is enough in 90% of cases — most clients are happy to agree, especially if you explain that it's positive exposure for them as well.

How many client logos should you display on a homepage?

Between 6 and 12 logos is the optimal range. Fewer than 6 and the social proof effect is weak. More than 15 and visitors stop paying attention, turning the section into visual noise. Eight strong logos are worth more than a grid of 20 unknown ones.

What should you do if you're just starting out and have no client logos to display?

Start with concrete alternatives: a text testimonial with a first name, job title, and photo; an anonymized result backed by numbers; or a partner logo such as a tool, network, or certification. These elements trigger the same trust mechanism as logos, as long as they are specific and verifiable.
