Should coaches have a reviews page?
When a dedicated reviews page helps a coach website, what to include, and how it should connect to Google reviews and service pages.
Review request
If the block helped, could you leave a short Google review about what changed in your training?

Thank you for the thoughtful note. I am glad the pacing work made race week feel calmer.
A reviews page helps when proof is a decision point
Some coaches only need testimonials on the homepage and services. A dedicated reviews page helps when the coach has multiple services, locations, or athlete types and needs proof grouped clearly.
What to include
- Selected testimonials with context.
- A link to the Google review profile.
- Proof grouped by service or athlete type.
- A request CTA after enough proof is shown.
Do not hide proof on one page only
The best testimonials should also appear where people decide: service cards, homepage sections, event pages, and contact areas.
How to structure the page
A reviews page should not be a wall of praise. Group proof so visitors can find the kind of person, service, or problem that matches their situation.
- Start with a short summary of who the coach helps.
- Group testimonials by service, audience, or goal.
- Include Google review highlights when permission and platform rules allow.
- Add context beside each quote: service, format, or milestone.
- Link from each proof group back to the relevant service or request action.
When a separate page is not needed
If the coach only has two or three testimonials, it is usually better to place them on the homepage, service pages, and About section. A dedicated reviews page becomes useful when there is enough proof to organize.
Review page examples
Running coach
Group proof by race preparation, return-to-running, and plan review
A runner comparing services can quickly find testimonials from athletes with similar goals.
Career coach
Group proof by new managers, career transitions, and interview preparation
The page becomes easier to scan than a generic list of praise.
