Find customer quotes for ads and testimonials in your social mentions.

Your best ad copy is already sitting in a comment section. "My redness is basically gone" beats anything a copywriter would come up with, because a real customer said it with nothing to gain. Mentionfront finds lines like that in your positive mentions, pulls out the exact words, and ranks them by how many people liked them.

From 400 mentions to the 12 lines worth using.

Nobody on your team has time to read every comment looking for a good line. Mentionfront does it as each mention comes in, and it's picky on purpose.

01

Only positive mentions

An AI model reads each mention's sentiment first. Quotes only come from mentions that are genuinely positive about you, so sarcasm like "great, it broke again" is screened out.

02

Specific, exact wording

It pulls out a short phrase exactly as written, and only when it's specific: a result, a detail, a reaction. "Love it!!" doesn't qualify. "Smells like nothing, which is exactly what I wanted" does.

03

Ranked by likes

The Quote wall on your Analytics page shows the top 12 for any date range, most-liked first. A line thousands of people agreed with is a safer bet than one nobody saw.

A swipe file that updates itself.

When someone needs a line for a landing page or an ad, they go to Analytics, choose a date range and pick from the wall. Each quote shows the platform, the author and the like count, and links to the original post so you can check the context before using it.

Filter to one tracked product and the wall only shows quotes about that product. That's how you get lines about the Barrier Cream for the Barrier Cream page, not a general "love this brand."

Six kinds of quote that sell, and where each belongs.

Praise alone doesn't sell much. The lines that work answer a question the shopper already has. Match the kind of quote to where they'll see it.

Kind of quoteExampleWhy it worksPut it on
A specific result"my redness is basically gone"Describes the outcome the shopper wants, in their wordsAd headlines, product page hero
A time frame"noticed a difference in a week"Answers "how long until it works?"Retargeting ads, post-purchase email
A price objection answered"pricey but one jar lasts me four months"Admits the price is high, then justifies itNear the price, cart, checkout
A repeat purchase"on my fourth tub and not switching"Proves it keeps working after the first tryHomepage, subscription upsell
A sensory detail"smells like nothing, which is exactly what I wanted"Answers what the shopper can't test onlineProduct page, next to ingredients
A hard use case"the only thing that didn't sting my eczema"Reassures the most cautious shoppersSensitive-skin ads, FAQ section
Skip theseGeneric praise"obsessed!!", "10/10", "best ever"Could describe any product, so nobody believes itNowhere. Mentionfront skips these too.

A public post doesn't mean you can use it.

Somebody posting on TikTok hasn't agreed to appear in your ads. Quoting them on your website without asking, or putting their face in a paid ad, is a quick way to turn a fan into a complaint. Asking takes two minutes, and most happy customers say yes.

Mentionfront gives you what you need to ask: the author, the platform, and a link to the exact post. Mark it with Collect testimonial or Ad creative and it moves into Follow-up until you've heard back.

If a quote came from a paid partnership rather than an organic post, the influencer marketing ROI calculator is a quick way to check what that campaign actually returned — comments and reposts like this one are exactly what discount-code attribution tends to miss.

There's a line worth knowing in US law, too. The FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials took effect on October 21, 2024 and carries civil penalties of up to $51,744 per violation; among other things, it prohibits businesses from "providing compensation or other incentives conditioned on the writing of consumer reviews expressing a particular sentiment". The FTC's endorsement guidance puts the same point plainly: "You can't condition an incentive – for example, a discount – on a review being positive." Sending a customer a thank-you gift after they praised you, with nothing asked in return, is a different thing from offering one in exchange for a five-star post — and quoting what someone already wrote, with their permission, is safer than commissioning what you want them to write.

This is good practice, not legal advice. Rules on endorsements and likeness vary by country and platform. If a quote is going into a large paid campaign, check with whoever handles your legal questions.

Permission checklist

  • Thank them publicly first. A reply before a DM makes the request feel less out of the blue.
  • Ask by DM, and say exactly where it'll run: your website, organic posts or paid ads. Those are three different requests.
  • Get a written yes and screenshot it with the date. File it next to the quote.
  • Credit them the way they want, whether that's their handle, first name only or anonymous.
  • For paid ads from their account, use the platform's own tools: Spark Ads codes on TikTok, partnership ads on Meta.
  • Ask again if the use grows, and take it down right away if they change their mind.

Find better quotes, faster.

Questions about UGC and quotes

Are the quotes word for word?
Yes. The quote is pulled directly from the post, not rewritten or cleaned up. If you shorten or edit a quote for an ad, make sure it still means what the customer meant, and mention the edit when you ask for permission.
Where do the quotes show up?
On the Quote wall on your Analytics page: the 12 most-liked quotes for the date range you pick. You can filter by platform and tracker. Each quote links back to the original post.
Can it find quotes in videos?
It reads text: captions, comments, titles and descriptions. A great line spoken in a video but never written down won't be found. The comments under that video often repeat it, though.
How do I keep track of quotes I've asked permission for?
Mark the mention with Collect testimonial or Ad creative. It moves into your Follow-up tab, and you can filter the inbox by either action. Resolve it once you have a yes, or add your own tag, like "approved for ads".
Does it pull quotes from negative mentions?
No. A quote is only saved when the mention's sentiment is positive. Negative mentions are still labeled by sentiment and intent, and complaints land in the Needs attention queue instead.
Do I own a quote once it's on my quote wall?
No. The words still belong to the person who wrote them. Mentionfront helps you find and track quotes, but permission to use one comes from the author. See the checklist above.
