I was curious if I could use ChatGPT to bulk create testimonials, so I had to try it. And guess what—it worked! So cool. I got a little excited and created the video to show you before I even had a template ready. I don’t recommend doing it that way, but hey, why waste time and recreate it when I can just be real, right? In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process so you can easily turn your customer reviews into stunning, branded testimonial graphics.
Step-by-Step Guide to Bulk Creating Testimonial Graphics
Plan Your Graphics:
Start by planning your testimonial graphics in Canva. Choose or create a template that matches your brand’s colors, fonts, and style. Make sure your design looks exactly how you want it before moving on to the bulk creation process.
Focus on keeping your layout simple and easy to replicate across multiple testimonials.
Gather and Format Your Testimonials:
Head over to your Google Reviews page and copy the testimonials you want to feature.
Paste them directly into ChatGPT and ask it to format them into a table with columns for the review text, the reviewer’s name, and any other details you want to include. This will save you tons of time!
If you want to save these for future use, you can copy the table into a spreadsheet. This also allows you to download it as a CSV file, which can be directly uploaded into Canva's Bulk Create tool.
Use the Bulk Create Tool:
With your graphic template open in Canva, find the Bulk Create App on the left menu. If it’s your first time using it, you can search for it under Apps.
If you have your testimonials in a spreadsheet, you can upload the CSV file directly into Canva’s Bulk Create tool. Alternatively, just copy the columns from the table ChatGPT provided and paste them into the Bulk Create tool manually.
Link each column to the corresponding text box in your Canva template.
Once everything is connected, click Generate to create your testimonial graphics.
Review and Tweak:
Review each graphic to make sure everything looks cohesive and aligns properly. Check the alignment, spacing, and overall aesthetic.
Make any necessary tweaks to individual graphics to ensure they maintain a consistent, polished appearance.
Export in Bulk:
Establish a consistent file naming system—whether by the date you plan to post or the content each graphic contains—so you can easily locate your testimonials later.
Once you’re satisfied with your designs, download them all at once. Choose JPEG for social media, and select Download All Pages.
Organize and Store for Future Use:
I recommend using Trello to organize your content. Personally, I organize by content type and label by the month or date it will be posted, but find what system works best for you.
Remember, it’s fun to create these graphics, but they’re only valuable if you can find and use them when you need to!
Sharing reviews and testimonials is one of the most powerful ways to build trust and credibility with your audience. When potential customers see real people raving about your products or services, it helps them feel more confident in choosing you. And don’t worry about sharing the same testimonial more than once—repetition can actually reinforce your message.
You can easily repurpose the same testimonial in different ways. For example, create one version of your graphic with a simple, elegant design for your website, and another more vibrant version for Instagram. You could also pair the text with different background images or even create a series of posts that highlight various aspects of the same review. The key is to keep your testimonials in rotation, so they continue to build momentum for your brand.
So, go ahead and use Canva’s Bulk Create feature to keep your content fresh and engaging. And remember, each time you share a testimonial, you’re reinforcing the value of what you offer.
Happy Creating! 🩵🩷🩵
