Définition approfondie
Social proof is the reason follower counts, reviews, and visible likes move behavior. Humans use the actions of others as a shortcut for quality judgments, especially online where direct verification is hard. Marketers lean on social proof at every funnel stage, from 'as seen in' logos on landing pages to influencer endorsements on feed posts. SMM services are often bought specifically to bootstrap social proof on a new account.
