What's the best way for users to upload their images to my wordpress site to promote UGC

[Smileworks_Liverpool]

I have looked at lots of different plugins and wanted a recommendation for an easy way for patients of ours to upload pictures of them out partying and having fun and looking beautiful so future users can see the final results instead of sometimes gory or difficult to understand before and after images.

I'd like to give them the opportunity to write captions (like facebook or insta posts and would offer them incentives to do so.

I don't want it to be too complicated for them or have too many steps or barriers but I do want it to look nice and slick and modern.

Also do you think this would have a positive impact on SEO?

I was also thinking of a Q&A app where dentists could get Q&A emails and respond - i've been doing AMA sessions and they've been really successful and I would like to bring it into out site and make it native.

Thanks in advance

So basically you want to add some kind of reviews plugins to your site, right? if that is the case there are several options. Assuming that you use WordPress.

Facebook Reviews Pro WordPress Plugin

Google Places Reviews Pro WordPress Plugin

Yelp Reviews Pro for WordPress

Also, you can use some local services such as Whitespark (I don't know if it works on UK)

I found this article very interesting **Quick Way To Display Google Reviews On Your Website. **Also if you want to play with javascript here is an interesting script on Github  http://peledies.github.io/google-places/

Hope this info will help you...regards

Hi Roman,

Thanks for this - some great options here for my page. But what about when people want to upload their own photos rather than reviews. So it's hosted on our site and could potentially one day form a sort of Q&A and brochure of our lovely patients.  I also need one for our recruitment page where people can upload CV's and cover letters but think I can fix that with one of my forms plugins.

Cheers,

Ed.

Ok, I have been working with **FormCraft**mainly by its flexibility, also does not need to code it or make some complex configuration, another good option is to create a customer area that bright you more flexibility. In that case WP Customer Area. I worked on a few projects with it and works like a charm for small websites, so if you want to implement it on your business (dentist website) and create an area where your patients can share their experience, upload photos or whatever you want this is a great solution.

The link that I added is for the free version, but there is a premium version ( I did not try the premium version ) just give it a check.

Hope this info will help you
