How do I add a Facebook reviews widget to my website?
Meta does not make one. Its social plugins cover sharing, your Page's timeline, single posts and videos, but none shows your reviews. So you need a third-party widget: a syncing tool that reads your Page on a schedule and charges monthly, or an import tool that copies your recommendations into a widget you own.
With testimonials.ltd you paste facebook.com/yourpage/reviews into Claude or ChatGPT, approve the recommendations you want, and paste one snippet into your site. Facebook reviews are Yes or No recommendations, so the cards show text, name and photo, not stars.
How do you put Facebook reviews on your website?
Five steps, about ten minutes, and no Facebook developer account or API key.
- 01
Copy your Page's reviews link
Open your Facebook Page, click the Reviews tab and copy the address. It looks like facebook.com/yourpage/reviews. The Page must be public and have reviews switched on.
- 02
Ask Claude or ChatGPT to import them
With the testimonials.ltd connector added, say: import my Facebook reviews from this link into my approval queue. Leave out any minimum star rating, because Facebook recommendations have no stars.
- 03
Read and approve each one
Every recommendation arrives word for word with the reviewer's name, profile photo, date and any photos they added. Approve the ones you want to show.
- 04
Pick a widget format
Choose a wall, carousel, marquee, single quote or one of the other formats, set your colours, and add your Google reviews or collected testimonials to the same widget if you like.
- 05
Paste one snippet into your site
Copy the embed code and paste it into a Custom HTML block (WordPress), Embed HTML (Wix), a Code block (Squarespace) or a Custom Liquid section (Shopify).
Embed components of a Facebook Page onto a webpage.
That is the closest Meta gets. The Page Plugin shows your timeline and a follow button, and Embedded Posts shows one public post. Neither reads the Reviews tab, so a recommendation from a happy customer stays on Facebook unless you bring it across yourself.
What is a Facebook review now: stars or recommendations?
Facebook swapped star ratings for a Yes or No question in 2018. That changes what any widget can show.
Recommendations are a binary ‘Yes/No’ choice so reputation managers will need to look into the text of the feedback more to get the true story.
- The review is the text. People answer Yes or No, then write why, pick tags and can add photos. The words carry the proof, which suits a testimonial widget well.
- The Page score is still out of 5. Facebook keeps showing an overall rating, worked out from older star reviews and newer recommendations, but single recommendations have no stars.
- Do not set a minimum star rating when you import.A filter such as “4 stars and up” would skip every Facebook recommendation, because none has stars. Send them to your approval queue and choose by reading.
Which option is right for you?
A syncing tool suits a busy Page you want mirrored; an import suits proof spread across many sites. Five ways to show Facebook reviews, compared on what visitors see, whether it stays current and what it costs. We checked each one on 4 November 2026.
| Option | Who makes it | Shows reviews | Updates itself | Cost shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page Plugin (Meta) | Meta | Your Page's timeline, not reviews | Yes | Free | Showing that your Page is active |
| Embedded Posts (Meta) | Meta | One public post at a time | Yes | Free | Featuring a single post |
| Syncing widget | Elfsight, SociableKIT, Tagembed and others | Yes, recommendations | Yes, on the tool's schedule | Monthly plan; free tiers carry branding and view caps | A hands-off feed of one Page |
| Screenshot | You | Yes, as an image | No | Free | A quick fix, but text in an image cannot be read by search engines or screen readers |
| Import and own | testimonials.ltd | Yes, word for word | No, you run the import again | One payment, no monthly fee | Facebook next to Google, Trustpilot and your own testimonials |
When a syncing widget wins: Facebook is your main review site, new recommendations arrive every week and you want them on your site without lifting a finger. Tools such as Elfsight do that well, and they refresh on a schedule (about every 72 hours for Elfsight). The trade-off is the bill: the free plan stops at 200 views a month and shows their branding, and paid plans renew monthly. On WordPress, plugins such as Widgets for Reviews & Recommendations offer Facebook review widgets too.
When importing wins: your proof is spread across Facebook, Google, Trustpilot and customer emails, and you would rather pay once. Run the import again when you have a batch of new recommendations; only the new ones are added.
What does an imported reviews widget look like?
It looks like a row of cards, each with the review text, the reviewer's name and photo. Our carousel widget on a test page, captured from the real embed script. The reviews are real LigoSocial reviews from Trustpilot, AppSumo and the Chrome Web Store; Facebook cards look the same, without the stars.
Import them by chat
Connect Claude or ChatGPT to testimonials.ltd and paste your Page's reviews link. Each recommendation arrives with the reviewer's name, profile photo and link, the date and any photos, word for word. Free workspaces import 25 reviews a month; paid plans import all of them.

Facebook recommendations sit next to your Google reviews and the testimonials you collect. Pick the format that fits the spot, filter by label, and paste one snippet:
Where to paste the snippet
- WordPressAdd a Custom HTML block where the reviews go, paste, update the page.
- WixAdd, then Embed Code, then Embed HTML, and paste into the code box.
- SquarespaceAdd a Code block to the section and paste.
- ShopifyOnline Store, Themes, Customize, add a Custom Liquid section, paste.
- WebflowDrag a Code Embed element onto the page, paste, publish.
Two rules for any review widget
Keep every word. Editing a recommendation turns it into your words. Our cards never change the text and keep the reviewer's own name and photo.
If you pick, do not call it everything. The FTC's 2024 rule on reviews bars suppressing negative reviews or presenting a selection as all of them.
And skip the promise of search stars: Google's review snippet rules exclude reviews copied from other sites.
Need more recommendations first? Our free Facebook review link generator makes a direct link you can send to customers, and the Google review widget page covers the same import for your Google Maps reviews.
Questions people ask
Short answers to what business owners ask most about showing Facebook reviews on their own site.
Does Facebook have an official reviews widget?
No. Meta's list of social plugins covers the Share Button, the Page Plugin, Embedded Posts and Embedded Video. None of them displays your Page's reviews or recommendations, which is why every Facebook reviews widget you find is made by a third party.
How do I embed Facebook reviews on my website?
Use a third-party widget. Either connect a syncing tool such as Elfsight to your Page, or import the reviews into a tool you own, such as testimonials.ltd, approve the ones you want and paste the embed code into your site. Both end with one snippet in your page.
How do I add Facebook reviews to WordPress?
There are three routes. A free plugin from WordPress.org pulls your recommendations through your Page connection. A syncing tool such as Elfsight or SociableKIT gives you a code snippet for a monthly fee. Or import your recommendations into testimonials.ltd once and paste its snippet into a Custom HTML block where the reviews should appear.
Are Facebook reviews star ratings?
Not any more. Since 2018 Facebook asks people whether they recommend a business, Yes or No, and lets them add text, tags and photos. Pages still show an overall score out of 5, which Facebook calculates from old star reviews and newer recommendations.
Is there a free Facebook reviews widget?
Several tools have free plans, but they come with limits. Elfsight's free plan, for example, allows 200 widget views a month and shows Elfsight branding. A screenshot is free too, but it cannot be read by search engines and goes stale.
Why are my Facebook Page reviews not showing?
Usually because reviews are switched off for the Page. Admins can turn reviews on or off in the Page settings, and when they are off the Reviews tab disappears and no widget has anything to read. Also check that the Page is published and visible to the public.
Why is my Facebook reviews widget not working?
With a syncing widget, the usual causes are a disconnected Facebook login, a Page whose reviews were switched off, or a refresh that has not run yet: Elfsight, for example, checks for new recommendations about every 72 hours. An imported widget does not depend on Facebook at all once the reviews are in your account.
What comes across when testimonials.ltd imports Facebook reviews?
Each review's text, the reviewer's name, profile photo and profile link, the date, and any photos they attached, word for word. Facebook has no star rating to bring over, and the import does not record whether the reviewer recommended you, so read each one before you approve it.
Will the widget show stars for Facebook reviews?
No. Facebook recommendations have no stars, so their cards show the review text, name and photo without a rating. If you add a rating badge to your site, it averages only the reviews that have stars, from sites such as Google or Trustpilot.
Does the widget update when I get new Facebook reviews?
Not by itself. The import is a one-time copy. When you have new recommendations, run the import again from the same link and only the new ones are added, because reviews you already have are skipped.
Can I show only my best Facebook recommendations?
Yes, you choose which ones to approve. Showing your best reviews is normal, but the US FTC's 2024 rule on reviews bars hiding negative ones to make a selection look like all of your reviews, so do not label a hand-picked set as everything.
Will Facebook reviews on my site give me stars in Google?
No. Google's review snippet guidelines say not to aggregate reviews or ratings from other websites, and Facebook recommendations have no star rating to mark up in the first place.
