How to Embed Facebook Reviews on Any Website Automatically

Online reputation is one of the top 3 assets that we all need to nurture.

Most companies ask the most engaged customers to send them testimonials so they will later display on a website.

“We’ve done that too but realized that these testimonials or reviews are not a fixed content and we can not just rely on 3 testimonials that will forever slide on our website.” – Nikola Bojkov, CEO at EmbedSocial

We want new customer feedback as testimonials every single day. And the best place to get these testimonials is …. you guessed it = Facebook!

The Facebook platform allows us to generate and dynamically display these reviews on a website.

In the following text, you can read how you can do this manually or automatically using tools like EmbedReviews.

How to Get More Facebook Reviews? 7 Steps

Getting more Facebook reviews is an important way to build social proof and trust among your customers. These reviews not only showcase your business’s reputation but also have the potential to improve your search rankings on Facebook and Google. Here’s a breakdown of the steps to get you more reviews.

1. Enable Reviews on Your Facebook Page

As we mentioned above, ensure that the Reviews feature is activated on your Facebook business page. Navigate to your page settings, and then look for “Templates and Tabs.” There you can add the Reviews tab.

2. Craft a review strategy

Develop a set of guidelines for requesting reviews. Determine the timing, audience, and medium of communication for sending out your review requests. For instance, you might choose to ask for reviews from people who have just made a purchase or used your service.

Example:

• Timing: Ask for a review one week after purchase.
• Audience: Customers who have engaged with your posts recently.
• Medium: Via private Facebook messages, email, or in-app notifications.

3. Create Customized Review Invitations

Design an appealing and friendly invitation asking for a review. This could be an image, a video, or even just a well-crafted text message. Personalize the message to include the customer’s name or recent purchase to show you value their business.

4. Use different channels

Don’t limit yourself to just asking on Facebook. You can also send review requests through email, SMS, or even printed invoices.

Example:

• Email: “We noticed you purchased [Product]. We’d love to hear your thoughts! [Facebook Reviews Link]”
• SMS: “Enjoying [Product]? Give us a quick review! [Facebook Reviews Link]”

5. Incentivize the process

Offer an incentive like a discount, freebie, or entry into a giveaway to encourage customers to leave a review. However, make sure to comply with Facebook’s guidelines about promotions.

Learn more about incentivized reviews.

6. Make it easy

Always include a direct link to the Facebook review page in your invitation. The easier you make it for customers to leave a review, the more likely they are to follow through.

7. Follow up

If the customer didn’t leave a review after the first request, a gentle reminder could be useful. Just make sure not to spam or irritate your customers.

8. Monitor and respond to reviews

Always monitor new reviews and take time to respond. Thank your customers for positive reviews and address any concerns raised in negative reviews professionally. EmbedSocial provides a Facebook reviews autoresponder that will automatically send a reply to the reviews you receive on Facebook.
