The EmbedReviews platform allows you to easily import your current reviews that you save in a spreadsheet or reviews you downloaded from third-party platforms. Once you do this, you can display them in a widget on your website.
To import reviews, you will need to make sure your reviews are structured in a spreadsheet according to the following guidelines:
Import reviews file specification
The Reviews Import tool accepts data in comma-separated values (CSV) file format. The first row of the template or data file contains column headings. Each subsequent row corresponds to a custom review that needs to be imported.
You can upload a maximum of 500 reviews in one file. Download the template file here.
Columns:
name, review_date, rating, review_text, email, tags, custom_link, reviewer_photo_url
name: Reviewer name
review_date: You can choose the date format
rating: Number 1 – 5
review_text: Review text
email: Reviewer email
tags: Review tags, comma-separated
custom_link: Individual Review link. This link will take precedence over the source link
reviewer_photo_url: Reviewer photo URL
Required columns are name, review_date, and rating. The other columns may be empty, but they must be comma-separated
