What are social media and review widgets for beehiiv?
Social media widgets for beehiiv let you display live content from Google, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms directly on your website. Instead of manually swapping screenshots or pasting testimonials into static sections, a beehiiv review widget pulls content from connected sources automatically and keeps it updated as new reviews and posts come in.
On a beehiiv site, that can mean publishing Google reviews on a landing page, placing an Instagram feed on a custom page, embedding TikTok videos to add social proof, and showing shoppable UGC that points visitors toward the right product, offer, or signup path. One embed handles the display, which keeps the setup much cleaner than rebuilding proof sections by hand.
Why use EmbedSocial on beehiiv?
beehiiv is built for publishing and growth, so your website needs to do more than look clean. It needs to build trust fast and support conversion without creating extra manual work every time new proof appears.
EmbedSocial is a UGC and review management platform that combines AI-powered widget design, automatic syncing, and moderation controls so your social proof stays fresh without turning into a repetitive maintenance task.
From one account, you can manage Google reviews, Instagram feeds, TikTok videos, YouTube content, Facebook posts, testimonials, social proof notifications, and shoppable galleries. That means you can control your proof from one place instead of stitching together separate tools and disconnected sections.
EmbedSocial also helps turn visual proof into action by letting you tag products or offers directly inside shoppable widgets, so visitors can move from interest to click with less friction.
Reviews refresh automatically every 10 minutes, social feeds continue updating in the background, and new content can appear on your beehiiv pages within minutes of being published.
You can choose from 200+ templates or use the AI vibe editor to generate a widget design from a simple prompt.

How to add social media widgets to beehiiv
Follow these steps to embed any EmbedSocial widget on your beehiiv website pages:
Step 1: Create your EmbedSocial account
Sign up for a free EmbedSocial account at embedsocial.com. No credit card required. Choose one of 200+ templates or use the AI vibe editor to generate the layout you want.
Step 2: Connect your sources
Go to the Sources tab and connect the platforms you want to use—Google Business Profile for reviews, Instagram for posts and stories, TikTok for videos, YouTube for playlists, or Facebook for posts and reviews..
Step 3: Customize your widget
Choose a layout such as slider, grid, carousel, wall of love, or masonry. Apply filters by rating, keyword, or content type. Then adjust colours, fonts, spacing, and other style settings so the widget fits your beehiiv site.
Step 4: Copy your embed code
Open the Embed tab inside the widget editor and copy the JavaScript snippet for your widget.
Step 5: Add the widget to your beehiiv pages
In beehiiv, the clearest route is to use an HTML Snippet where that surface supports custom HTML. beehiiv’s help docs state that posts support custom HTML through the HTML Snippet option in the post editor, and beehiiv’s Website Builder supports custom pages and drag-and-drop site editing for your publication website.
One important limitation is that custom HTML does not behave the same everywhere: beehiiv notes that some elements are not compatible with email and some are not compatible with web. So for widget placement, the safe assumption is the web version of your beehiiv site or post, not the email version of the newsletter.
That means your best placement targets are beehiiv website pages, custom pages, and the web version of posts where HTML snippets are supported. Need help placing widgets on specific beehiiv pages? Contact our support team via live chat or email.
Note: The free plan supports a Google Maps source with a badge and currently shows 5 random Google reviews. For full review imports, shoppable widgets, and advanced controls, use a paid plan after the free trial. For beehiiv-ready UGC showcases, check the shoppable widget page.
