Embed Facebook Page Reviews into site

[OmegaSyn]

Hi All,

Im trying to find a way to add the reviews from my facebook into my weebly site, that will update on my site once someone posts a new review and its star raiting on facebook.

If possible, im also trying to get the app to allow you to rate and comment on my weebly site which will then push through to the Facebook page (not even sure if that aspect is possible)

Any help in this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Liam

Hi OmegaSyn,

Unfortunately, I don't have anything native to our platform that will accomplish that. I would say check what options are available with Facebook as far as code they can provide you, and try testing it with our Embed Code element. A friend passed me this link to check out, too:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/#page-plugin

Also, some of our other Weebly users here may have some tips?

Hi Brodie,

Thanks for the information, unfortunatly I already had a look at the link you provided, it seems that the feature works fine for a normal facebook page timeline, or a facebook business page timeline / events, but does not work with the Reviews Page (seems that the only page it doesnt work on which is frustraiting as thats the only page I need to display on my site)

I will check to see what Facebook have to offer like you said about embed coding, and hopefully another weebly user has had more success with this.

Thanks

Working with the native tools from Facebook can accomplish the task, but it is literally soul crushing. It's not ideal having to copy-paste each review individually, especially if you need reviews to automatically sync or update over time.

There's a good tutorial in this thread to write up a basic implementation in JavaScript to display some reviews on a post, but I strongly suggest using ReviewEmbed to embed Facebook reviews -- it has a free plan (no cc up front) and a great feature-set, and it looks absolutely beautiful out of the box. 

Check it out:

It's pretty simple to work with and used by a few thousand service-based businesses (they have a Pro membership with advanced features and removed branding)

They're adding Yelp reviews and an awesome tool to help you import reviews you've earned from one platform (like Facebook) to another (like Yelp) so you can have a through-and-through presence in all the right places.

Check out reviewsonmywebsite.com. It lets you retrieve your Facebook reviews and embed them into your website. You have to be the fb's page admin in order for it to work. When a new review is posted it will automatically notify you and add it to your widget. We tested it with a few clients on the weebly platform and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for sharing @vm90. Looks like they have a free plan and it could be used with the Embed Code element.

Where did you see the free plan for this? I could only see $5 per month for a facebook reviews feed. Google is free and there is a free trial...

Hi- this looks great (ReviewsOnMyWebsite) but its a pay-for service (free for google reviews, not facebook). Do you know any free services for facebook reviews only?

It looks like this app in our App Center will work with one channel (maybe they let you pick which one?) for free:

Here’s how to customize and embed Facebook page reviews on your Weebly website.

1. Get a Free Key or Paid Key.

2. Go to this login page and use the key to login.

3. Once logged in, click “+ Create Custom Feed” button.

4. On the pop up, name your custom Facebook page reviews feed.

5. On the drop-down, select “Facebook Page Reviews On Your Website” option.

6. Enter your Facebook Page ID. You must be an admin of this Facebook page.

7. Enter your Facebook Page Access Token.

8. Click the “Proceed” button. This will show you the customization options.

9. Click the “</> Embed On Website” button located on the upper-right corner of the screen.

10. On the pop up, copy the embed code by clicking the “Copy Code” button.

11. Paste the embed code on your Weebly website.

I found the solution by following this tutorial. You can see a live demo on that page as well.

Excellent detailed tutorial, it worked very well for me. The only thing I may add is that after you customized your feed it is better to use the Iframe code than the JavaScript when using Weebly. At least for me did not displayed properly

Hey all, 

Weebly is one of the best builders for embedding third party content.

As it comes with Facebook reviews the steps are very simple. 

Find a tool that syncs with the Facebook API and just connect your Facebook Page.  Most of the tools provide embeddable code that you will only need to paste it into the custom HTML field.

Here is a detailed step by step guide how you can use EmbedSocial for displaying Facebook reviews:

This product goes beyond a simple display of the Facebook reviews feed. It will notify you each time you get a Facebook review and you can also respond directly from the platform, very useful in case you manage multiple Facebook pages. 

On top of it, you can set up an Autoresponder that will reply each time you receive a review. 

Hope this helps.
