The Solution
Why add Facebook reviews to your website?
Facebook reviews are a powerful tool for building credibility and trust in a brand as well as increasing the visibility and popularity of the website.
Some valuable reasons to add Facebook reviews to your website include:
Adding social proof and building trust easily
Reviews from real customers can offer social proof that your products or services are of high quality and that other customers have had positive experiences with your brand. This can help build trust so that new potential customers are more likely to try out your brand.
Having a good number of reviews with high ratings is also immensely helpful in creating authentic trust.
More information from customers to other customers about your product
Reviews can help potential customers make better, well-informed decisions with comprehensive and candid information about the products or services offered. This increases the website’s credibility by showcasing that your brand is transparent and willing to offer accurate and honest information to customers.
Reviews help search engine optimization
Having a volume of positive reviews can also help to increase the visibility of a website on search engines because they are likely to use keywords to rank your website. This can help to bring more traffic to the website and increase its credibility by demonstrating that it is a reputable and popular source of information.

What is a Facebook review widget?
A Facebook review widget is a piece of code or a plugin that is added to your website, to allow customers to view reviews on your website. The Elfsight widget also lets customers leave a review of your business on Facebook directly from your website, which is automatically added to your Facebook account.
A Facebook reviews widget typically includes the business’s name, rating, and a selection of reviews from customers. It can be added to various pages on the website, such as the homepage, product pages, or a dedicated “reviews” page. It is a way to showcase reviews in a visually appealing format, and it can also be used to filter reviews by specific criteria, such as star ratings or dates.
