Social Snacks Episode 31: How to Add Facebook Reviews to A Facebook Page

Did you know that you can add Facebook reviews to a Facebook Page?

By adding Facebook reviews to your Facebook Page, not only can your customers see what others have to say about your business.

You can also use this as an opportunity to collect feedback using the testimonials that they leave on your Facebook Page to help improve your business.
 
Previously, if you wanted to add the star ratings and reviews to your Facebook Page, you needed to have a physical address.
 
While this worked for a physical brick-and-mortar business, if you had an online business, you had to use your personal address, which a lot of business owners didn't feel comfortable doing.
 
Fortunately, Facebook has made the process to set up star ratings and reviews on your Facebook Page even easier!

You also don't need to have a physical location to add reviews to your Page.

On this episode of Social Snacks, you will learn how to add Facebook reviews to a Facebook Page.

This way your business can begin collecting reviews and star ratings from customers.

Let's take a look at how you add reviews to your Facebook Page.

This is also where you can disable Facebook reviews on your page.

At this point, you should be able to see that you have added Facebook reviews to your Facebook Page.
 

Customizing the Facebook Reviews Tab

After you add Facebook reviews to a Facebook Page, you will also want to adjust the reviews section in the "tabs" area.

This way your Facebook Page reviews are easy for customers to get to.

If you don't see "reviews" listed on your Facebook Page, click on "manage tabs."

You can also get to the reviews area under Settings > Edit Page > Reviews.

If you want to turn off the Facebook reviews tab or change its location, here are instructions on how to do that.
 

1. Edit Your Page Settings

If you want to hide the reviews tab on your Facebook Page, click on the "Settings" button.

Next, make sure the button is set to off.

This will also hide Facebook reviews from your timeline as well.
 

How to Share Your Facebook Reviews Tab

Once you add Facebook star ratings and reviews to a Facebook Page that you manage, here are some things you can do to share your Facebook reviews.
 

1. Get your Facebook reviews link

Under Settings > Edit Page > Reviews, you have a direct link you can share with customers to gather reviews.

You can also get this link by right-clicking on the star ratings on the front of your Facebook Page.

Here you can see which reviews were most helpful, recent reviews and view them based on their star rating.
 

2. Embed Facebook Reviews

As you have more and more customers leave a review about your business, another thing you can do with your reviews is to display them on your blog or website to add "social proof" for potential customers.

To embed Facebook reviews on your Facebook Page, go to your Facebook Page reviews link.

For example, the link to our Facebook Page reviews is http://www.facebook.com/socialchefs/reviews/.

Click on the dropdown arrow for a Facebook review and click the "embed" option.

Here is how to get the embed code for your Facebook reviews from your Facebook Page.

  • Thanks for writing this article. I’ve been wondering how people get reviews to their Facebook pages. Now I know!

    • You’re very welcome @virginianakitari:disqus. It’s a question we get asked a lot about from business owners.

    • Facebook used to make adding the star ratings and reviews feature only available to businesses with a physical location @virginianakitari:disqus. We’re glad to have a simplified process for any type of business to be able to add Facebook reviews to a Facebook Page. Now every business should be gathering reviews and testimonials from customers.

    I have a business page set up. Nowhere anywhere is there a tab or option for reviews (edit page info, settings). Doesn’t exist. The category is “Business Service”–there is not a “Local Business Option.” I’ve also tried this as “Local Service” and “Education.” None of these categories bring about an option to turn Reviews on/off or add a Reviews tab. What am I missing?

    • We think there is something wrong with your account. We just tested this on a handful of other Pages using the same “business service” category and we’re able to then go in to edit the page and add the reviews tab. One thing you may want to check is on the front of your page, click the … option and select edit page info. There, take a look at your location settings. You may need to turn them off and delete your address. Then logout and back in and re-enable.

    • @scottkerman:disqus, try clicking on the “add a tab” option at the bottom of the second screenshot that you shared and let us know if you can add reviews from there.

        Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, it’s not one of the options for adding a tab. I’ve tried other page templates too. No luck.
