How to Add Reviews to Teachable: School Level, Course Pages

Teachable gives you a school and the school holds courses, and those two levels answer different questions. Your public reviews are about the school: about you as a teacher, about whether the material was worth the money, about whether anybody answered when a student got stuck. A course sales page is where somebody weighs one specific course, and half of that weighing is about the course and half is about you. School-level proof is exactly the right answer to the second half, which is why the same widget belongs on every course page.

The Custom HTML Block

Add a Custom HTML block where the reviews should appear and paste the widget embed into it. There is no code view to switch into and no escaping to work around.

The editor may show the raw block rather than the rendered content while you are working, so open the published school page to see the result and to judge the height.

Keep it in its own block so it can be copied to another course page without carrying surrounding content with it.

School and Course Are Different Levels

A Teachable school is the business and the courses are the products. Public reviews sit at the school level, because that is what a Google or Facebook profile is attached to.

That is not a limitation. A student choosing a course is asking two questions, whether this course covers what they need and whether the person teaching it is worth paying, and only the second is answered by a profile rating.

So the same rating on every course page is correct. It is not the same claim repeated, it is the answer to the half of the decision that does not change between courses.

Course Sales Pages Are the Placement

The school home page gets browsed. The course sales page gets decided on. Traffic from an ad, a link or a search usually lands directly on a course rather than on the front door.

Put the widget below the curriculum and above the enrol button on each course page, which is the point where a student has understood the content and is weighing whether to trust the teacher.

The home page can carry a compact badge for anyone who does start there, but the course pages are where the work happens.

Not Inside the Course

The course player is for enrolled students. They have paid, they are trying to learn something, and testimonials in that space are competing with the material they came for.

There is a related temptation to add reviews to a members dashboard or a community area for the same reason people add them everywhere, which is that the block is easy to copy. Resist it there too.

The only exception worth considering is a page inside the school that sells a second course to existing students, which is a sales page in everything but location.

How Do You Build the Widget?

Paste your Google, Trustpilot or Facebook profile URL, preview your real reviews and rating, then choose from over 100 layout styles across the slider, marquee, grid, list, masonry and badge families, and match the colours to the school theme.

A compact layout works well here because a course sales page already has a long curriculum section, and adding a second tall block pushes the enrol button further from the reader.

The header rating comes from the platform aggregate rather than from the cards on screen. Free plan, unlimited widget views, which matters when a course launch drives a burst of traffic.

Where Should the Reviews Go?

Below the curriculum and above the enrol button on every course sales page. The curriculum answers what and the reviews answer whether you are worth it.

A compact badge near the school header or on the about page is a reasonable second placement for visitors who arrive at the front door.

Nowhere inside the course player. The audience there has already decided and the space belongs to the material.
