Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Carrd?

Facebook has no embed and Carrd has no app ecosystem — BlooTrue is the free path through the Embed element.

Fills Facebook's Missing Embed

Facebook doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — it pulls reviews from your public Facebook page automatically.

Keeps Visitors on Your Page

Linking out to your Facebook Page sends visitors to a page where competitors are one tap away. Embedding the reviews keeps the proof — and the booking — on your own site.

Fits the One-Page Flow

The widget renders within whatever section width Carrd gives it. Compact badge under your hours and address, or a slider band above your booking link — nothing breaks the layout.

No Facebook API Key Required

Works with any public Facebook Page. No Facebook Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a Facebook widget different from a Google review widget?

Facebook's recommendation system works differently from star-based platforms like Google. Knowing how recommendations become stars, and how Page moderation works, avoids surprises after you embed.

How BlooTrue turns Facebook recommendations into star ratings

Facebook retired numeric star ratings in 2018. Instead, visitors tap Recommends or Doesn't recommend and write a short comment, and the Page shows a percentage of people who recommend it. BlooTrue normalizes that into the star format your other widgets use: each “Recommends” renders as a 5-star review, each “Doesn't recommend” as 1 star, and the Page's overall recommendation percentage becomes a clean 0–5 star header rating. The result is a Facebook widget that looks and reads exactly like your Google or Yelp widget — no confusing percentages on your site. The header rating always comes from Facebook's own published aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards.

Where the recommendations come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible recommendations from your Facebook Page on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls Facebook directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on Facebook being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only recommendations that are public on your Page are included; anything set to private or hidden by the Page owner is never pulled. Each recommendation keeps its reviewer name, photo, and comment, and links back to your Facebook Page.

Turning on recommendations and what shows up in the widget

Recommendations only appear if your Page has the Reviews / Recommendations section enabled and public. If your Page is brand new or has recommendations switched off, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — turn the section on in your Page settings and the widget will populate as soon as your first public recommendation lands. Once enabled, the widget shows whatever your Page shows publicly: no more, no less. If a recommendation disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the reviewer deleted it or Facebook removed it — the widget simply follows your Page's public state.

Moderation, Community Standards, and attribution

Facebook moderates recommendations under its Community Standards and removes spam, hate speech, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your Page's public recommendations, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content Facebook has already taken down. Every card keeps the Facebook mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your Facebook Page, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty “Recommends” with no comment is still shown as a real recommendation, and the header number is always Facebook's own aggregate.

Facebook tips for Carrd

  • Carrd embeds require the Pro Standard plan ($19/yr) or higher — the free tier does not support Embed elements.
  • On a one-pager, place the Facebook widget directly above your contact or booking section so visitors see proof right before they act.
  • Set the Embed element's Type to Code (not URL) — the widget then sizes itself to the Carrd container width automatically.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Facebook on Carrd?

Takes less than a minute via the Embed element. You'll need Carrd Pro Standard ($19/yr) or higher.

1

Open Your Site in the Carrd Editor

Log into carrd.co and open your site in the editor.

2

Position it where the reviews should sit — under your hours and address, or as a band just above your booking or contact link.

3

Facebook Review Widget for Carrd — Free Widget, One-Page Fit

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for Carrd is a free embed that displays your Facebook reviews on any Carrd one-page site. Carrd is known for link-in-bio pages and freelancer portfolios, but a surprising number of local businesses — barbers, tattoo artists, food trucks, pet groomers — run their entire web presence on a single Carrd page, and for them Facebook is where the reviews live. Two gaps stand between those reviews and your page: Facebook publishes no official embed widget for merchants (its Fusion API is gated for partner apps), and Carrd has no app ecosystem — the Embed element is its only extension surface. BlooTrue bridges both. One thing to know up front: embeds are a paid Carrd feature — the Embed element requires the Pro Standard plan ($19/yr) or higher. The BlooTrue widget itself is free, so $19/yr is the total cost of the stack. The install: click + to add an element, choose Embed, set Type to Code, paste the snippet, click Done, then Publish. The widget renders responsively within whatever section or container width Carrd gives it. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page, which makes it eligible for star ratings in Google search results where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe.

Why doesn't Facebook have an official embed?

Facebook's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by sites like Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than a merchant self-service product. Facebook does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. For Carrd the gap is total — there is no app ecosystem to fill it — so a third-party embed through the Embed element is the only way to surface Facebook reviews on a Carrd page. BlooTrue is the free way to do it.

About Facebook reviews in this widget

The Facebook widget embeds the recommendations left on your Facebook Page. Facebook retired star ratings for Pages in 2018, so there is no native Facebook star average; the widget shows each Recommends as a 5-star card and turns the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure for the header, both read from your Page. A customer leaves a recommendation by tapping Recommends or Doesn't recommend and writing a comment, which only works once Reviews are switched on in your Page settings. Many owners reach for Facebook's Page Plugin instead, an iframe of your timeline with no way to feature recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facebook only lets people click Recommends, so what rating does my widget display?

Facebook dropped numeric stars for Pages in 2018, so the widget does not invent a Facebook star average. Each Recommends becomes a 5-star card, and the header converts the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure. Both come from your Page, not from a calculation over the cards on your site.

Can I use Facebook's own Page Plugin to embed my recommendations?

No. The Page Plugin drops your whole Page timeline into an iframe and has no setting to show only recommendations, and Facebook's own tools cannot place them on an external site at all. The BlooTrue builder takes your Page URL instead and gives you a one-line embed, with no Facebook ad spend and no plugin required.

My Page has no Reviews tab, so where would the recommendations come from?

They only exist once you turn them on: open your Facebook Page settings, find the Reviews or Recommendations option and switch it on. Until then customers cannot tap Recommends and the builder finds nothing to import. A free widget holds the recommendations found that day; paid plans check the Page daily and drop the BlooTrue badge.

Which Carrd plan do I need to embed Facebook reviews?

Carrd's Pro Standard plan ($19/yr) or higher. The Embed element — Carrd's only surface for third-party code — is a paid feature; it isn't on the free tier or Pro Lite. The BlooTrue widget itself is free, so $19/yr is the total cost of the setup.

Does Facebook offer its own embed widget for Carrd?

No. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for businesses — Facebook's Fusion API is gated for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. Carrd has no app ecosystem at all, so there's no Facebook app to install either. BlooTrue bridges both gaps with a free embed.

Do I need a Facebook API key or Facebook Fusion access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Facebook Page — no Facebook API key, no Facebook Fusion application, no business-level claim required.

Will the Facebook widget fit a one-page Carrd layout?

Yes. The widget is fully responsive and renders within whatever section or container width Carrd gives it — no overflow, no horizontal scroll. The compact badge takes a single row; the slider works as a full-width band above your booking link.

Is a Facebook widget useful on a one-page Carrd site for a local business?

Very. Barbers, tattoo artists, food trucks, and pet groomers often run their entire web presence on a one-page Carrd site, and their customers check Facebook before visiting. Embedding those reviews keeps the proof on your page instead of sending visitors to facebook.com, where competitors are one tap away.

Where exactly do I paste the embed code in the Carrd editor?

Click the + button to add an element, choose Embed, set Type to Code, paste the BlooTrue Facebook embed code, click Done, then Publish.

Will the widget slow down my Carrd site?

No. Carrd sites are famously lightweight and the widget keeps them that way: it loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
