Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Jimdo?

The only free way to put Facebook reviews on your Jimdo site — Facebook itself doesn't offer an embed.

Fills Facebook's Missing Embed

Facebook doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — pulls reviews from your public Facebook page automatically, into the standard Jimdo Widget/HTML element.

Works on Creator and Dolphin / AI Builder

Both Jimdo editors ship the Widget/HTML element. Paste the same BlooTrue snippet into the HTML field on either editor — no plugin, no Jimdo-specific configuration.

Works on Free .jimdofree.com Sites

The Widget/HTML element is available on every Jimdo plan, including the free .jimdofree.com tier. BlooTrue's free plan and Jimdo's free plan stack — zero recurring cost.

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 Jimdo

Jimdo's "Widget / HTML" module is the right place to paste the Facebook widget snippet — not the "Text" module.
For Jimdo Dolphin (AI-built) sites, the widget renders inside any custom HTML section without overriding the Dolphin layout.
Facebook's widget renders identically across Jimdo Free and Jimdo Pro plans — no plan-tier gating on the BlooTrue side.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Facebook on Jimdo?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no plugin install, no Facebook API key.

Open Your Site in the Jimdo Editor

Log in at jimdo.com and open your site in the Jimdo editor. The same install steps work on both Jimdo Creator (the classic drag-and-drop builder) and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder (the newer AI-powered editor).

Both Jimdo products are still actively maintained and both ship the Widget/HTML element.

Add a Widget/HTML Element

Jimdo Creator: Hover over the position where you want the reviews to appear and click + Add Element. The inline element picker opens — scroll to the Widget/HTML tile and click it.

Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder: Click the + floating button between sections, then click More, then choose Widget.

Same element, slightly different menu path — pick whichever editor you use.

Paste into the HTML Field (Not the URL Field)

Paste the BlooTrue Facebook embed code into the HTML field of the Widget/HTML element. The element has two inputs and the distinction matters:

HTML field — accepts raw HTML and JavaScript. This is where the BlooTrue snippet goes.
URL field — for embedding an entire other website inside an iframe. The BlooTrue snippet will not work here because the URL field expects a single URL, not a script tag.

If you accidentally paste into the URL field, the widget will silently fail — switch to the HTML field.

Save, Preview, and Publish

Click Save inside the Widget/HTML element, then click Preview in the top right of the Jimdo editor to verify the reviews render. Once you're happy, click Publish.

Reviews auto-sync from Facebook every 24 hours.

Facebook Review Widget for Jimdo — Free, Fills Facebook's Embed Gap

BlooTrue's Facebook Review Widget for Jimdo is a free embed that displays your reviews on any Jimdo site — works with both Jimdo Creator and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder via the Widget/HTML element. Facebook has no official embed widget for merchants — only third-party widgets like BlooTrue can put Facebook reviews on Jimdo. The free Jimdo plan (.jimdofree.com subdomain with Jimdo branding) supports the widget; paid Jimdo plans (Start at $9, Grow at $15, Unlimited at $39) work identically. Jimdo does not have a third-party app marketplace like Wix or Shopify, so there is no plugin to install — the widget is just an HTML snippet you paste into a Widget/HTML element. No Facebook API key, no Facebook Fusion application, no business-level claim required. Strong support for DACH-region domains (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) since Jimdo is German-origin and these are its core markets.

Why doesn't Facebook have an official embed for Jimdo?

Facebook's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by sites like Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than as a merchant self-service product. Facebook does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way Jimdo sites surface their Facebook reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category, and pastes directly into the standard Jimdo Widget/HTML element.

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.

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for Jimdo?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Jimdo. No Jimdo plugin, no app store install (Jimdo has no third-party app marketplace), unlimited views, no credit card. The free plan shows your Facebook reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does this work on both Jimdo Creator and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder?

Yes. Both Jimdo products are still actively maintained and both ship the Widget/HTML element. The menu path differs slightly: in Jimdo Creator click "+ Add Element" → "Widget/HTML"; in Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder click the "+" button → "More" → "Widget". The HTML field accepts the BlooTrue Facebook embed code identically on both editors.

Where exactly is the Widget/HTML element on each Jimdo editor?

On Jimdo Creator, hover the position where you want the reviews and click "+ Add Element" — the inline element picker opens, scroll to the "Widget/HTML" tile and click it. On Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder, click the "+" floating button between sections, then click "More", then choose "Widget". In both cases an empty box appears with two fields: paste your BlooTrue Facebook embed code into the HTML field (not the URL field).

Will the widget work on a free .jimdofree.com subdomain?

Yes. The BlooTrue Facebook widget works on every Jimdo plan, including the free tier on .jimdofree.com subdomains. The Widget/HTML element is available on Jimdo Free as well as the paid Start ($9), Grow ($15), and Unlimited ($39) plans.

Can I customize the widget colors to match my Jimdo template?

Yes. The style gallery on this page and the BlooTrue builder let you pick from 100+ widget styles, light or dark themes, and a custom accent color (free hex picker). The outer background is transparent so the widget blends with any Jimdo template — Creator templates, Dolphin / AI Builder templates, and DACH-region (German / Austrian / Swiss) domains all work the same way.

Will the widget slow down my Jimdo site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your Jimdo page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Why is the URL field different from the HTML field on the Widget/HTML element?

The Widget/HTML element on Jimdo has two distinct inputs. The HTML field accepts raw HTML and JavaScript and is the correct place for the BlooTrue Facebook embed code — paste here. The URL field is intended for embedding an entire other website inside an iframe (e.g. another tool you host elsewhere). Pasting the BlooTrue snippet into the URL field will not work because the URL field expects a single URL, not an HTML/script tag.
