SEO + AI schema · paid plans

Get golden stars in Google search results

On paid plans, every BlooTrue widget injects schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD straight into your page — so Google and AI answer engines can read your ratings and reviews as structured data, and your pages become eligible for star-rating rich snippets. (Google treats a business's own reviews on its own site as "self-serving" and doesn't guarantee stars for them — product/service reviews are the most reliably eligible; either way your reviews become machine-readable for search and AI.)

(127)

This is what your customers see when they Google you — powered by BlooTrue's JSON-LD.

Zero config — it just works
The moment you embed a BlooTrue widget, JSON-LD markup is injected automatically. No extra tags, no developer time.
Google Rich Results valid
Every field follows Google's current structured-data guidelines — LocalBusiness, AggregateRating, and Review — so it passes the Rich Results Test out of the box.
Standalone schema endpoint Paid plans
For star ratings to appear under your parent page's blue link in Google, search engines need the schema on the parent page itself — iframe-embedded schema is not propagated to the host page. Paid plans expose a JSON-LD endpoint per widget that you drop into your<head>for SERP rich snippets on product, landing, or legacy pages. Schema markup is a paid feature: free-plan widgets display your reviews but don't emit JSON-LD, so free pages aren't eligible for rich snippets.

What gets injected automaticallylive

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Your Business",
  "aggregateRating": {
    "ratingValue": "4.9",
    "reviewCount": "127"
  }
}
</script>

Star-snippet visibility is ultimately decided by Google — valid schema is a prerequisite, not a guarantee. BlooTrue ships the markup; Google decides which queries get stars. For SERP rich snippets to appear under your parent page's link, the schema must be served on the parent page itself — that's what the standalone JSON-LD endpoint (paid plans) is for. Schema markup is a paid feature, so free-plan widgets display your reviews but don't emit JSON-LD. Independent studies find pages with valid review schema see materially higher click-through rates than plain listings.

Why Use BlooTrue for Facebook on Joomla?

The only free way to put Facebook reviews on a Joomla 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.

No Joomla Extension Required

Pure HTML embed. No Joomla Extensions Directory install, no extension permissions, no recurring license fee.

Works on Joomla 3, 4, and 5

Works with Cassiopeia (J4/J5), Protostar (J3), and every third-party template (JoomShaper, YooTheme, JoomLart).

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 Joomla

Joomla's Custom HTML module renders the Facebook widget without requiring any third-party Facebook extension.
If your Joomla template applies a CSS reset that strips icon fonts, the Facebook mark may not appear — scope the reset to exclude `.bt-widget` containers.
Facebook's widget is compatible with Joomla's built-in caching plugins (it cache-busts via its own iframe).

How Do I Install BlooTrue Facebook on Joomla?

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

Build Your Widget (Above)

Scroll up and use the configurator on this page. Paste your Facebook Page URL (e.g. facebook.com/yourpage-slug) and your real reviews load into the live preview.

No sign-up, no Facebook API key, no business-level claim required.

Customize the Look

Pick one of 100+ styles, choose light or dark theme, set your accent color, and toggle reviewer names / dates / profile images on or off.

Copy the Embed Code

Click Copy Code. The embed is a single HTML snippet — no Joomla extension install, no PHP overrides.

Paste into Joomla

Module placement (Joomla 4/5): Open Content → Site Modules, click + New, choose Custom, click Toggle Editor (or </>) to switch to HTML, paste, set the Position and Menu Assignment, then Save.

Joomla 3: Same flow via Extensions → Modules → New → Custom HTML.

Inline article placement: Edit the article, click Toggle editor, and paste the embed code where you want reviews.

Reviews auto-sync from Facebook every 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BlooTrue Facebook widget free for Joomla?▼

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Joomla. No extension install, no JED license fee, unlimited views, no sign-up required to preview.

Does Facebook offer its own embed widget for Joomla?▼

No. Facebook does not provide an official embed widget for businesses. Facebook's Fusion API is gated and primarily intended for partner apps. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Facebook business page.

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.

Do I need a Joomla extension to display Facebook reviews?▼

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that drops into a built-in Joomla Custom HTML module. Joomla ships the Custom HTML module type on every install.

Does the widget work on Joomla 3, Joomla 4, and Joomla 5?▼

Yes, all three. The Custom HTML module type ships with every modern Joomla version. Admin navigation differs slightly — J4/J5 use Content → Site Modules, J3 uses Extensions → Modules — but the embed code is identical.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on Joomla?▼

For module placement, open Content → Site Modules (J4/J5) or Extensions → Modules (J3), click + New, choose Custom, click Toggle Editor (or </>) to switch to HTML, paste, set the Position, and assign it to menu items. For inline article placement, edit the article, click Toggle editor, and paste.

Will the widget slow down my Joomla site?▼

No. The widget loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, and lazy loading defers image fetches. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
