Facebook recommendations for a photographer's Showit site

Showit sites for photographers and other creatives are mostly images, so the words on them carry extra weight. Facebook recommendations are often about what it was like to work with you, which suits this kind of site. Two places tend to be overlooked: the blog, which runs on a different editor, and the About page.

Can Facebook recommendations go on my Showit blog posts?

Yes, but you paste them in WordPress, since Showit blogs run on it: add a Custom HTML block to the post with the same embed code.

Photographers often blog each session or wedding, and those posts are read by people deciding whether to book. A recommendation at the end of a post, after the story and the pictures, follows naturally from what the reader has just seen.

Do Facebook recommendations belong on my Showit About page?

Yes. The About page is where a visitor decides whether they would enjoy working with you, and that is exactly what recommendations tend to describe.

Place the widget after your introduction and before the inquiry button. On the mobile canvas, move it beneath your portrait and introduction rather than beside them, since a side-by-side arrangement rarely survives a narrow screen, and give its box enough height for the cards to stack.

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Facebook reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

How to Add Facebook Reviews to Showit

Connect your Facebook profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the Embed Code widget on Showit and publish.

  1. 1

    Open the page in the Showit design app.

  2. 2

    Add an Embed Code widget to the canvas where the reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the widget settings.

  4. 4

    Publish the site — the widget renders on the live page.

Size the Embed Code widget's canvas box to the widget's height per breakpoint — Showit positions are absolute.

Where the Code Goes on Showit

Showit places the snippet in an Embed Code widget on the design canvas, with the code entered in the widget's settings.

The design app shows a box for the widget rather than the reviews; the published site renders them. Showit positions every element absolutely, so the widget only gets the box you draw: set its width and height on the desktop canvas and again on the mobile canvas, allowing enough height for the reviews, or the content spills into whatever sits below. Portfolio and About pages are edited individually, so add the widget to each page before you publish.

If the widget does not show on Showit

  • Reviews overlapping the next canvas on the published site mean the Embed Code widget's box is shorter than the widget; make it taller and republish.
  • If the widget looks right on desktop but is clipped on phones, switch to the mobile canvas in Showit and resize the box there separately.
  • An empty box in the Showit design app is normal for the Embed Code widget; publish the site and check the live page for the reviews.

Still blank? Our help article Widget not showing covers the checks that apply on every site.

Embed Facebook reviews on any Showit page with a single copy-paste embed code. Turn Facebook recommendations into on-site proof. Installs via the Embed Code widget.

Where Facebook reviews help most on Showit

Local businesses on Showit are often studios, salons, photographers and small shops whose site is mostly images.

On pages like that the Facebook widget should read as part of the design: one row after the portfolio or gallery, in a style that matches the site's colours, followed by the booking or contact button. Clients choosing a stylist or a photographer look at the work first and then check that other people were happy, so that order matters. A single-page site needs only one placement. If you keep a separate booking page, a compact badge beside the calendar helps the visitor who skipped straight to 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.

Facebook Widget on Showit — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Facebook review widget free for Showit?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Facebook reviews on Showit. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on Showit?
Open the page in the Showit design app. Add an Embed Code widget to the canvas where the reviews should appear. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the widget settings. Publish the site — the widget renders on the live page.
Anything specific to Showit worth knowing before I embed?
Size the Embed Code widget's canvas box to the widget's height per breakpoint — Showit positions are absolute.
Where should I place Facebook reviews on Showit for the biggest lift?
Portfolio and About pages — photographers convert on proof next to the inquiry button.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Facebook reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Showit again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
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.
