Facebook recommendations vs star reviews
Facebook replaced star ratings on Pages with recommendations (Yes or No plus text). This is why pages and widgets talk about recommendations rather than five-star reviews. Your widgets will show the recommendation text, the reviewer's name and the date, depending on the layout you choose. You need admin access to the Facebook Page, and Recommendations must be enabled on the Page for there to be anything to sync. Reviewer names and photos are public Facebook content, so check your privacy policy covers displaying them.
Setup requirements and tips
- Use a Facebook account that has admin or equivalent access to the Business Page you want to connect.
- Check the Page's Reviews or Recommendations setting is switched on.
- Use a minimum-rating or positive-only filter carefully; show a fair mix where possible.
- Combine Facebook with Google reviews in one widget to show breadth of proof.
- On the Pro plan you can sync Google, Facebook and Instagram together (per ProofBeer's pricing page).
Troubleshooting Facebook Reviews setup
My Page does not appear
The Facebook account is not an admin of the Page, or the Page is a personal profile. Add the account as an admin or use the correct login.
No recommendations show
Check Recommendations is enabled on the Page and that there are public recommendations.
The connection stopped working
Facebook tokens can expire when passwords change or permissions are revoked. Reconnect from the integrations screen.
Some recommendations are missing
Facebook may hide content that is deleted, private or from restricted accounts.
Facebook asks for many permissions
Review the permissions screen and grant only what is needed to read Page recommendations. See ProofBeer's privacy policy.
Detailed Facebook Reviews setup, step by step
- In ProofBeer open the review integrations screen.
- Select Facebook Pages.
- Sign in with a Facebook account that administers the Page.
- Approve the requested permissions.
- Choose the Page to sync.
- Create a widget and choose the Facebook source.
- Set filters and layout.
- Copy the snippet and embed it on your site.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Trying to connect a personal profile.
- Not enabling Recommendations on the Page.
- Granting permissions to the wrong Page.
- Assuming star ratings will appear.
- Not reviewing privacy wording for displayed names.
How the Facebook Reviews integration works
You sign in with Facebook and select the Page you manage. ProofBeer reads the Page's public recommendations and shows them in your widget. The widget updates as new recommendations arrive, subject to the sync interval.

How this compares with the alternatives
Facebook's own page plugin can show page content but not a styled recommendations wall. ProofBeer gives you widget layouts that match your site.
Privacy and trust notes
Displaying another person's name and comment on your site is a privacy decision. State in your privacy policy that you display public social reviews. Do not edit the wording of recommendations. Under GDPR and similar laws, respect removal requests promptly. For SEO, show review text as page content and do not expect star snippets from self-hosted reviews.

ProofBeer is an all-in-one social proof platform for websites. It combines AI-assisted feedback forms, automatic Google, Facebook and Instagram review sync, and embeddable testimonial widgets in one dashboard. ProofBeer is software and is not related to beer or alcohol.
What syncs
Facebook Page recommendations, including recommendation text, reviewer name and date, shown as testimonials in widgets.
Step by step
- In ProofBeer, open Integrations and choose Facebook. 2. Follow the connection prompt and approve access. 3. Choose what to import and set filters (rating, date, keywords where available). 4. Add the synced items to a widget or Wall of Love. 5. Copy the embed snippet into your site.
Best places to show it
Landing pages, contact pages, local business pages and near booking buttons.
Use it responsibly
Keep the original wording and show where it came from. Do not hide all negative items, do not offer incentives for positive reviews only, and follow Facebook's own terms. Rules differ by region; this is not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I filter or hide Facebook recommendations?
Yes. You can filter what appears and hide individual items from widgets without deleting them on Facebook. Keep the reviewer's words unchanged, link to the source and avoid hiding all critical feedback, which can mislead visitors and may breach consumer rules in some regions.
