How to Share Google Reviews on Facebook

Your Google Business Profile is collecting valuable praise from happy customers, but that social proof is sitting on an island. To get the most out of every 5-star review, you need to bring it directly to your audience on Facebook. This guide will walk you through exactly how to share your Google reviews on your Facebook page, from simple screenshots to creating eye-catching graphics that stop the scroll and build trust.

Why Share Google Reviews on Facebook? It's More Than Just a Brag

Before jumping into the "how," let's quickly touch on the "why." Sharing customer reviews is one of the most powerful and authentic marketing moves you can make. It's not just about filling your content calendar, it's a strategic way to build your brand and connect with your community.

• Instant Social Proof: A potential customer seeing unbiased praise from a real person is far more convincing than any advertisement you could create. It tells them, "People like you trust this business, and so can you."
• Fresh, User-Generated Content: Struggling with what to post? Your customers are creating fantastic content for you every single day. Sharing their reviews is an easy, genuine way to keep your feed active and authentic.
• Wider Audience Reach: Not everyone who follows you on Facebook has found you on Google, and vice versa. By cross-promoting reviews, you're making sure that positive feedback reaches the largest possible audience.
• Reinforces Brand Values: When you share a review that highlights your excellent customer service, fast shipping, or high-quality product, you're reinforcing what makes your business special. You're showing, not just telling, people what you stand for.
• Encourages More Reviews: When people see that you celebrate and appreciate customer feedback, it subtly encourages them to leave their own reviews in the future.

Method 1: The Quick Screenshot (Simple, Fast, and Effective)

This is the most straightforward method and perfect for when you're short on time. It takes just a minute and is incredibly effective because it looks authentic and unedited. People instantly recognize the Google review format, which adds to its credibility.

Step-by-Step Guide to Sharing a Screenshot

1. Find Your Reviews: The easiest way is to search for your business name on Google. Your Google Business Profile should appear on the right side of the search results. Click on the link that shows your star rating and the number of reviews. This will open a window displaying all your reviews.
2. Choose the Perfect Review: Scroll through and find a gem. Look for reviews that are specific and highlight a key benefit of your business. A review that says, "The team went above and beyond to fix my issue in under an hour!" is much more powerful than a simple "Great service."
3. Take a Clean Screenshot: Capture just the review itself - the customer's name, the star rating, and their text. Crop out any unnecessary browser tabs, address bars, or other distractions on your screen. You want the customer's name and review to be the hero.
   • On a Mac: Press Command + Shift + 4, then click and drag to select the area.
   • On a Windows PC: Open the Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch app to capture a specific section of your screen.
4. Write a Compelling Facebook Caption: This is where you add context and personality. Don't just post the image and call it a day. A great caption can double a post's impact.
   • Thank the Customer Directly: Start with a warm thank you. "We were so thrilled to read this! Thank you for the kind words, [Customer Name]!"
   • Pull Out a Key Quote: Grab the most impactful sentence from the review and put it directly in your caption. It makes the post more readable for people scrolling quickly.
   • Add a Personal Touch: Connect the review to your team or your mission. For example, "Feedback like this makes our day! Our team works so hard to..."
   • Include a Call-to-Action (CTA): What do you want people to do after reading this?
     • "Experience our 5-star service for yourself! Book an appointment here: [Your Link]"
     • "See what others are saying about us on Google! [Link to your Google Reviews]"
     • "What's your favorite thing about [Your Product]? Let us know in the comments!"
5. Post it!: Upload the screenshot and your polished caption to your Facebook page. You're all set.

Method 2: Create Custom Branded Graphics (For a Polished Look)

If you want to take your social proof to the next level, turning reviews into branded graphics is the way to go. This makes your feed look more professional, reinforces your brand identity, and creates a visually consistent style that your followers will come to recognize. It proves a point that you're proud enough of the review that you invested the time to create an image around it.

You don't need to be a graphic designer to do this. Free tools like Canva make it incredibly simple with drag-and-drop templates.

Designing Your Review Graphic in 5 Steps

1. Start with the Right Template: Open Canva (or a similar tool) and create a new design. Search for "Facebook Post" to get a blank canvas with the perfect dimensions. Most tools even have testimonial or quote templates you can start with.
2. Apply Your Brand Elements: Add your brand's personality.
   • Set the background to one of your brand colors or use a high-quality photo of your product or team.
   • Upload your logo and place it tastefully in a corner.
   • Use your brand fonts. Consistency helps build brand recognition.
3. Add the Review Text: Copy the best part of the Google review and paste it onto your graphic. Make the text large and easy to read. Quotation marks are a great way to visually signal that this is a quote.
4. Include the 5-Star Rating and Attribution: Let people know where this glowing review came from!
   • Add a 5-star graphic near the quote. You can either find these in your design tool's element library or search for a free-to-use PNG online.
   • Credit the reviewer and the source. Something simple like "- John S., Google Review" is perfect. It adds authenticity and shows you're transparent.
5. Export and Post: Download your finished graphic as a PNG or JPG file. Upload it to your Facebook business page using the same caption best practices we covered earlier: thank the customer, add context, and include a call-to-action to engage your audience.

Advanced Strategies: Go Beyond a Single Post

Once you've mastered sharing individual reviews, you can incorporate them into your broader social media strategy in more creative ways.

Create a "Review Roundup" Reel or Video

Collect several of your best review graphics or screenshots and stitch them together into a short video slideshow. Add some upbeat, trending audio and text overlays. Video content often gets higher engagement and reach on Facebook, especially Reels. This is a dynamic way to show off a large volume of positive feedback all at once.

Launch a "Review of the Week" Series

Consistency builds community. Dedicate one day a week (e.g., "Feedback Friday" or "Testimonial Tuesday") to sharing a customer review. This conditions your audience to expect and look forward to your posts, and it creates a reliable stream of content for your calendar.

Use Reviews in Your Facebook Ads

Social proof is incredibly persuasive in advertising. Use a well-designed review graphic as the creative for a Facebook ad campaign. An ad featuring a real customer's glowing feedback can be much more effective and trustworthy than a standard product promotion, especially for attracting new customers.

Pin Your Best Review to the Top of Your Page

Have one absolute slam-dunk of a review that perfectly captures your brand's mission? Post it on your Facebook page and then use the "Pin to Top of Page" feature. This ensures it's the very first thing new visitors see when they land on your profile, making an excellent first impression.

Share Reviews in Facebook Stories

Stories are a more casual, behind-the-scenes way to engage with your audience. A simple screenshot of a great review, with a colorful background and a sticker or GIF added, is a quick way to share praise without cluttering your main feed. You're reminding people how great it is that others appreciate your business.

Final Thoughts

Transforming your customer feedback from a static page on Google into dynamic, engaging content for your Facebook feed is a straightforward yet incredibly effective marketing tactic. Whether you're using quick screenshots or creating beautiful branded graphics, you're leveraging your most valuable asset - happy customers - to build trust and grow your business.
