Widgetbox

If you’re using Google Sites for your website, portfolio, school project, or business page, you already know one thing: it’s simple, clean, and fast. But when it comes to social proof and real-time engagement, Google Sites feels a bit… limited.

That’s where embedding a Facebook feed comes in.

Adding a live Facebook feed to your Google Site helps visitors see real activity — posts, updates, announcements, photos, and community interaction — without leaving your website. It builds trust, keeps content fresh, and makes your site feel alive.

The good news? You don’t need to be a developer. You don’t need to touch code. And you definitely don’t need hours of setup.

Let’s walk through how to embed a Facebook feed on Google Sites in just a few minutes.

Why Embed a Facebook Feed on Google Sites?

Before jumping into the “how,” let’s talk about the “why.”

Google Sites is great for:

• Internal company pages
• Small business websites
• Event pages
• School or nonprofit sites
• Quick landing pages

But it doesn’t update itself automatically. A Facebook feed solves that.

Here’s what it adds instantly:

• Live content without manual updates
• Social proof through real posts and interactions
• Higher engagement (users stay longer on the site)
• Consistency between your website and Facebook presence

Instead of copying posts manually, your website updates itself every time you post on Facebook.

What You Need Before You Start

To embed a Facebook feed smoothly, make sure you have:

1. Access to your Google Sites editor
2. The Facebook Page URL you want to display
3. A basic understanding of how to insert content in Google Sites (don’t worry — it’s very simple)

That’s it.

Method 1: Using Facebook’s Native Embed (Limited but Free)

Facebook offers a basic Page Plugin that allows you to embed a feed.

Step-by-Step

1. Go to Facebook’s Page Plugin page
2. Paste your Facebook Page URL
3. Adjust settings like width, height, and tabs
4. Generate the embed code
5. Copy the iframe code

Now open Google Sites:

1. Click Insert
2. Choose Embed
3. Switch to Embed Code
4. Paste the iframe code
5. Click Insert

Your Facebook feed will appear on the page.

The Problem With This Method

While this works, it comes with limitations:

• Styling is fixed
• Limited customization
• Sometimes slow loading
• Breaks on mobile layouts
• Requires re-adjusting width manually

For simple use cases, it’s okay. For professional websites, it often feels restrictive.

Method 2: Embed a Facebook Feed Using a Widget Tool like Taggbox

If you want more control, better design, and smoother performance, using Taggbox tool is the better option.

This is where a Facebook widget becomes useful — it acts as a bridge between Facebook and Google Sites, without technical complexity.

Why This Method Works Better

• No coding required
• Mobile-responsive by default
• Custom layouts (grid, slider, list)
• Auto-refreshes content
• Works smoothly inside Google Sites

Step-by-Step: Embedding a Facebook Feed

Step 1: Create Your Facebook Feed

• Choose your Facebook Page as the source
• Select what you want to display:
  • Posts
  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Reviews (if applicable)
• Preview the feed before publishing

Step 2: Customize the Look

This is where most people see the difference.

You can:

• Match colors with your website
• Adjust spacing and font size
• Hide unwanted elements (timestamps, captions, etc.)
• Choose how many posts to show

This ensures the feed blends naturally into your Google Site instead of looking pasted.

Step 3: Generate the Embed Code

Once your feed is ready:

• Copy the embed code (usually iframe-based)
• No scripts or complicated setup required

Step 4: Add the Feed to Google Sites

1. Open your Google Site editor
2. Go to the page where you want the feed
3. Click Insert → Embed
4. Paste the embed code
5. Resize and position the feed
6. Publish the site

That’s it. Your Facebook feed is now live.

Best Placement Ideas for Facebook Feeds on Google Sites

Where you place the feed matters.

Here are high-performing placements:

• Homepage (below hero section)
• About Us page (shows real brand activity)
• Events page (updates and announcements)
• Contact page (adds trust before conversion)
• Sidebar or footer (light social presence)

Avoid placing it too high if your page has a strong primary CTA.

Mobile Responsiveness: Don’t Skip This Check

After embedding:

• Preview your site on mobile
• Check scroll behavior
• Ensure posts resize correctly

Most widget-based embeds handle this automatically, but it’s always worth verifying.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Embedding too many posts (slows page load)
• Using fixed-width embeds
• Ignoring mobile preview
• Placing the feed above key content
• Using outdated Facebook plugins

A clean, focused feed performs better than an overloaded one.

Does Embedding a Facebook Feed Help SEO?

Indirectly, yes.

While the feed itself isn’t indexed like text content, it:

• Improves time-on-page
• Reduces bounce rate
• Adds freshness to static pages
• Strengthens brand trust signals

All of these contribute to better overall site performance.

Final Thoughts

Embedding a Facebook feed on Google Sites doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, once you do it once, it feels almost too easy.

Whether you’re running a business website, a community page, or a simple project site, a live Facebook feed adds credibility, activity, and personality — something static pages often lack.

If you want something quick, Facebook’s native embed works.
If you want flexibility, better design, and long-term reliability, a widget-based approach is the smarter choice.

Either way, your Google Site instantly feels more alive — and that’s always a win.
