Establishing trust with potential students on your Teachable site can be challenging if you’re not showcasing real-time social proof. Without visible engagement, visitors may doubt your course quality, hesitate to enroll, and ultimately move on to competitors.
Adding a Facebook Feed is a strategic way to solve this problem. Displaying customer reviews, student achievements, and community interactions builds credibility and keeps your content fresh. Wisernotify makes embedding Facebook Feeds into Teachable easy, even if you’re not a tech expert.
This guide will show you why Facebook Feeds matter, how to embed them step-by-step, best practices for Teachable users, and common mistakes to avoid.

Highlight Key Testimonials
- Carefully curate your Facebook Feed to feature success stories, glowing course feedback, and milestone celebrations. Prioritizing these highlights makes a strong emotional impact on prospective students.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding Facebook Feeds to Teachable
Pasting Code in the Wrong Block
Adding your embed code to a basic text field instead of a “Custom HTML” block can cause display errors. Always use the correct block type to ensure seamless functionality and appearance.
Overloading with Widgets
While enhancing your Teachable page with dynamic elements is good, too many widgets can slow down site performance. Wisernotify is lightweight, but maintaining a clean layout preserves fast load times and better UX.
Not Moderating Content
Displaying unfiltered Facebook posts could unintentionally showcase negative or off-brand comments. Wisernotify’s moderation features allow you to selectively display positive, high-impact posts.
Ignoring Mobile Optimization
Skipping mobile previews can lead to a Facebook Feed that looks awkward on smartphones. Always test your page’s mobile responsiveness and tweak settings to maintain a polished, mobile-friendly experience.
Visual Disconnection
A Facebook Feed that clashes with your Teachable site’s color scheme or style disrupts the user journey. Customize the feed’s fonts, colors, and margins to ensure a cohesive, brand-aligned presentation.
