How to Add Social Media Feed on Wix in 5 Minutes

Struggling to build trust and keep visitors engaged on your Wix site? You’re not alone. Many Wix users face the challenge of proving their credibility and social influence without cluttering their design.

That’s where a live social media feed comes in—it shows real-time activity from platforms like Instagram, instantly making your site feel active, trustworthy, and connected.

Social media feeds can highlight customer love, display new content, and prove that your brand is alive and buzzing. And with Wisernotify, adding a social media feed to Wix is incredibly simple and effective.

Why Add Social Media Feed on Wix?

Adding a social media feed to your Wix site can transform how visitors perceive your brand. Here’s why it matters specifically for Wix users:

Prove Your Credibility Instantly: Wix is a go-to platform for entrepreneurs, artists, and small businesses. But since it’s so easy to launch a Wix site, visitors often question if a brand is legit. Featuring your live Instagram or Facebook posts helps visitors see that you’re real, active, and trustworthy.

Boost Time on Site and Engagement: According to a study by MDG Advertising, content with visuals gets 94% more views. Social feeds naturally include visual content, encouraging users to stay longer and explore more.

Drive Conversions with Real Content: Visitors trust social proof more than brand claims. Showcasing customer testimonials, product tags, and influencer mentions from your feed can drive actions like purchases, sign-ups, or inquiries.

Keep Content Fresh Without Manual Updates: Updating content manually on Wix can be time-consuming. A live feed updates automatically whenever you post on social, so your site always feels current.

Create a Consistent Brand Experience: Wix offers customization, but it’s easy to make the site feel disconnected from your brand. Embedding your social feed brings your social identity directly into your web presence.

Use Case Example: A fitness trainer with a Wix website showcases her Instagram feed of workout videos and client transformations. This not only adds credibility but also increases consultation bookings.

Best Practices for Showcasing Instagram Feed on Wix

Place It Where Visitors Look First

• Add your social feed to high-impact areas like the homepage, above the fold, or on your testimonials page.

Keep It Mobile-Friendly

• Wix sites are often viewed on mobile. Make sure your social feed is responsive and doesn’t break the layout on smaller screens.

Match Your Brand’s Aesthetic

• Customize the Wisernotify widget’s colors, fonts, and layout so it blends seamlessly with your Wix site’s design.

Highlight UGC (User-Generated Content)

• Display posts from real customers using your product to build social proof and drive conversions.

Monitor Feed Content Regularly

• Ensure only high-quality, brand-appropriate content is shown in the feed by moderating it within Wisernotify.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding Social Media Feed to Wix

Using the Wrong Embed Tool

• Wix offers multiple embed options—using the wrong one (like iFrame instead of HTML Embed) may result in formatting issues. Always select “HTML Embed.”

Ignoring Mobile Optimization

• Some Wix users forget to check how the feed looks on mobile, leading to misaligned widgets. Always preview and adjust for mobile.

Placing the Feed Too Low

• Hiding the feed in the footer or on a hidden page limits its visibility and impact. Make sure it’s placed where users can see it easily.

Overloading the Page

• Adding too many widgets or a long social feed can slow down your site’s performance. Stick to showcasing the most relevant posts.

Not Updating Wisernotify Permissions

• If your social account permissions expire and you don’t reconnect them, your feed might stop updating. Check this regularly in your Wisernotify dashboard.
