Social media moves fast, but your website doesn’t have to lag behind.

You only have to embed social media feed directly on your website to turn your static pages into living, breathing storefronts powered by content your audience loves!

I’ve seen brands waste hours updating galleries by hand, adding screenshots, or pasting embed codes one by one. It’s slow, messy, and outdated. You can do better.

All you need is a [social media feed](/blog/social-media-feed/) that updates automatically whenever you post or find new content on social media. With it, your website will always show fresh posts, real customer stories, and [authentic UGC](/blog/what-is-user-generated-content/), which builds trust and keeps your website visitors engaged.

Below, I tell you how to do just that across all popular social media!

## What does it mean to embed social media on your website?

> Embedding social media feeds on your website means **taking posts, videos, or full feeds** from platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube and **displaying them directly on your site.** However, instead of adding individual screenshots one at a time, you add an interactive, live, and automatically refreshed feed from any social media platform.
> 
> *'Embed social media feed' definition*

Third-party [social media aggregators](/blog/social-media-aggregator/) with direct API access to all popular social platforms do this the best. You neither want to manually add your content nor to rely on an unreliable service that scrapes social media content, which does not work all the time!

The right UGC platform will provide your website with **fresh content straight from the source.** New posts and other user-generated content (mentions, hashtags, etc.) will show up in real time, so visitors will be welcomed by something new whenever they come.

## Top 7 benefits of displaying the latest social media posts on your website

You should add a social media wall to website pages to give them freshness, credibility, and movement, all without adding more work to your day.

![mind map showcasing the benefits of embedding social media posts](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/embed-social-media-benefits.webp)

-   **Keep your site automatically updated, **new posts flow in on their own, constantly giving your pages a steady pulse of fresh content;
-   **Boost engagement instantly, **visitors interact with likes, comments, and shares from all your social media platforms without leaving your website;
-   **Showcase real UGC, **display customer posts, [embed social media mentions](/blog/embed-instagram-facebook-mentions/), hashtags, and more to build trust and [social proof](/blog/social-proof-examples/) with potential customers;
-   **Drive more traffic, **an embedded feed creates a natural bridge between your website and your social profiles, thus boosting the traffic for both;
-   **Improve your SEO signals, **fresh, structured content helps search engines understand that your site stays active, especially in the age of AEO;
-   **Strengthen brand credibility, **a live feed shows that your business is active, responsive, and part of real conversations between real customers;
-   **Automate large feeds, **use a tool like [EmbedSocial](/) when you need to embed a full social media feed with hundreds of posts that sync automatically.

Evidently, **embedding a social media feed adds life, authenticity, and ongoing momentum** to every page your audience visits. And you want that nowadays! It's the best and cheapest social media marketing strategy you can think of!

Because of that, below, I show you how to add social media feed to website from multiple social media platforms using the limited, native tools.

However, I'll also give you a much better, streamlined, and automatic solution to get fresh feeds without any user input via [EmbedSocial's website widgets](/blog/widgets-for-websites/).

## Native method: Embedding a social media post or feed on 9 popular platforms

For instance, you **can only embed one post at a time** instead of a full feed. Plus, **these widgets do not update automatically**, and you **cannot customize them** as you'd like.

That said, here's how to do it via the native methods on various platforms:

## Best method: Embed your social media feed via a third-party UGC platform

Instead of embedding a single post that you cannot customize in most cases, you should look into signing up for a complete [UGC platform](/blog/ugc-platforms/) like EmbedSocial that will connect to all your social media profiles and start automatically pulling fresh content as it comes out.

It only includes a few straightforward steps:

### Step 1: Log in to your EmbedSocial account

Before doing anything else, you must create your EmbedSocial account or [start the 7-day free trial](/admin/continue_plugin_purchase/socialfeed29/trial?continue_onboarding=ai_widget), which gives you full access, and you can cancel at any time.

### Step 2: Connect your social media sources

Next up, connect your social media accounts and choose your sources. Thankfully, this step is the same regardless of the social platform in question.

First, go to **'Sources'** (left ribbon menu) → **'Manage accounts'** (top-right corner) → **'Add new account'**. Once there, you can connect any of these social media accounts:

![connecting social media accounts in embedsocial](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/connect-social-media-accounts-embedsocial-1024x560.webp)

**Note:** You may be prompted to log in to your account to connect it to EmbedSocial.

Then, pick specific social media sources from the **'Sources'** → '**Add new source'** page:

![picking social media source in embedsocial](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/pick-social-media-source-embedsocial-1024x725.webp)

**Note:** Each account may offer different types of sources depending on what the API connection allows for said social media platform. For instance, when it comes to Instagram, you can choose **@business handles**, **#hashtag posts**, **mentions**, **stories**, and **individual URLs:**

![choose source type in embedsocial](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/choose-specific-source-type-embedsocial-1024x691.webp)

**Note:** You can mix and match different source types from different social platforms. For example, you can combine Facebook page posts and Instagram hashtags in a single widget.

### Step 3: Moderate your social media feed

After pulling your social media posts inside your EmbedSocial widget, you can moderate them as you see fit. First, head over to the **'Moderation'** tab to toggle on/off which posts you want to see. You can see their tags, AI score, and when they were published:

![moderating social media posts in embedsocial](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/moderate-social-media-posts-embedsocial-1024x743.webp)

Under the **'Order' and 'Sources' tabs**, you can organize your posts (pin some to the top) and check on and off the different social media sources you've added to the widget.

### Step 4: Design your social media widget

This is the fun part: you get to design your embedded social media feed widgets, and EmbedSocial gives you all the options you need to make it look perfect:

![design social media widget in embedsocial](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/design-embedsocial-social-media-widget-1024x675.webp)

You can **start with a pre-set template and/or a layout**, and then change anything you don't like on it. For example, you can select which sections to include in your widget, how the card for each post will look, which fonts it will use, which filters, and which colors.

> **You can use our** [**AI UGC widgets**](/blog/ai-ugc-widget/) **to create the perfect feed via text prompts!**

### Step 5: Copy and paste the widget code on your website

Last but not least, it's time to copy the code of the EmbedSocial user-generated content widget, which you can find under the **'Embed' tab** in the top-left corner. Just tap **'Copy code':**

![copying the embedsocial widget](https://embedsocial.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/copy-widget-code-embedsocial.webp)

### FAQs about embedding social media feeds on websites

Which tools allow embedding social feeds on my website?

You can embed social media feed on website using tools like [EmbedSocial](/) and Smash Balloon or native platform plugins. However, you should go for an advanced UGC platform that offers automatic syncing and API-powered reliability. EmbedSocial does all that and more!

Is EmbedSocial legit?

Yes. EmbedSocial is an official API partner for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, Google, LinkedIn, X, and more. It's trusted by brands worldwide for [social media feed widgets](/widgets/) and [UGC management](/blog/ugc-management/).

How does EmbedSocial work?

EmbedSocial connects to your social media accounts through official APIs, pulls your posts, mentions, or hashtags, and generates a customizable widget so you can embed social media feed on websites automatically.

Will integrating social media on my website slow it down?

Not if you keep it balanced. A few embeds won’t impact performance, but loading dozens of posts can slow down your site. That said, UGC platforms like [EmbedSocial](/) come with a lazy-loading script that greatly minimizes the impact of widgets on your site's performance.

Do I need any special tools or plugins to embed posts?

For single posts, you do not, as most platforms provide embed codes. However, if you are looking to embed [social media feeds](/blog/social-media-feed/) that update automatically and can be customized, you’ll need a [social media aggregator](/blog/social-media-aggregator/) like EmbedSocial.

What if the original posts from the social media accounts get deleted?

If a post is removed or made private, the embedded version disappears from your website, too, if you are using the native methods. However, if you are using a third-party platform like EmbedSocial, the widget will retain the original content.

Can I customize the look of the embedded posts?

If you use tools like [EmbedSocial](/), you can customize the look of your embedded posts as much as you want. Plus, we offer [AI UGC widgets](/blog/ai-ugc-widget/) that you generate with the use of text prompts. Plus, the native option does not offer custom branding or fully responsive social media feed widgets.

Can visitors interact with the embedded posts?

Yes, they can if the platform and the widgets allow it. For instance, when clicking any of the posts in [EmbedSocial's widgets](/widgets/), you'll see the full post in a lightbox, which leads to the original post on the social platform in question. There, visitors can usually like, comment, share, or follow.
