Want to embed Instagram content + customer reviews on your website in one widget? Rated Stores' Social Combined widget pulls Instagram posts alongside your reviews from Google, Trustpilot, Etsy and 16+ other sources — a unified social-proof display that's stronger than either alone.
Why Combine Instagram + Reviews?
Most "Instagram widgets" (Elfsight, Walls.io, Taggbox) show only Instagram — pretty pictures with no verification, no purchase context, no star ratings.
Most "review widgets" show only reviews — text-heavy, no visual UGC, no Instagram-style social media presence.
The combination wins:
- Instagram for visual proof — customers using your product in real life
- Reviews for verified social proof — checked against orders, with star ratings
- One widget — visitors see both without scrolling
Features
- Instagram feed integration — public posts from your business account
- Reviews from 19+ sources — Google, Trustpilot, Etsy, Yotpo, Judge.me etc.
- Layout options — grid, masonry, carousel mixing photos and reviews
- Verified-reviewer badges on customer reviews
- JSON-LD rich snippets — Google indexes the reviews on your page
- Live editor — colors, fonts, layout, source filters
- Free tier available (List widget); combined widget on Premium plans

How It Differs From Pure Instagram Widgets
Elfsight, Walls.io, Taggbox all do Instagram-only widgets — they aggregate social posts. None of them have the underlying review platform to mix in verified customer reviews.
Rated Stores does. The combined widget shows Instagram + reviews with star ratings, verification badges, and SEO-indexed schema — capabilities pure-Instagram widgets can't match because they lack the review platform underneath.

FAQ
Do I need an Instagram Business account? Yes — Instagram's API only exposes content from Business or Creator accounts. Personal accounts cannot integrate.
Will the Instagram feed slow my site? No — sub-30KB total bundle, Instagram images lazy-loaded.
Can I show reviews from multiple platforms in the same widget? Yes — Google + Trustpilot + Etsy etc. all in one feed alongside Instagram posts.
Is this available on the free plan? The List widget is free; the combined Instagram + reviews widget is on Premium plans.
