# How to Add Reviews and Show Them in a Slider

Add reviews by hand, then choose which reviews show in a slider on your website.

Your website can show two kinds of reviews:

* **Reviews you add yourself**, for example a testimonial a client emailed you, or a review from Yelp or Redfin.
* **Reviews pulled in automatically** from Google, Facebook or Zillow. To connect those, see [How to Show Zillow, Google and Other Reviews on Your Website](/site-tools/reviews/articles-7197789-how-to-connect-your-reviews-feed-zillow-google-custom-feed-agen.md).

This article covers adding your own reviews and choosing what a slider shows.

## Add a review yourself

{% step %}

### Start a new review

In your dashboard, go to **Site Tools** > **Reviews** and click **New Review**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter the client's name

Type the client's name and click **Add Review**.

![Entering the client's name](https://2039430885-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fq65vhH2v4k5rpDOha9Vm%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1758221330e49356e34c0fd9356cc0232ab27388%2Frv-2-name.png?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill in the review

The review opens on the right. Add:

* **Star ratings** for local knowledge, process expertise, responsiveness and negotiation skills
* A **Subtitle**, such as "Bought in Doral, 2026"
* The **Review** text
* A photo of the client, if you have one
* A **Video URL** if it's a video testimonial

![The review form with the subtitle and review text filled in](https://2039430885-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fq65vhH2v4k5rpDOha9Vm%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1827c07acdd01c5ddf3aa77a8501f42d6bc4e2bf%2Frv-3-form.png?alt=media)

Make sure **Status** at the top says **Published**. Then scroll down and click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Optional extras:**

* **Categories:** click **Add New Category** in the review to group reviews, for example "Buyers" and "Sellers". You can then show one group in a slider.
* **Agents:** on a team site, click **Actions** > **Assign Agent** next to a review, so it can show on that agent's page.

## Choose which reviews a slider shows

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the slider

Open the page in the editor and click the reviews slider. (To add a new one, use a **Slider** widget inside a [Spark Creator](/spark-editor/spark-editor/articles-3827631-spark-editor-spark-creator.md) block.)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set the source

On the **Content** tab:

* **Slider Source:** **Reviews**
* **Reviews Type:** **Mixed Sources** for most sliders. Choose **Video Reviews** to show only reviews with a video, or **Zillow** for Zillow reviews.
* **Reviews Source:** pick **Custom** for the reviews you added yourself. Your connected Google or Facebook sources are listed here too, under the name they were given in **Reviews** > **Settings** > **Sources** (in the example below, "AgentFire" is a Google source). You can pick more than one.

![Slider settings with Slider Source, Reviews Type and Reviews Source](https://2039430885-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fq65vhH2v4k5rpDOha9Vm%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ee4d309ce399a3d22703731d69ee0b6c245f2174%2Frv-4-slider-source.png?alt=media)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Narrow it down (optional)

* Show only one **Category**, or only one **Agent's** reviews. On an agent's own page, choose that agent so visitors don't see the whole team's reviews.
* **Items Limit** sets how many reviews show.
* **Order By** can be newest first, random, or **Custom** (your own order).
* **Display Reviews With** lets you show only higher star ratings.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and check

Click **Save**, then open the page in a private (incognito) window to check it.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Zillow reviews need their own slider.** Zillow's rules don't allow mixing its reviews with other sources or hiding negative ones. To show Zillow and Google reviews on one page, add two sliders.
{% endhint %}

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>I added reviews, but the slider still shows the sample ones.</summary>

Open the slider and set **Reviews Source** to **Custom**, then save the page. Also check each review's **Status** is **Published**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Every agent's page shows the whole team's reviews.</summary>

Assigning reviews to an agent isn't enough on its own. Open the slider on that agent's page and filter it to that **Agent**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I show Yelp or Redfin reviews?</summary>

Yes, by adding them yourself with **New Review**. Copy the review text and the client's name from the original.

</details>

<details>

<summary>A review came in as "Pending". How do I show it?</summary>

Click **Edit** on the review, change **Status** to **Published**, and click **Save**.
