Step-by-Step Guide to Import Reviews

Follow these steps to import reviews from your desired platform:

1. Access the Import Feature

2. Choose Your Platform

  • Open the Reviews & Other tab and click the tile for the platform you want to import from. The available options include:
    • G2
    • Trustpilot
    • Capterra
    • Yelp

3. Provide the Required URL

  • Enter the URL of the review page you wish to scrape. Make sure the URL is correct and points directly to the reviews section of the platform.

4. Start the Import Process

  • Click Import testimonials. We scrape the reviews automatically — there's no "number of pages" setting, the scraper walks the listing on your behalf (up to 50 additional pages).
  • You don't need to be logged into G2, Trustpilot, Capterra, or Yelp yourself. Our scrapers use residential proxies and unblocker tech to fetch public review pages directly, so no account or cookie is required on your end.

5. Review the Imported Testimonials

  • A preview lists the reviews found. Tick the ones you want (or Select all) and click Import. You then see how many were imported and skipped; reviews already in the space are skipped as duplicates.

Plan limits

  • On the Free plan, web imports stop once your account holds 15 testimonials imported from external platforms. The counter next to the Import heading (for example 3/15) shows where you stand. Starter, Pro, and Business have no web-import cap.

If an import fails, wait a few minutes and try again. For persistent issues, see Import overview or contact support.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a G2 or Trustpilot account to import reviews?

No. You only paste the public review page URL. VideoTestimonials fetches the page server-side through its own scrapers and proxy services, so you don't sign in to G2, Trustpilot, Capterra or Yelp and don't need an API key.

How many reviews can I import at once?

There's no page-count setting. After the first page, the scraper follows the listing's pagination for up to 50 more pages, and Yelp imports page through all of the business's reviews. You then choose which reviews to keep in the preview, using Select all if you want everything.

What happens if an import fails or finds no reviews?

You'll see an error such as No reviews found at this URL, or a note that the site is temporarily blocking the scraper. Check that the URL points at the reviews page (the input shows an example for each platform), wait a few minutes and try again. Nothing is saved until you pick reviews and click Import.

Do imported reviews show on my Wall of Love right away?

Yes. Reviews you select and import are saved as approved testimonials, so they can appear on your Wall of Love immediately. Embedded widgets don't show reviews imported from other sites. Each keeps the reviewer's name, the review text (with the review title on top when the site has one), and the star rating, date and photo when the page provides them.

Want to try this yourself?

The free plan includes 10 video testimonials, 20 text, a Wall of Love embed and CSV import. No credit card, and nothing expires.
