Step-by-Step Tutorial: Testimonial Import for Zillow
Testimonial Import can streamline your client testimonials by automatically importing new reviews from platforms like Zillow. This powerful feature helps showcase your success stories and build trust with potential customers by displaying authentic testimonials on your website.
Overview
The Testimonial Import, using Zillow in this example, will import your 10 most recent Zillow testimonials as a starting point and then continue to update automatically with any new Zillow reviews going forward automatically.
Prerequisites
Before starting you’ll need to know:
How to access to your iHouse Elite Website Admin Menu

You can then press ‘Save Configuration’. A confirmation will appear on screen notifying you the 10 most recent reviews will be imported now.
Note: Platform specific rules for Zillow will limit some display options such as display order needing to be in most recent order and limiting the ability to hide individual reviews when automation is active.

This will take you to your testimonials.
Here you can set favorites to appear first when viewing your testimonials
