<\/a><\/p>\nSmash Balloon<\/a> is actually a suite of 5 different WordPress plugins that help you display feeds from all of your social media accounts.<\/p>\n With over 1.75 million users and an average rating of 4.9\/5 on WordPress, Smash Balloon is one of the most popular social media feed plugins.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon lets you add custom feeds from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n You can even combine all your feeds into a single social media wall too!<\/p>\n Displaying your social media posts on your WordPress website is a great way to:<\/p>\n But adding those social media feeds on your own can be a pain. Every platform has its own code and it\u2019s hard to get them styled consistently with your website.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why you need a social media feed plugin.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to be a developer or WordPress wizard to use Smash Balloon. All of the plugins look and work great right after installation. You can have your social media feeds on your website in under 5 minutes.<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s look at what makes Smash Balloon really special.<\/p>\n When looking for a social media feed plugin, you want to consider:<\/p>\n Let\u2019s check out how well Smash Balloon meets these standards.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon just works. There\u2019s no coding or complicated settings to fuss with. Just point and click on the options you want to activate. Connecting your feeds is also done with a click of a button.<\/p>\n But just because it\u2019s beginner-friendly doesn\u2019t mean that Smash Balloon isn\u2019t powerful. There are plenty of features that can level up your social media marketing.<\/p>\n Because so many people browse social media from their mobile devices, it\u2019s critical that your social media feeds look good on any screen size.<\/p>\n The good news is that all the Smash Balloon plugins are completely responsive and mobile ready.<\/p>\n This feature not only creates a better user experience but also helps your website rank higher on search engines.<\/p>\n Embedding your social media feeds can cause your website to slow as it tries to load content from another website. Fortunately, Smash Balloon plugins are powerful but streamlined, so they won\u2019t slow down your website.<\/p>\n The Smash Balloon code is optimized with no bloat, so your feeds and website load super fast. Again, fast page speeds are an important factor in your search engine rankings, so it\u2019s important to keep your page speed up.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a smart caching feature to speed things up even more. This means your feeds won\u2019t need to ping the social media sites for data every time they load. Another benefit of smart caching is that your social media feed plugin will still work even if the social media platforms are temporarily down.<\/p>\n Even though Smash Balloon is designed to work immediately out of the box, you still get lots of customization options.<\/p>\n While you can set your plugins to automatically adapt to the design of your WordPress theme, you can also manually customize your feed height, width, layout, background color, font style, and more.<\/p>\n Every Smash Balloon plugin gets separate customization options. So you can style your text-heavy Twitter feed differently than your image-heavy Instagram feed, for example.<\/p>\n You also have full control over the content you want to display.<\/p>\n For example, you can pull different Twitter feeds, filter out hashtags on Instagram, and show or hide header details, follow buttons, and much more.<\/p>\n While Smash Balloon mobile optimization and high speed performance both contribute to boosting your website\u2019s SEO, there\u2019s another feature that has an even bigger impact.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon uses server-side code in the social media feed plugins. This means that the search engine bots can read the social media feeds on your website.<\/p>\n This adds dynamic, crawlable content directly to your website with no extra effort from you.<\/p>\n Social media feeds also reduce bounce rate, increases dwell time, and encourages visitors to check out other pages while visiting your website.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon can make your website more visible to search engines without you needing to do anything else.<\/p>\n Even with the easiest social media feed plugin, sometimes you need help getting set up or troubleshooting something.<\/p>\n The customer support team for Smash Balloon is world class. They won\u2019t just abandon you after you buy the plugin, but work with you to create, customize, and display your feeds exactly how you want them.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a comprehensive documentation library with tutorials, videos, and social media marketing guides for every plugin.<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s look briefly at each of the Smash Balloon plugins and check out the highlights.<\/p>\n There are 5 different plugins in the Smash Balloon suite. Here are the best features of each one.<\/p>\n Instagram Feed Pro is the easiest way to show off all your beautiful Instagram photos and videos on your website. If you spend all that time and energy creating Instagram content, make the most out of it!<\/p>\n With Instagram Feed Pro, you can show images of your products on Instagram and link each post to your product pages.<\/p>\n You can display these shoppable feeds on your website and on the Instagram app.<\/p>\n You used to be able to automatically embed Instagram posts by pasting the URL into WordPress.<\/p>\n WordPress has discontinued that feature, but Instagram Feed Pro brought it back!<\/p>\n Now you can easily embed an Instagram photo feed into your WordPress blog posts and pages.<\/p>\n Instagram Feed Pro has a wide variety of feed types and layout options. You can show:<\/p>\n You can also choose from 4 different feed layouts: grid, carousel, masonry, and highlight.<\/p>\n To see even more features, check out Instagram Feed Pro\u2019s full feature list<\/a>.<\/p>\n This long-running social network has many different content types, but Custom Facebook Feed Pro can handle them all.<\/p>\n Just like Instagram, Facebook oEmbeds was removed from WordPress, but you can use Custom Facebook Feed Pro to add it back. Simply copy and paste a Facebook URL into a WordPress post or page to embed it.<\/p>\n Custom Facebook Feed Pro can display all the Facebook content you could want, whether it\u2019s from a Facebook page or a Facebook group. You can display all kinds of feeds, such as:<\/p>\n You can also display likes, shares, and comments below each post to encourage user engagement.<\/p>\n Custom Facebook Feed Pro has several advanced Extensions that can add new functionality to your social media feed.<\/p>\n These include:<\/p>\n You can see all the features of Facebook Feed Pro<\/a> here.<\/p>\n Twitter is a great platform for engaging with customers in real-time. You can schedule posts ahead of time and Tweet more spontaneously. Bring your Twitter conversations to your website with Custom Twitter Feeds Pro. Here are just some of the things you can do with Custom Twitter Feeds Pro.<\/p>\n Twitter Cards are a way to attach photos, videos, and other media to your tweets. This drives traffic to your website and other social media accounts. Custom Twitter Feeds Pro can automatically create and show Twitter cards to really make your tweets pop.<\/p>\n As with the other Smash Balloon plugins, Custom Twitter Feeds Pro gives you lots of Twitter feeds to choose from, such as:<\/p>\n Custom Twitter Feeds Pro places a \u201cload more\u201d button on your feeds to encourage visitors to read more. Your visitors can click the button or scroll to load more tweets right from your website. This can result in longer session times and improve your SEO.<\/p>\n Take a look at the full feature list of Twitter Feed Pro<\/a>. Or check out other ways to boost your Twitter following<\/a>.<\/p>\n Video content can take more effort to produce but it can have a fantastic ROI when it comes to engagement. Show off your videos on your website with Feeds for YouTube Pro.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we love about this plugin:<\/p>\n Feeds for YouTube Pro only loads the video player when a visitor starts engaging with the feed, so it doesn\u2019t slow down your site load time. This improves your user experience and SEO.<\/p>\n One neat thing you can do with Feeds for YouTube Pro is customize what your viewers see when they pause or finish watching your video.<\/p>\n You\u2019re no longer limited to YouTube\u2019s related content recommendations. Instead, you can choose your own video thumbnails to show, display a link to your product or landing pages, or even add a contact form.<\/p>\n You guessed it, there are many different YouTube feed types to choose from:<\/p>\n YouTube Feed Pro is releasing new features all the time, so check out the full feature list<\/a> to see the most updated version.<\/p>\n Finally, there\u2019s Social Wall. Social Wall can display all of your social media feeds at once in a beautiful social wall. Please note that Social Wall is only available as part of the All-Access Bundle.<\/p>\n Social Wall lets you promote your social media content from all the biggest social media platforms. Website visitors can easily follow you on the social media platform of their choice, or all of them. This helps you grow your overall social media following faster.<\/p>\n You can create as many social walls as you want, either on the same page or throughout your site. You can easily mix and match feeds. If you want to put Instagram and Facebook videos on one feed, and hashtag feeds from Twitter and Facebook on another, you can do so without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n Every social media platform has its own image specifications, and it can get confusing to figure out what sizes to use for each one. Social Wall Pro can resize the images from each platform, save them locally on your website, and automatically select the optimal image size to display in the feed.<\/p>\n These are just our very favorite features of Social Wall Pro. Check out the full feature list<\/a> here to learn more.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon has a flexible pricing plan that can grow with your business.<\/p>\n You can buy each plugin individually, with 3 pricing tiers for each plugin:<\/p>\n Facebook Feed Pro Extensions are also available individually for 1, 5, or unlimited websites.<\/p>\n Buying individual plugins and extensions makes sense if you have just a single feed that you want to show on your website.<\/p>\n If you have more than one account, you can purchase the All Access Bundle<\/a>, which includes all the plugins and extensions, use on unlimited websites, and priority support.<\/p>\n There are also free versions available on WordPress.org. These won\u2019t have all the premium features, but it\u2019s a good way to try out the plugins.<\/p>\n To get the most out of your social media, though, we recommend getting the Pro versions to grow your followers, engagements, and sales.<\/p>\n Showing your social media content on your website is a great way to get more use out of that social content, grow your social media audience, and improve your website engagement.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon is the best social media feed plugin we\u2019ve found.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to use, packed with powerful features, super fast, and supported by a dedicated team of developers and support staff.<\/p>\n We enthusiastically recommend Smash Balloon to anyone looking to grow their social media marketing.<\/p>\n Smash Balloon also has a risk-free 30-day money back guarantee. So if you try it out and find that it\u2019s not for you, you can request a refund.<\/p>\n Still on the fence?
