What Is Elfsight?

Elfsight is a third-party widget platform that lets you embed interactive, visually rich elements into your website without writing any code. Sierra's Elfsight integration makes it possible to add Elfsight widgets directly to your Content Pages and Blog Posts as a Page Component, unlocking a wide range of lead capture, social proof, and engagement tools.

Additional limitations to keep in mind:

  • The Elfsight Page Component is available on Content Pages and Blog Posts only. It is not available on other page types.

      Best Practices

      • Plan your widget layout before you start. With a 5-widget limit per page, decide which widgets add the most value to that specific page before adding them.
      • Match widgets to the page's purpose. Google Reviews belong on a homepage or about page; a Form Builder or AI Chatbot may perform better on a listings or neighborhood page.
      • Use Elfsight's preview tools before saving. Customize and review each widget in your Elfsight account before copying the embed code to avoid publishing an unfinished widget.
      • Check display on mobile. Some widget types may render differently on smaller screens. Review each page on a mobile device after adding widgets.
      • Free plan users: choose your one widget strategically. Google Reviews or a Testimonials Slider typically deliver the highest trust signal for real estate professionals on a free account.
