How it works

Show your best reviews on your website with a widget you can style to match your brand.

Review widgets display your customer reviews on your website or landing pages, styled to match your brand. Showing real feedback from Google and Facebook helps visitors trust your business before they call or book.

To create one, go to Reputation, open the Widgets tab, and click Create New Widget, or start from a template. The editor has four tabs:

  • Layout: choose a list, masonry, grid or legacy style, select review sources such as Google and Facebook, set the maximum number of reviews, and show or hide the powered-by section.
  • Content: edit the widget title and description, and choose whether the header shows the rating, the total review count and a write-a-review button.
  • Appearance: pick a light, dark or custom theme. A custom theme lets you set colors for the heading, reviews, star ratings, background, border and more.
  • Settings: show or hide review dates and reviewer icons, hide reviews that have no text, and generate the embed code.

Give the widget a clear name, then save it or make it live. Copy the embed code into your website's HTML where you want the widget to appear. Saved widgets are listed in their own tab, where you can also delete ones you no longer need.

Connect your review sources before you build the widget. If a widget doesn't show or update, check four things. Confirm the widget is saved and published, the full embed code is on the right page, and you're using the latest code after any changes. Also make sure your site isn't blocking the widget script.
