Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about embedding Google reviews with Reviews Widget.
How do I embed Google reviews on my website?+
Create a free Reviews Widget account, paste your Google Business Profile URL, style the widget, then copy the one-line <script> snippet into any page. It works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer and plain HTML.
Is Reviews Widget free?+
Yes. The free plan lets you create a reviews widget, embed it on unlimited websites, and receive automatic updates every 3 days. Paid plans refresh every 24 hours and add extra sources, moderation and higher review limits.
Which review platforms are supported?+
Google (Google Business Profile), Trustpilot, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Facebook, Booking.com, Airbnb, Amazon, ProductReview.com.au, G2, Etsy, Capterra, App Store, Google Play, Expedia, OpenTable and eBay — all inside one multi-source widget with built-in source tabs. You can also collect manual reviews directly through the widget.
Do I need a separate widget for each review platform?+
No. One widget imports and merges every connected source — Google, Trustpilot, Yelp and the rest — into a single display. You only need additional widgets when you want a different layout on another page or website, or when you're an agency managing client sites.
Can the widget be shown in another language?+
Yes. A single widget language setting translates every label the widget renders — source tabs, buttons, review dates, the owner-response label and the whole review form — into any of 80+ languages, including right-to-left layouts for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu. Customer review text is always left exactly as written.
What layouts can I choose from?+
Seventeen: grid, photo review hero, masonry, list, carousel, a two-row scrolling marquee, a floating star badge, social-proof review popups, a Review showcase, a floating reviews popover, a Ratings section, a Reviews ticker, a Modern testimonials slider, Recent review corner toasts, Bento review grid, Wall of Love and Floating Sticky Trust Ribbon. Grid and list are on the free plan; the rest come with any paid plan.
Do the widgets help with SEO?+
They can help search engines understand your business. Every Reviews Widget embed injects Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD schema describing your rating and review count. Google decides whether stars appear, and reviews of your own business on your own site are generally not eligible for review stars. Each review card also deep-links to the original review for extra trust.
How often do reviews update?+
Widgets on paid plans auto-refresh every 24 hours; free widgets refresh every 3 days. New reviews appear on your website automatically — you never need to re-embed the snippet or edit your site.
Do I need a Google API key or plugin?+
No. Reviews Widget handles review fetching, caching and platform compliance for you. There are no API keys, no WordPress plugins to install, and no server setup.
Can visitors leave a review directly in the widget?+
Yes. Enable in-widget review collection to let visitors submit reviews from a form built into your grid. All submissions are held for moderation in your dashboard before going live.
Is Reviews Widget compliant with Google and Trustpilot policies?+
Yes. Reviews Widget ships 2026-compliant attribution, correct source branding, and non-cherry-picked display for Trustpilot — so your widget stays within every major platform's terms of service.
