How to Add Reviews to Leadpages: Put It in the Template

How to Add Reviews to Leadpages (2026 Guide)

Complete guide to adding reviews to a Leadpages page in 2026. The mechanics take a minute: drag the HTML widget from the widgets sidebar into the section where the reviews belong, paste the widget embed into its code field, and click Update to publish. Leadpages renders custom HTML on the published page rather than always inside the builder preview, so judge the result on the live URL. The thing worth planning is not the paste but the reuse. Leadpages is used for campaigns, and campaigns are short-lived by design: a page for a webinar, a page for a seasonal offer, a page for a partnership that runs for six weeks. People build these from templates and from copies of previous pages, which means anything added by hand to one page either propagates to its descendants or has to be added again every time. Deciding once that the review section belongs in the base template you copy from turns a recurring chore into a property of every future campaign page. Covers BlooTrue Leadpages review widgets, the free plan, unlimited widget views and a one-line embed.

A pitch in progress, the moment a Leadpages campaign page is built for

The Leadpages workflow is copy, adjust, publish, repeat. A campaign page exists for a webinar or a seasonal offer, runs for a few weeks and gets replaced, and the next one starts as a duplicate of the last. That pattern makes hand-added elements expensive, because anything you paste into a finished page is a thing you will paste again next month. The fix is to decide once, at the template level, and let every future page inherit it.

The HTML Widget

Open the page in the drag-and-drop builder and find HTML in the widgets sidebar. Drag it into the section where the reviews should appear, paste the embed into its code field, and click Update to publish.

Leadpages renders custom HTML on the published page and not always inside the builder preview, so the live URL is the reliable check on both whether it works and how tall it is.

Give the widget its own row rather than nesting it beside other content. It is easier to move later and behaves more predictably on a narrow screen.

Add It Where the Copies Come From

Most Leadpages users have a small set of layouts they reuse: an opt-in page, a webinar registration page, a sales page. New campaigns start as copies of those.

Put the review section into those base layouts once. Every page built from them afterwards has it already, with no per-campaign paste and no chance of forgetting on the one page that mattered.

If the base layouts already exist without it, updating them takes a few minutes and pays back on the next campaign rather than this one.

Short-Lived Pages Change the Maths

A page that runs for six weeks does not justify much bespoke work, which is why the copy-and-adjust habit exists. It also means anything requiring per-page attention tends to get skipped when a launch is rushed.

The review section is exactly the kind of thing that gets skipped, because it is not what the page is about and it is not what anybody is checking before publishing.

Building it into the template removes the decision from the rushed moment, which is the only reliable way to make it survive one.

Which Campaign Pages Want It

Opt-in and registration pages, yes, especially for cold traffic. Somebody being asked for an email address by a business they have never heard of is asking whether you are real.

Sales pages, yes, below the offer. That is the standard placement and the standard reason: proof arrives after the claim it supports.

Confirmation and thank-you pages, no. The transaction is done and the space is better used for the next step you want them to take.

How Do You Build the Widget?

Paste your Google, Trustpilot or Facebook profile URL, preview your real reviews and rating, then choose from over 100 layout styles across the slider, marquee, grid, list, masonry and badge families, and match the colours to the template.

Choose a layout that works across campaigns rather than for one. Because it is going into a base template, it will appear on pages selling different things, so a neutral compact layout ages better than something tuned to one offer.

The header rating comes from the platform aggregate rather than from the cards on screen. Free plan, unlimited widget views, which matters when a launch drives a spike.

Where Should the Reviews Go?

Under the headline on lead-generation pages and next to the form on opt-in pages, which is where review proof does the most for opt-in rates.

On a longer sales page, below the offer section and above the button. One placement, at the decision point.

Keep it consistent across the template set. Part of the value of doing this at template level is that every campaign page then behaves the same way, which makes results comparable between campaigns.

One line, in every future campaign

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this topic

Where is the HTML widget in Leadpages?

In the widgets sidebar of the drag-and-drop builder. Drag it into the section where the reviews should appear and paste the embed into its code field, then click Update to publish.

Why does the builder not show my reviews?

Leadpages renders custom HTML on the published page rather than always inside the builder preview. Judge the result on the live URL, which is also where you can see the real height before arranging the section around it.

Should I add the widget to each campaign page?

No. Add it to the base template or layout you copy new campaigns from. Leadpages pages are built from copies constantly, so a template-level addition becomes a property of every future page instead of a chore repeated each month.

Which campaign pages should show reviews?

Opt-in and registration pages, especially for cold traffic where a visitor is being asked for an email by a business they have not heard of. Sales pages below the offer. Not confirmation or thank-you pages, where the transaction is already done.

Which layout works best across campaigns?

A neutral compact one. Because the section lives in a base template it will appear on pages selling different things, so a layout tuned to one specific offer ages badly while a plain rating block keeps working.

Where exactly on the page?

Under the headline on lead-generation pages and next to the form on opt-in pages, which is where review proof does the most for opt-in rates. On a longer sales page, below the offer and above the button.
