The Review Widget Report

From 1 July to 30 September 2026, 386 BlooTrue review widgets on real customer websites recorded 947,206 impressions. Visitors clicked the widget’s “Review us” button on 0.12% of Google widget impressions and 0.17% of Trustpilot widget impressions.

How this was measured

Every BlooTrue widget records a load server-side when it appears on a customer’s website, and a separate event when a visitor clicks the widget’s “Review us” button. Those events are counted per widget per day, then rolled up by review platform and by layout. Window: 1 July to 30 September 2026 (UTC).

  • No customer is identifiable. Every figure is an aggregate over at least 25 widgets. Any breakdown thinner than that is reported as unavailable rather than published.
  • Only widgets on real customer websites. A widget is in the sample when it loaded on a customer’s own site in the window. Loads on blootrue.com, in the BlooTrue app, in site-builder editors and previews, on staging or on localhost do not make a widget count, and BlooTrue’s own and test accounts are left out. Once a widget is in, all its daily loads count, including the owner’s own previews, because the counter is not split by site.
  • Impressions are renders, not pageviews. A widget that loads twice on one page counts twice; a page that loads without the widget entering the viewport still counts.
  • Free and paid widgets are both included. Free-plan widgets carry a BlooTrue attribution line, which plausibly affects CTA rate, so the two are not separated here and the blended figure is what is reported.
  • Thin samples stay visible. Platforms and layouts with fewer than 25 widgets each are grouped into one row with their widget count, and no click rate is reported for them.
