Why Use BlooTrue for BBB on Canva Sites?

The only free way to put BBB reviews on a Canva-published site — BBB itself doesn't offer an embed.

Fills BBB’s Missing Embed

BBB doesn’t publish an official embed widget for merchants — anywhere. The Canva Embed app + BlooTrue is the only path to live BBB reviews on a Canva-published site.

Works on the Free Canva Tier

Both the Embed app and Canva Sites publishing are included on the free Canva plan. Publish a Canva site with BBB reviews at *.my.canva.site for $0/month — Canva Pro is only required for custom domains.

No Marketplace Install

The Embed app ships built into every Canva account. No third-party marketplace install, no permission scopes, no recurring fee. Just paste the BlooTrue embed code and click Add to design.

No BBB API Key Required

Works with any public BBB business profile. No BBB Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a BBB widget different from a Google review widget?

BBB customer reviews are a native 1–5 star system. Knowing how they differ from BBB's A+-to-F letter rating, how profile setup works, and how reviews are moderated avoids surprises after you embed.

BBB customer reviews vs the A+-to-F “BBB rating”

BBB has two separate signals, and this widget shows only one of them. The first is the 1–5 star customer reviews — written by your customers about their experience — with an overall customer-review average; that's what BlooTrue displays. The second is the A+-to-F letter “BBB rating”, which is BBB's own grade for how a business interacts with BBB (complaint history, transparency, time in business, accreditation status) — the widget does not show this letter rating or the accreditation seal. BlooTrue renders each customer review exactly as stars: a 5-star review shows 5 stars, a 3-star review shows 3, and the header shows your real BBB customer-review average and count. The header rating always comes from BBB's own published customer-review aggregate, never from averaging the individual cards on screen.

Where the reviews come from and how often they refresh

BlooTrue fetches the publicly-visible customer reviews from your BBB business profile on a server-side schedule — roughly once every 24 hours on paid plans — and caches the result. Your site never calls BBB directly, so visitor traffic to your page doesn't depend on BBB being reachable, and the widget loads instantly from cache. Only reviews that are public on your profile are included. Each review keeps its reviewer name, star rating, and text, and links back to your BBB business profile.

Accreditation, profile setup, and what shows up in the widget

You do not need to be a BBB Accredited Business to use this widget — it works with any public BBB business profile, accredited or not. Reviews only appear if your profile is public and has customer reviews. If your profile is brand new or has zero reviews, there's nothing for the widget to import yet — it will populate as soon as your first public customer review lands. Once your profile has reviews, the widget shows whatever is public: no more, no less. If a review disappears from your widget after a sync, it almost always means the customer deleted it or BBB removed it — the widget simply follows your profile's public state.

Moderation, review guidelines, and attribution

BBB moderates customer reviews under its review guidelines and removes spam, fraudulent submissions, and content that violates its policies. Because BlooTrue reads only your profile's public reviews, the widget automatically reflects those removals on the next sync — you never display content BBB has already taken down. Every card keeps the BBB mark and the reviewer's name, and clicking a review links back to your BBB business profile, so attribution stays intact. BlooTrue never fabricates a rating: an empty star-only review (a star rating with no written text) is still shown as a real review, and the header number is always BBB's own customer-review aggregate.

BBB tips for Canva

  • Canva Websites supports the BBB widget via the Embed element — paste the snippet URL into the embed prompt.
  • BBB's widget is the only external review widget that renders cleanly inside Canva's mobile preview without scrollbars.
  • If you publish your Canva site to a custom domain, the BBB widget continues working without any reconfiguration.

How Do I Install BlooTrue BBB on Canva Sites?

Takes less than a minute. No marketplace install, no Canva Pro required, no BBB API key.

1

Open Your Canva Sites Design

Open the Canva design you plan to publish as a website. Any Canva design type can be turned into a published site via Convert to Website — start from a Website template, or convert an existing design (poster, presentation, doc) into a Canva Site.

Not every Canva template starts as a Sites design — Convert to Website is what makes it publishable.

2

Open the Built-in Embed App

Click Apps in the left sidebar of the Canva editor, search for "Embed", and select the built-in Embed app. No marketplace install required — the Embed app ships in every Canva account, free or paid.

3

Paste the Embed Code (Not the URL)

Build your widget in the BlooTrue builder on this page (paste your BBB business profile URL, e.g. bbb.org/./profile/your-business-slug) and copy the embed code. Back in the Canva Embed app, paste the snippet into the Embed code field — not the URL field. The Embed app supports raw HTML, which is what BlooTrue ships.

Click Add to design. The widget renders inline on your Canva canvas as an iframe.

4

Position and Publish

Position the embed on your canvas and resize it the way you would any Canva element. Canva Sites is design-first, so the embed renders at the exact pixel size you set — switch to the mobile view (phone icon at the top of the canvas) and resize independently for smaller screens.

Click Publish website. Your BBB reviews go live at your *.my.canva.site URL on the free tier, or at your custom domain if you're on Canva Pro / Teams.

Reviews auto-sync from BBB every 24 hours.

Canva BBB Review Widget — Free Embed for Canva Sites, Fills BBB's Embed Gap

BlooTrue's BBB Review Widget for Canva is a free embed for Canva Sites — drops into any Canva design via the built-in Embed app. BBB doesn't ship an official embed widget at all; its Fusion API is gated for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. The Canva Embed app + BlooTrue is the only path to live BBB reviews on a Canva-published site. Canva Sites is the publishing feature Canva launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024 that lets you turn any Canva design into a one-page or multi-page published website with a free *.my.canva.site subdomain (custom domains on Canva Pro / Teams). The Embed app ships built into every Canva account — no marketplace install, no Canva Pro requirement to use either the Embed app or Canva Sites publishing. Works with any public BBB business profile — no BBB API key, no BBB Fusion application, no business-level claim required. Note: not every Canva template starts as a Sites design — use Convert to Website on any existing design to make it publishable.

Important: Canva Sites is design-first, not responsive-first

The Canva canvas is a fixed-size design surface, so the BlooTrue embed renders at whatever pixel dimensions you set in the editor — it does not auto-fluidly resize. Canva does support mobile-specific layouts: switch to the mobile view in the editor and resize the embed independently for that breakpoint. Pick a single-column widget style (List, Compact Badge, Slider) for the mobile canvas.

JSON-LD honesty on Canva Sites

Canva Sites does not currently let you control the parent-page schema or inject custom JSON-LD into the document head. The BlooTrue embed iframe still emits its own Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its document, which is indexable, but parent-document schema generally carries more rich-snippet weight in Google.

About BBB reviews in this widget

A BBB widget carries the customer reviews posted on your BBB business profile, each with the 1 to 5 stars the customer gave. The figure in the header is the profile's customer-review star average and how many reviews BBB lists, never the letter grade: the A+ to F rating is BBB's own grade for how your business deals with BBB, complaints included, and stays separate from what customers write. Accreditation is not required. Some owners paste the BBB Accredited Business seal expecting reviews, but the seal only displays the letter grade and accreditation status.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my A+ BBB rating be the number in the widget header?

No. The header shows the star average of your BBB customer reviews, pulled from your public profile, together with the review count. The A+ to F letter grade is BBB's own assessment of how you interact with BBB and stays separate from customer reviews, so a profile can hold an A+ alongside a 3-star average.

I am not BBB accredited, can I still put my BBB reviews on my site?

Yes. Accreditation is a separate BBB status and the builder does not check for it; it reads any public BBB business profile from its URL, accredited or not. The BBB Accredited Business seal is a different thing again: it displays your letter grade and accreditation status, not the customer review cards you want on the page.

Do BBB complaints show up in the review widget?

No. BBB keeps complaints and customer reviews as separate records on your profile, and the widget imports only the 1 to 5 star customer reviews. Complaints feed into the letter grade, which the widget does not show. A free widget shows the customer reviews as of the day you built it; paid plans re-check your profile daily.

Is the BlooTrue BBB widget free for Canva?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Canva Sites. No marketplace install, no Canva Pro requirement, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your BBB reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

What is Canva Sites and how do I publish one?

Canva Sites is the publishing feature Canva launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024 — it turns any Canva design into a one-page or multi-page published website. Open your design, click Convert to Website if it isn’t already a Sites design, then click Publish website. Free Canva accounts get a *.my.canva.site subdomain; Canva Pro and Teams unlock custom domains.

Will the Embed app work without Canva Pro?

Yes. Both the Embed app and Canva Sites publishing are available on the free Canva tier. You can publish a Canva site with embedded BBB reviews to a *.my.canva.site URL at $0/month. Canva Pro is only required for custom domains and brand-kit features.

Does BBB offer its own embed widget for Canva?

No. BBB does not provide an official embed widget for businesses to display their reviews on a Canva site or anywhere else. BBB's Fusion API is gated and primarily intended for partner apps, not merchant self-embeds. The Canva Embed app + BlooTrue is the only path to live BBB reviews on a Canva-published site.

Why does the embed render at a fixed size on Canva?

Canva Sites is design-first — every element on your page sits on a fixed-size canvas like the rest of the design, not on a responsive web layout. The BlooTrue embed therefore renders at whatever pixel size you set inside the Canva editor. Position and size it carefully, and use Canva’s mobile-specific layout view to give it a different size on smaller screens.

How do I make the widget look right on mobile in Canva Sites?

Switch to the mobile view in the Canva editor (phone icon at the top of the canvas) and resize the BlooTrue embed independently for that breakpoint. Pick a single-column widget style — List, Compact Badge, or Slider — for the mobile layout, since Grid and Masonry layouts need more horizontal space than a phone canvas provides.

Will Google see the JSON-LD markup on a Canva Sites page?

Honest answer: Canva Sites doesn’t let you control the parent-page schema or inject custom <script type="application/ld+json"> at the page level. The BlooTrue embed iframe still emits Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its own document, which is indexable, but Google generally weights schema in the parent document more heavily. If rich-snippet eligibility is your top SEO concern, a CMS that exposes the document head (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) gives you more control than Canva Sites does today.
