Why Use BlooTrue for BBB on Jimdo?

The only free way to put BBB reviews on your Jimdo site — BBB itself doesn't offer an embed.

Fills BBB's Missing Embed

BBB doesn't publish an official embed widget for merchants. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — pulls reviews from your public BBB business profile automatically, into the standard Jimdo Widget/HTML element.

Works on Creator and Dolphin / AI Builder

Both Jimdo editors ship the Widget/HTML element. Paste the same BlooTrue snippet into the HTML field on either editor — no plugin, no Jimdo-specific configuration.

Works on Free .jimdofree.com Sites

The Widget/HTML element is available on every Jimdo plan, including the free .jimdofree.com tier. BlooTrue's free plan and Jimdo's free plan stack — zero recurring cost.

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 Jimdo

Jimdo's "Widget / HTML" module is the right place to paste the BBB widget snippet — not the "Text" module.
For Jimdo Dolphin (AI-built) sites, the widget renders inside any custom HTML section without overriding the Dolphin layout.
BBB's widget renders identically across Jimdo Free and Jimdo Pro plans — no plan-tier gating on the BlooTrue side.

How Do I Install BlooTrue BBB on Jimdo?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no plugin install, no BBB API key.

Open Your Site in the Jimdo Editor

Log in at jimdo.com and open your site in the Jimdo editor. The same install steps work on both Jimdo Creator (the classic drag-and-drop builder) and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder (the newer AI-powered editor).

Both Jimdo products are still actively maintained and both ship the Widget/HTML element.

Add a Widget/HTML Element

Jimdo Creator: Hover over the position where you want the reviews to appear and click + Add Element. The inline element picker opens — scroll to the Widget/HTML tile and click it.

Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder: Click the + floating button between sections, then click More, then choose Widget.

Same element, slightly different menu path — pick whichever editor you use.

Paste into the HTML Field (Not the URL Field)

Paste the BlooTrue BBB embed code into the HTML field of the Widget/HTML element. The element has two inputs and the distinction matters:

HTML field — accepts raw HTML and JavaScript. This is where the BlooTrue snippet goes.
URL field — for embedding an entire other website inside an iframe. The BlooTrue snippet will not work here because the URL field expects a single URL, not a script tag.

If you accidentally paste into the URL field, the widget will silently fail — switch to the HTML field.

Save, Preview, and Publish

Click Save inside the Widget/HTML element, then click Preview in the top right of the Jimdo editor to verify the reviews render. Once you're happy, click Publish.

Reviews auto-sync from BBB every 24 hours.

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

BlooTrue's BBB Review Widget for Jimdo is a free embed that displays your reviews on any Jimdo site — works with both Jimdo Creator and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder via the Widget/HTML element. BBB has no official embed widget for merchants — only third-party widgets like BlooTrue can put BBB reviews on Jimdo. The free Jimdo plan (.jimdofree.com subdomain with Jimdo branding) supports the widget; paid Jimdo plans (Start at $9, Grow at $15, Unlimited at $39) work identically. Jimdo does not have a third-party app marketplace like Wix or Shopify, so there is no plugin to install — the widget is just an HTML snippet you paste into a Widget/HTML element. No BBB API key, no BBB Fusion application, no business-level claim required. Strong support for DACH-region domains (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) since Jimdo is German-origin and these are its core markets.

Why doesn't BBB have an official embed for Jimdo?

BBB's Fusion API is positioned as a partner-channel product (used by sites like Apple Maps and Trivago) rather than as a merchant self-service product. BBB does not publish a paste-ready embed widget the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way Jimdo sites surface their BBB reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category, and pastes directly into the standard Jimdo Widget/HTML element.

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 Jimdo?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Jimdo. No Jimdo plugin, no app store install (Jimdo has no third-party app marketplace), unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your BBB reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does this work on both Jimdo Creator and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder?

Yes. Both Jimdo products are still actively maintained and both ship the Widget/HTML element. The menu path differs slightly: in Jimdo Creator click "+ Add Element" → "Widget/HTML"; in Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder click the "+" button → "More" → "Widget". The HTML field accepts the BlooTrue BBB embed code identically on both editors.

Where exactly is the Widget/HTML element on each Jimdo editor?

On Jimdo Creator, hover the position where you want the reviews and click "+ Add Element" — the inline element picker opens, scroll to the "Widget/HTML" tile and click it. On Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder, click the "+" floating button between sections, then click "More", then choose "Widget".

Will the widget work on a free .jimdofree.com subdomain?

Yes. The BlooTrue BBB widget works on every Jimdo plan, including the free tier on .jimdofree.com subdomains. The Widget/HTML element is available on Jimdo Free as well as the paid Start ($9), Grow ($15), and Unlimited ($39) plans.

Can I customize the widget colors to match my Jimdo template?

Yes. The style gallery on this page and the BlooTrue builder let you pick from 100+ widget styles, light or dark themes, and a custom accent color (free hex picker).

Will the widget slow down my Jimdo site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your Jimdo page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Why is the URL field different from the HTML field on the Widget/HTML element?

The Widget/HTML element on Jimdo has two distinct inputs. The HTML field accepts raw HTML and JavaScript and is the correct place for the BlooTrue BBB embed code — paste here. The URL field is intended for embedding an entire other website inside an iframe (e.g. another tool you host elsewhere).
