Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Capterra reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

How to Add Capterra Reviews to Joomla

Connect your Capterra profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the Custom HTML module on Joomla and publish.

  1. 1

    In the Joomla admin, create a Custom module (System → Site Modules → New → Custom).

  2. 2

    Switch the editor to code view (or set your editor to 'None' in user settings).

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code and assign the module to a template position and menu pages.

  4. 4

    Save & publish — the widget renders in that position.

TinyMCE strips script tags on save — switch the editor to 'None'/CodeMirror before pasting, or the embed silently disappears.

Where the Code Goes on Joomla

Joomla holds the embed in a Custom module, created from System, then Site Modules, then New, then Custom, and shown wherever you assign a template position and menu items.

The admin form shows only your code; nothing renders until you open the site. Width comes from the template position you pick, and module chrome such as Cassiopeia's card style adds its own padding. TinyMCE removes script tags on save, so set your account's editor to None or CodeMirror before pasting, and check Text Filters in Global Configuration if your user group is filtered. Clear the cache under System after publishing.

If the widget does not show on Joomla

  • If the saved module is empty, TinyMCE stripped the script; switch your editor to None or CodeMirror in your user settings and paste again.
  • Module saved but nothing on the site? Check the Menu Assignment tab so the module shows on the pages you expect, and confirm the position exists in your template.
  • Old content still showing after edits usually means Joomla's page cache; go to System, Clear Cache, and reload the front end.

Still blank? Our help article Widget not showing covers the checks that apply on every site.

Capterra Review Widget for Joomla — Free, No Plugin

Embed Capterra reviews on any Joomla page with a single copy-paste embed code. Capterra software reviews, embedded where buyers compare and decide. Installs via the Custom HTML module.

Where Capterra reviews help most on Joomla

Software companies on Joomla often have big content sites: docs, a blog, landing pages built by the marketing team.

Put the Capterra widget on the home page, the pricing page and every comparison or alternatives page, where buyers do the most checking. Posts that rank for problems your product solves can end with a compact widget beside a trial link. Documentation rarely needs it, because readers there are already users. If the pricing page is assembled from page-builder blocks, give the widget its own block rather than squeezing it into a pricing table cell, where it would be cut to the width of one plan.

About Capterra reviews in this widget

The Capterra widget brings the reviews from your Capterra product listing to your pages, with the rating out of 5 and review count Capterra publishes in the header. Software buyers use Capterra, a Gartner company, to build shortlists, so put the widget on the pages where they compare you. Capterra checks each review before publishing it. What site owners get wrong is reading the header as an average of the reviews on the page. It is Capterra's own figure and counts every review, including lower-rated ones a free widget leaves out.

Capterra Widget on Joomla — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Capterra review widget free for Joomla?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Capterra reviews on Joomla. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on Joomla?
In the Joomla admin, create a Custom module (System → Site Modules → New → Custom). Switch the editor to code view (or set your editor to 'None' in user settings). Paste the BlooTrue embed code and assign the module to a template position and menu pages. Save & publish — the widget renders in that position.
Anything specific to Joomla worth knowing before I embed?
TinyMCE strips script tags on save — switch the editor to 'None'/CodeMirror before pasting, or the embed silently disappears.
Where should I place Capterra reviews on Joomla for the biggest lift?
A full-width module position under the article intro on the homepage.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Capterra reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Joomla again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
What do I paste into the builder to pull my Capterra reviews?
The address of your product listing on Capterra, which takes the form capterra.com/p/ followed by a number and your product name. The builder reads the rating, review count and reviews from that listing. Pick a layout, copy the one-line embed and paste it into your comparison page; the whole thing takes about a minute.
I already display a Capterra badge, why would I add a widget?
Because the badge is an image. It shows no review content, none of the words reviewers wrote about your software, and no count of how many wrote them. The widget lists the reviews from your Capterra listing, so a buyer on your comparison page reads what other buyers said without leaving for Capterra.
Will my Capterra rating appear as stars under my page in Google search results?
No. Google's review-snippet rules exclude reviews a business shows about itself through an embedded widget. Paid plans still add schema.org Review and AggregateRating markup as JSON-LD carrying your Capterra rating and review count, which search engines and AI assistants can read when the embed renders inline on your page; if the embed sits in a sandboxed iframe, they never see it.
