Capterra reviews in a Next.js marketing site

Software companies on Next.js usually have engineers maintaining the marketing site, so adding reviews is a code change rather than a drag and drop. Capterra reviews come from people who used your product, writing for buyers like the ones reading your site. What matters is how the widget behaves across builds and where it lives in the codebase.

Do I redeploy my Next.js site when new Capterra reviews arrive?

No. The reviews load from BlooTrue into the div on the client, so a static or cached page shows them without a new build.

Which reviews appear depends on your plan rather than your deploys: a paid plan reads your Capterra listing daily, while a free widget keeps those present when you created it. Your build pipeline never needs to know about reviews.

Where should the Capterra widget div live in a Next.js codebase?

In one small shared component that any page can render, while the next/script loader stays in app/layout.tsx and runs once.

SaaS sites often generate many similar pages from data, such as integration or use-case pages. A reviews component that wraps the div in a sized container lets you add Capterra proof to all of them at once, and move it later with a single edit.

Example

A scheduling software company with integration pages

Its integration pages are generated from a list of partner apps. The team adds the BlooTrue loader to app/layout.tsx and a small reviews component holding the widget div, with className in place of class, then renders it under the hero of every integration page. Buyers checking whether the tool fits their stack also read what Capterra reviewers said.

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

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 Next.js / React

Connect your Capterra profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the next/script component on Next.js / React and publish.

  1. 1

    In app/layout.tsx import Script from next/script and add the BlooTrue loader once inside the body, with strategy set to afterInteractive.

  2. 2

    Drop the widget div into any page or component where the reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Change class to className on that div — the snippet is HTML and JSX will not accept class.

  4. 4

    Deploy. The loader watches the DOM, so the widget survives client-side navigation too.

A raw <script> tag pasted into a component will not execute, which is what next/script is for — and the snippet's class attribute has to become className or React drops it.

Where the Code Goes on Next.js / React

In a Next.js app the snippet splits in two. The loader goes in once, in app/layout.tsx, as a next/script component with strategy set to afterInteractive so it survives client-side navigation.

The div goes wherever the reviews belong, in any page or component. The one edit the pasted code needs is class becoming className, because the snippet is HTML and JSX will not accept class. The widget takes the width of its parent element, so a max-width wrapper is the usual way to size it.

If the widget does not show on Next.js / React

  • If nothing renders, check the div uses className rather than class — React silently drops the class attribute and the loader then finds nothing to mount.
  • A raw script tag pasted straight into a component will not execute. Use next/script with strategy afterInteractive instead.
  • If the widget shows on a hard refresh but not after in-app navigation, the loader was placed in a page rather than in the layout. Move it to app/layout.tsx so it mounts once for the whole app.

Capterra Review Widget for Next.js / React — Free, No Plugin

Embed Capterra reviews on any Next.js / React page with a single copy-paste embed code. Capterra software reviews, embedded where buyers compare and decide. Installs via the next/script component.

Where Capterra reviews help most on Next.js / React

Software companies with a custom-built marketing site tend to put the Capterra widget in three places: the home page below the hero, the pricing page above the plans, and the sign-up page beside the form.

The sign-up page is the one teams forget, and it is where a visitor about to create an account has one last doubt. Keep the widget out of the product itself; logged-in users do not need to be sold to again. Give it a container with a sensible maximum width so it does not stretch across a wide pricing layout, and match its theme to the site's light or dark mode.

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 Next.js / React — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Capterra review widget free for Next.js / React?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Capterra reviews on Next.js / React. 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 Next.js / React?
In app/layout.tsx import Script from next/script and add the BlooTrue loader once inside the body, with strategy set to afterInteractive. Drop the widget div into any page or component where the reviews should appear. Change class to className on that div — the snippet is HTML and JSX will not accept class. Deploy. The loader watches the DOM, so the widget survives client-side navigation too.
Anything specific to Next.js / React worth knowing before I embed?
A raw <script> tag pasted into a component will not execute, which is what next/script is for — and the snippet's class attribute has to become className or React drops it.
Where should I place Capterra reviews on Next.js / React for the biggest lift?
Under the hero on the landing page and beside the pricing CTA — on SaaS and agency sites the proof belongs at the decision point.
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 Next.js / React 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.
