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 G2 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 G2 Reviews to Joomla

Connect your G2 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.

G2 Review Widget for Joomla — Free, No Plugin

Embed G2 reviews on any Joomla page with a single copy-paste embed code. Real G2 stars — the B2B software buyer's strongest trust signal — on your own site. Installs via the Custom HTML module.

Where G2 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 G2 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 G2 reviews in this widget

Your G2 widget lists the reviews from your G2 product profile and puts the star rating and review count G2 reports for that profile in the header. Both figures are read from G2, not averaged from the reviews on the page. G2 verifies the people who leave those ratings, which is why software buyers check them before booking a demo. The mistake to avoid is treating a G2 badge as an embed. G2 badges are image files with no review text behind them, so a visitor learns nothing beyond the logo. The widget shows the reviews themselves.

G2 Widget on Joomla — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue G2 review widget free for Joomla?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed G2 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 G2 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 G2 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.
We have two products listed on G2, can each one get its own widget?
Each widget reads one G2 product profile, the page at g2.com/products/your-product/reviews, so two products means two widgets with two URLs. The free plan includes a single widget, so start with the product your site promotes most; the header will carry that product's own G2 rating and review count.
Which number sits at the top of the G2 widget?
The star rating and review count from your G2 product profile, as G2 publishes them. BlooTrue does not build a new average from the G2 reviews it displays. Since the free plan lists only your G2 reviews of four stars and up, the header can read lower than the reviews under it, because G2 counts the lower ratings too.
What do I give up by using the free plan for G2 reviews?
Two things. A small BlooTrue badge appears on the widget, and the widget keeps the G2 reviews present when you created it rather than fetching new ones. There is no card to enter and no view limit. Paid plans remove the badge and check your G2 profile every day for reviews added since.
