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 Glassdoor 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 Glassdoor Reviews to Joomla

Connect your Glassdoor 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.

Glassdoor Review Widget for Joomla — Free, No Plugin

Embed Glassdoor reviews on any Joomla page with a single copy-paste embed code. Show your Glassdoor employer rating on your careers and hiring pages. Installs via the Custom HTML module.

Where Glassdoor reviews help most on Joomla

Companies running Joomla sites usually have a careers section with a page per role, sometimes fed by a job board plugin.

Add the Glassdoor widget to the careers landing page above the list of roles, and as a compact badge in the job post template near the Apply button. Posts about the team or company culture are a natural third spot. If a job board plugin renders the role pages, paste the widget into the page around the plugin's block rather than into the plugin's own settings, where an update can wipe it without warning.

About Glassdoor reviews in this widget

The Glassdoor widget puts your Glassdoor employer rating and the reviews behind it on your careers and hiring pages, where candidates check before applying. The header is the employer rating out of 5 and review count read from Glassdoor, never worked out from the reviews on show. Those reviews are written by current and former employees, not customers, so the widget shows what working for you is like. Employers get one thing wrong: assuming they need Glassdoor's paid employer products before embedding their rating. You do not; the builder reads your public Glassdoor company page.

Glassdoor Widget on Joomla — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Glassdoor review widget free for Joomla?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Glassdoor 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 Glassdoor 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 Glassdoor 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.
How do I get my Glassdoor employer rating onto the careers page of my own site?
Paste your Glassdoor company profile URL into the BlooTrue builder, choose a layout and copy the one-line embed into the careers page; it takes about a minute and installs nothing. The widget shows the employer rating Glassdoor gives you, out of 5, with employee reviews beneath it, so candidates see it without leaving your site.
Do bad Glassdoor reviews from former employees appear in the widget?
Not on the free plan, which lists only your Glassdoor reviews rated four stars or higher. The header is different: it shows the employer rating Glassdoor calculates from every review, so a 3.6 on Glassdoor reads 3.6 in the widget even though the low-rated reviews are absent from the list.
Someone posted a new Glassdoor review, does my widget change?
Only on paid plans, which re-read your Glassdoor profile once a day and add reviews Glassdoor has published since. A free widget keeps the employee reviews and the employer rating captured when you created it, so a review posted in May stays off a free widget you built in April.
