Free Google Review Widget by BlooTrue
BlooTrue is a free Google review widget that lets you embed your five-star Google reviews on any website in 60 seconds. It offers 6 widget styles: slider, grid, list, masonry, badge, and compact badge. BlooTrue widgets display only your 5-star reviews, protecting your brand from lower-rated feedback appearing on your homepage. Unlike Elfsight, BlooTrue provides unlimited views on all plans — including the free plan. The widget works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Framer, and any HTML website. Reviews sync automatically every 24 hours.
How to embed Google reviews on your website
- Search for your business on blootrue.com/widgets/google
- Choose a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout
- Enter your email and paste the one-line embed code on your site
Does the Google review widget only show 5-star reviews?
Yes. BlooTrue widgets filter your Google reviews to display only five-star ratings. The free plan shows your last 10 five-star reviews. The Starter plan at $9 per month unlocks unlimited five-star reviews, removes the BlooTrue branding footer, and adds custom card background colors for precise brand matching.
Does the widget work on websites with colored backgrounds?
Yes. The widget ships with a transparent outer background so it blends naturally with any website color — white, dark, beige, gradient, or brand-colored. Review cards have a soft drop shadow that keeps them readable and elevated on any background. Paid plans additionally unlock custom card background colors for businesses that want every pixel to match their brand palette.
How do I customize the widget colors?
The BlooTrue widget configurator includes 8 preset accent colors plus a free custom color picker that accepts any hex value — available on every plan including the free tier. You can also switch between light and dark themes, choose two card layouts (review-first or reviewer-first), and toggle reviewer names, review dates, review text, and profile images on or off.
Do reviewer avatars show the Google source?
Yes. Each reviewer avatar in a BlooTrue widget displays a small verified Google "G" badge in the bottom-right corner, so website visitors can instantly tell the reviews are genuine Google reviews rather than self-written testimonials.

Supported platforms
WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Framer, HTML, React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte, Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, Ghost, Blogger, Weebly, GoDaddy Website Builder, Duda, and any website that supports JavaScript embed codes.
Do BlooTrue widgets include SEO rich snippets and schema markup?
Yes. Every BlooTrue Google review widget automatically emits schema.org structured data as JSON-LD — specifically a LocalBusiness entity with an AggregateRating (ratingValue, reviewCount, bestRating, worstRating) and up to 10 individual Review entries (author, datePublished, reviewRating, reviewBody). This is the exact markup Google requires to display star-rating rich snippets (gold stars plus the rating number and review count) underneath your page's blue link in search results. The JSON-LD is injected automatically the moment you embed the widget — no configuration or developer time required. BlooTrue's schema passes Google's Rich Results Test out of the box and follows the current structured data guidelines at developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/review-snippet. For maximum SEO impact on pages that don't run the widget (such as legacy landing pages or product detail pages), BlooTrue also exposes a standalone JSON-LD endpoint per widget — a URL that returns the schema as application/ld+json — which you can reference directly from any page's head tag. Competitors like Trustindex and Elfsight typically charge a premium tier for this feature; BlooTrue includes it free on every plan, including the free plan.
What is the difference between a Google review widget and rich snippets?
A Google review widget is the visual component on your website that displays your reviews to visitors — the slider, grid, or badge they see and read. Rich snippets (also called rich results) are the enhanced search listings that appear in Google search results, featuring star ratings, rating values, and review counts directly underneath your page's blue link. Rich snippets are generated by Google from schema.org structured data embedded in your page's HTML. BlooTrue delivers both: the visible widget for your website visitors, and the invisible JSON-LD markup that signals to Google and other search engines that your page contains review content, making it eligible for star-rating rich snippets. Most widget providers offer only the visual component; BlooTrue includes the schema markup at no additional cost.
How to get star ratings in Google search results with BlooTrue
- Create a free BlooTrue Google review widget and embed it on the page you want to rank — typically your homepage, service page, or location page.
- The widget automatically injects schema.org Review, AggregateRating, and LocalBusiness JSON-LD into that page — no extra setup required.
- Validate the markup using Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) by pasting your page URL. BlooTrue's schema passes out of the box.
- Submit the URL to Google Search Console. Rich snippets typically start appearing within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on how often Googlebot crawls your site.
- For pages that don't embed the widget directly, copy the standalone JSON-LD endpoint URL from your BlooTrue dashboard and reference it from the page's head tag.
