Google Review Widget for Blogger — Free, No App Needed
BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for Blogger is a free embed that displays your reviews on any Blogger blog (.blogspot.com or custom-domain) via the Layout HTML/JavaScript gadget or by switching a post to HTML view. The Blogger free plan supports this fully — there is no upgrade, no premium tier, and no third-party Blogger app store install because Blogger has no marketplace. The Layout gadget approach places the widget sitewide (sidebar / footer / header), runs across every blog page, and avoids the editor-state quirk where Bloggers Compose view can auto-escape pasted HTML when you toggle back from HTML view. The inline post-HTML approach is for cases where you only want reviews to appear inside one specific article — paste while in HTML view, save from HTML view, then view the live post. Six widget styles (slider, grid, list, masonry, badge, compact badge) with light and dark themes plus a free custom color picker. SEO rich snippets — schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD — are injected automatically on top of Bloggers stock theme schema (Article, BlogPosting), giving your blog two independent structured-data signals on the same page without conflict.
How to embed Google reviews on Blogger in 60 seconds
- Search your business in the configurator above (or paste your Google Maps share link).
- Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
- Click Copy Code to get the one-line HTML embed.
- Sitewide (recommended): open blogger.com → Layout, click Add a Gadget in the sidebar, footer, or header region, choose HTML/JavaScript, paste the embed code, and click Save.
- Inline post placement: open Posts → Edit, switch the editor from Compose to HTML view using the toggle in the top-left, paste the embed in the post body, then save and view from HTML view directly.
- Save — your Google reviews are live on Blogger.
Does Blogger have native Google Reviews integration?
No. Even though Blogger and Google Reviews are both Google products, Blogger does not have a built-in Google reviews gadget. Some bloggers manually copy and paste review text into a post — but that is static and goes stale the moment a new review comes in. BlooTrue auto-syncs the live Google reviews via the Layout gadget so the displayed reviews always reflect your current Google Business profile.
