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 Google 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

Why Use BlooTrue for Canva Sites?

The fastest way to put Google reviews on your Canva-published site — Canva itself has no Google reviews app.

Fills Canva’s Missing Reviews App

Canva’s built-in Apps panel covers Bitly, Mailchimp, Pixabay, stock images — there is no native Google Reviews app. BlooTrue is the free embed designed for Canva’s Embed app.

Works on the Free Canva Tier

Both the Embed app and Canva Sites publishing are included on the free Canva plan. Publish a Canva site with Google reviews at *.my.canva.site for $0/month — Canva Pro is only required for custom domains.

No Marketplace Install

The Embed app ships built into every Canva account. No third-party marketplace install, no permission scopes, no recurring fee. Just paste the BlooTrue embed code and click Add to design.

Auto-Sync with Google

New Google reviews appear on your Canva site automatically every 24 hours. No re-publishing, no manual refresh, no admin work after the initial paste.

How Do I Install BlooTrue on Canva Sites?

Takes less than a minute. No marketplace install, no Canva Pro required.

1

Open Your Canva Sites Design

Open the Canva design you plan to publish as a website. Any Canva design type can be turned into a published site via Convert to Website — start from a Website template, or convert an existing design (poster, presentation, doc) into a Canva Site.

Not every Canva template starts as a Sites design — Convert to Website is what makes it publishable.

2

Open the Built-in Embed App

Click Apps in the left sidebar of the Canva editor, search for "Embed", and select the built-in Embed app. No marketplace install required — the Embed app ships in every Canva account, free or paid.

3

Paste the Embed Code (Not the URL)

Build your widget in the BlooTrue builder on this page and click the embed code. Back in the Canva Embed app, paste the snippet into the Embed code field — not the URL field. The Embed app supports raw HTML, which is what BlooTrue ships.

Click Add to design. The widget renders inline on your Canva canvas as an iframe.

4

Position and Publish

Position the embed on your canvas and resize it the way you would any Canva element. Canva Sites is design-first, so the embed renders at the exact pixel size you set — switch to the mobile view (phone icon at the top of the canvas) and resize independently for smaller screens.

Click Publish website. Your Google reviews go live at your *.my.canva.site URL on the free tier, or at your custom domain if you're on Canva Pro / Teams.

Reviews auto-sync from Google every 24 hours — no need to re-publish your Canva site.

Canva Google Review Widget — Free Embed for Canva Sites

BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for Canva is a free embed for Canva Sites — drops into any Canva design via the built-in Embed app. Canva Sites is the publishing feature Canva launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024: it lets you turn any Canva design into a one-page or multi-page published website with a free *.my.canva.site subdomain (custom domains require Canva Pro or Canva Teams). The Embed app is built into every Canva account, free and paid — there is no separate marketplace install, and no Canva Pro requirement to use either the Embed app or Canva Sites publishing. Note: not every Canva template starts as a Sites design. If your design isn't already a Site, use Convert to Website to make it publishable.

Important: Canva Sites is design-first, not responsive-first

The Canva canvas is a fixed-size design surface, so the BlooTrue embed renders at whatever pixel dimensions you set in the editor — it does not auto-fluidly resize the way it would on a WordPress or Webflow page. Canva does support mobile-specific layouts: switch to the mobile view in the editor and resize the embed independently for that breakpoint. Pick a single-column widget style (List, Compact Badge, Slider) for the mobile canvas.

JSON-LD honesty on Canva Sites

Canva Sites does not currently let you control the parent-page schema or inject custom JSON-LD into the document head. The BlooTrue embed iframe still emits its own Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its document, which is indexable, but parent-document schema generally carries more rich-snippet weight in Google. If rich-snippet eligibility is your top SEO priority, a CMS that exposes the head (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) gives you more control than Canva Sites does today.

BlooTrue vs Canva's built-in apps

Canva has no native Google reviews integration. Canva's built-in Apps panel includes things like Bitly, Mailchimp, Pixabay, and stock-image providers — there is no Google Reviews app, and no Yelp app. The Embed app is the universal escape hatch for raw HTML embeds, and BlooTrue is the free Google reviews embed designed for it.

About Google reviews in this widget

Your Google widget shows the reviews on your Google Business Profile, and the number above the cards is the Google rating and review count as Google reports them, not an average of the cards. Anyone with a Google account can rate you from Maps or Search, no purchase needed. Google offers no review embed and the Business Profile has no widget, so pasting a Maps embed gives owners a map, not reviews. The free plan keeps the 4-star-and-up Google reviews imported at creation; a review left on Maps next week needs a paid plan's daily refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the rating in my Google widget not match the average of the reviews it shows?

Because the header number is what Google publishes for your Business Profile, not a figure BlooTrue works out from the cards. The free plan shows only your 4-star-and-up Google reviews, so averaging those cards would give a higher number than Google does. Keeping Google's rating and count means visitors see the figure from Maps.

Can I get an embed code for reviews from my Google Business Profile?

No. The Business Profile gives you a link for asking customers to review you, but no embed code and no widget. The BlooTrue builder finds your profile when you type the business name, city and country, then hands you a one-line embed to paste into your website with no plugin, in about a minute.

Will embedding Google reviews put star ratings under my site in Google search?

No. Google's review-snippet rules exclude reviews a business shows about itself through an embedded widget. A paid widget still emits schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD carrying your Google rating, and that markup reaches your page when the builder renders the embed inline rather than in a sandboxed iframe, so search engines and AI assistants can read your reviews as structured data.

Is the BlooTrue Google review widget free for Canva?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Canva Sites. No marketplace install, no Canva Pro requirement, unlimited views, no credit card. The free plan shows your Google reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding and unlock more widgets.

What is Canva Sites and how do I publish one?

Canva Sites is the publishing feature Canva launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024 — it turns any Canva design into a one-page or multi-page published website. Open your design, click Convert to Website if it isn’t already a Sites design, then click Publish website. Free Canva accounts get a *.my.canva.site subdomain; Canva Pro and Teams unlock custom domains.

Will the Embed app work without Canva Pro?

Yes. Both the Embed app and Canva Sites publishing are available on the free Canva tier. You can publish a Canva site with embedded Google reviews to a *.my.canva.site URL at $0/month. Canva Pro is only required for custom domains and brand-kit features — not for the Embed app or for Sites publishing itself.

Why does the embed render at a fixed size on Canva?

Canva Sites is design-first — every element on your page sits on a fixed-size canvas like the rest of the design, not on a responsive web layout. The BlooTrue embed therefore renders at whatever pixel size you set inside the Canva editor. Position and size it carefully, and use Canva’s mobile-specific layout view to give it a different size on smaller screens.

How do I make the widget look right on mobile in Canva Sites?

Switch to the mobile view in the Canva editor (the phone icon at the top of the canvas) and resize the BlooTrue embed independently for that breakpoint. Pick a single-column widget style — List, Compact Badge, or Slider — for the mobile layout, since Grid and Masonry layouts need more horizontal space than a phone canvas provides.

Will the BlooTrue widget slow down my Canva-published site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously inside the Canva Embed app iframe, so it never blocks the rest of the Canva canvas from rendering. The script is under 20KB, reviews are served from a CDN cache, and lazy loading defers any image fetches until the embed enters the viewport. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.

Will Google see the JSON-LD markup on a Canva Sites page?

Honest answer: Canva Sites doesn’t let you control the parent-page schema or inject custom <script type="application/ld+json"> at the page level. The BlooTrue embed iframe still emits Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its own document, which is indexable, but Google generally weights schema in the parent document more heavily. If rich-snippet eligibility is your top SEO concern, a CMS that exposes the document head (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow) gives you more control than Canva Sites does today.
