Free Google Review Widgets for Google Sites

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.

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.

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.

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Google Sites. No add-on install, no Chrome extension, 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.

The new Google Sites at sites.google.com — the modern Drive-based version. The legacy Classic Google Sites was deprecated by Google and migrated off years ago, so all current sites.google.com URLs are the new version. BlooTrue uses the built-in Insert → Embed → Embed code feature, which only exists in the new Google Sites.

Yes. Google Sites is included with every Google Workspace plan (Business Starter through Enterprise) at no extra cost. The Insert → Embed → Embed code feature is identical to the personal-account version, so the BlooTrue embed pastes the same way. No Workspace admin approval is required because the embed is pure HTML — there is no Marketplace add-on to whitelist.

Google Sites wraps every embed in its own sandboxed iframe — that is how the Insert → Embed feature works for every site, not a BlooTrue quirk. BlooTrue's widget loader detects this iframe-in-iframe case and renders correctly inside it. The visible frame is the Google Sites resize handle.

The Embed code tab. The Insert → Embed dialog has two tabs: By URL (for auto-iframe of a public URL) and Embed code (for raw HTML / script embeds). Paste the BlooTrue snippet into the Embed code tab. The URL tab will not work because it expects a single URL that returns a webpage, not an HTML / script snippet.

The widget itself auto-resizes its contents inside the iframe Google Sites wraps it in, but the outer iframe height is set by the resize handle in the Google Sites editor — not by the widget. Set a generous height on the canvas (drag the bottom-right corner) so the widget never hits a scroll cap.

No. The widget loads asynchronously inside its sandboxed iframe, so it never blocks the parent Google Sites page from rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — the iframe sandboxing actually further isolates the widget from the parent page.

Partially, with one honest caveat. BlooTrue auto-injects schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD inside the embed iframe, which Bing and DuckDuckGo crawlers index normally. Google Sites itself gives site owners limited control over schema.org JSON-LD on the parent page (because the parent HTML is generated by Google), so Google's own crawler may treat the JSON-LD as belonging to the iframe context rather than the parent URL. The widget still renders rich review content as visible text on the page, which contributes to topical relevance even when the structured-data signal is iframe-scoped.
