Google Review Widget for iFrame — Universal Embed for Script-Restricted Environments
BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for iFrame is a free embed for environments that don't allow <script> tags — locked-down CMSes, intranet portals, email-style HTML, and any platform that strips JavaScript loaders. It's the universal escape hatch when the standard script embed is blocked. Common targets: locked-down enterprise CMSes that strip <script> tags as a security policy; email signature platforms (HubSpot, Apple Mail templates) where iframes sometimes survive but scripts almost never do; intranet portals like SharePoint and ServiceNow CMS where IT blocks third-party scripts; the old WordPress.com Free plan (which strips scripts); platforms with a "URL-only" embed slot like Notion, some wikis, and headless CMSes that whitelist by domain; and HTML newsletters where the recipient's email client strips scripts but preserves iframes (rare, but it exists).
How to embed Google reviews via iframe in 60 seconds
- Build your widget in the configurator above and click Get Embed Code below.
- Pull the widget ID out of the snippet — it's the part after
blootrue-widget-in the<div>class (e.g. inclass="blootrue-widget-abc123"the ID isabc123). - Replace the standard
<script>+<div>snippet with this iframe instead:<iframe src="https://api.blootrue.com/api/widgets/embed/YOUR_ID/render" style="border:0;width:100%;min-height:600px;" frameborder="0" title="Reviews"></iframe> - Paste the iframe wherever you can write raw HTML. Heads-up: iframe mode loses auto-resize, so set
min-heightgenerously (600–800px is typical).
Same renderer, different mount point
The iframe URL https://api.blootrue.com/api/widgets/embed/YOUR_ID/render is the same endpoint the standard <script> loader mounts internally. So iframe mode renders the exact same widget, just without the auto-resize and the script-driven mounting. Tradeoff: simpler integration, fixed height (you setmin-height manually). Visually pixel-identical to the script-embed output.
BlooTrue vs other Google review tools (iframe-direct mode)
Most Google review tools (Elfsight, Trustindex, Embed Social) only ship <script> snippets and don't publish a direct iframe URL. That means if your CMS strips scripts, those tools simply don't work. BlooTrue's iframe-direct mode means you can embed Google reviews on environments that flat-out reject scripts — SharePoint, ServiceNow, locked-down enterprise CMSes, WordPress.com Free, and so on.
