- Is the BlooTrue Google review widget free for Lodgify?
- Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Google reviews on Lodgify. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
- How do I install the widget on Lodgify?
- In your Lodgify dashboard open Website then Pages, and pick the page you want. Click Add new widget and choose Raw HTML. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the field and click Save, then drag the widget where you want it. Click Publish website — the widget renders on the live site.
- Anything specific to Lodgify worth knowing before I embed?
- The widget does not render inside the Lodgify editor, only on the published site — click Publish website and open the live URL before deciding it did not work.
- Where should I place Google reviews on Lodgify for the biggest lift?
- Directly above the booking form on each property page, and under the hero on the home page — guest reviews carry the most weight at the moment someone picks dates.
- Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
- Paid plans auto-sync your Google reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Lodgify again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
- 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.
