Google Review Widget for Notion — Free, CodePen / JSBin Workaround

BlooTrue's Google Review Widget for Notion is a free embed for any public Notion page — works around Notion's URL-only /embed block via a free CodePen / JSBin intermediary. Notion's native /embed block only accepts URLs, not raw HTML or JavaScript, because Notion is a docs/wiki tool rather than a website CMS in the conventional sense. The well-documented community workaround is to paste the BlooTrue embed snippet into a free CodePen pen (or JSBin), save it, copy the pen's full-page URL (the /full/ view, not the editor), then in Notion type /embed and paste that URL. Notion renders the CodePen full page inside an iframe, and the BlooTrue widget renders inside the iframe with your real Google reviews. The free Notion plan supports this — no paid Notion subscription is required. Notion's “Share to web” feature lets you publish the page as a public read-only URL, and third-party publishers like Super, Potion, and Fruition turn a Notion page into a standalone website with custom domain support — the embedded widget renders identically on all of them. SEO note: Notion's own pages don't expose JSON-LD to search engines at the page level, so the embed itself emits schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its iframe — Bing and DuckDuckGo pick this up reliably, and Super / Potion sites surface it at the page level via their own meta-tag layer.

How to embed Google reviews on Notion in 60 seconds

1. Search your business in the configurator above (or paste your Google Maps share link).
2. Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
3. Click Copy Code to get the one-line HTML embed.
4. Open codepen.io, create a new pen, paste the embed code into the HTML tab, save, then copy the pen's full-page URL(looks like codepen.io/your-name/full/abc123) — not the editor URL.
5. In your Notion page, type /embed, paste the CodePen URL, click Embed link, and drag the corners to resize.
6. Save — your Google reviews are live on Notion.

Why is the CodePen workaround necessary?

Notion's /embed block is URL-only by design. It does not run arbitrary HTML or JavaScript. The CodePen intermediary serves your snippet at a public URL, which Notion can then load inside its iframe. JSBin, Glitch, Replit, and GitHub Pages all work the same way — CodePen is just the most popular pick for review-widget embeds because it's free, instant, and well known across the Notion / Reddit / Stack Overflow community.

Notion vs traditional CMS for Google reviews

Notion has no app marketplace for Google review widgets, no native Google Business integration, and no plugin layer. The CodePen workaround is the only practical way to embed live Google reviews on a Notion page — BlooTrue gives you the working snippet. For solo creators, agencies, freelancers, and side-projects publishing portfolio pages or simple websites via Notion, this is the canonical path.
