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 OpenTable on GoDaddy?

The only free way to put OpenTable reviews on your GoDaddy site — the official widget only takes reservations.

Shows Reviews, Not Just Reservations

OpenTable's official widget only books tables — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — pulls verified-diner reviews from your public OpenTable restaurant page automatically.

No Marketplace App Required

Pure HTML embed. No GoDaddy Online Marketplace install, no permission scopes, no recurring add-on fee. Works on every plan from Basic to Commerce Plus.

Built-in HTML Section Compatible

Drops straight into the HTML section that ships with modern GoDaddy Website Builder (GoCentral). Theme colors and fonts carry through naturally.

Verified Diners, Real Stars

Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — no drive-by reviews. The header shows your real 1–5 star average, no API key or restaurant-account login required.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on GoDaddy?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no marketplace install, no OpenTable API key.

Build your widget on this page

Use the BlooTrue builder on this page. Paste your OpenTable restaurant page URL (e.g. https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) and your real verified-diner reviews load automatically into the live preview.

No sign-up, no OpenTable API key, no restaurant-account login required.

Customize the Look

Pick one of 100+ styles (Slider, Marquee, Grid, List, Masonry, Badge, Compact Badge), choose light or dark theme, set your accent color, and toggle reviewer names / dates / profile images on or off.

Copy the Embed Code

Publish and copy the embed code. The embed is a single HTML snippet — no marketplace app install, no theme file edits.

Paste into GoDaddy Website Builder

Step 1: Open your GoDaddy Website Builder editor and go to the page where you want reviews.

Step 2: Click Add Section (or the + between two existing sections) and choose HTML from the section type list.

Step 3: Click the new HTML section to open its editor panel and paste the embed code into the Custom Code field.

Step 4: Click Done, then click Publish at the top of the editor.

Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours. Works the same on Basic, Premium, Commerce, and Commerce Plus plans.

OpenTable Review Widget for GoDaddy — Free, Shows the Reviews the Official Widget Can't

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for GoDaddy is a free, no-app embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any GoDaddy Website Builder site. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays reviews, so the verified-diner feedback that convinces people to book stays locked on your OpenTable restaurant page. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public OpenTable restaurant page and turning them into a paste-ready GoDaddy embed. Every review comes from a verified diner — someone who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — and the widget header shows your real 1–5 star OpenTable average, no conversion, no percentages. It works on every modern GoDaddy plan — Basic, Premium, Commerce, and Commerce Plus — because the install happens through the built-in HTML section that ships with GoDaddy Website Builder (the all-in- one DIY editor sometimes referred to internally as GoCentral, distinct from the legacy Website Builder 7 stack). No GoDaddy Online Marketplace install, no per-month fee, no OpenTable API key required. The pure HTML embed slots into the Custom Code field of an HTML section and works alongside GoDaddy's built-in design system, so theme colors and fonts carry through naturally. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe, so search engines and AI assistants can read the reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars.

Why doesn't OpenTable's widget show reviews?

OpenTable's official embed is built to do one thing: book tables. It does not display the diner reviews the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets dropped into GoDaddy's HTML section are the standard way GoDaddy restaurant sites surface their OpenTable reviews on their own page — BlooTrue is the free option in that category, and it keeps the trust signal intact: every review shown was written by a verified diner who actually ate at your restaurant.

About OpenTable reviews in this widget

Your OpenTable widget shows the diner reviews from your restaurant's OpenTable page, the one at opentable.com/r. The score heading the widget is the overall star rating and review count OpenTable reports for that page, rather than a number built from the cards. Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honoured the reservation, so nobody who did not sit down at your tables can post one. OpenTable's own website widget only takes reservations; pasting it in the hope of seeing diner reviews gets you a booking form, since OpenTable has no review embed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have the OpenTable reservation widget on my site, does it show reviews too?

No. OpenTable's reservation widget takes bookings and offers no way to show diner reviews. The BlooTrue widget is a separate one-line embed built from your opentable.com/r restaurant URL, showing the reviews diners left after honouring a reservation, with the OpenTable rating and review count in the header taken from your page.

Are OpenTable reviews worth embedding if diners can only review after a reservation?

Yes, because that rule is what sets OpenTable apart. OpenTable only opens the review form to a diner who honoured a reservation booked through OpenTable, so every card on your site comes from a person who ate at your restaurant on a known date. Sites that let anyone post cannot say that about their reviews.

How quickly does a new OpenTable review reach my website?

On a paid plan, by the next day: the widget refreshes from your OpenTable page every 24 hours, so a review written after last night's reservation appears the following day, and the BlooTrue badge is removed. On the free plan the diner reviews are the ones imported when you first published the widget; new ones do not arrive.

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for GoDaddy Website Builder?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for GoDaddy. No marketplace app, no recurring fee, unlimited widget views, and no credit card required to preview. The free plan shows your OpenTable reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does OpenTable offer its own review widget for GoDaddy?

No. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. Diner feedback stays on your OpenTable restaurant page. BlooTrue fills that gap — it pulls verified-diner reviews from any public OpenTable restaurant page and turns them into a paste-ready GoDaddy embed.

Do I need an OpenTable API key or developer access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — no OpenTable API key, no developer application, no restaurant-account login required. Just paste your opentable.com/r/your-restaurant URL into the BlooTrue builder and BlooTrue pulls your real verified-diner reviews from the public page.

Do I need a GoDaddy app or marketplace install to display OpenTable reviews?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed code that pastes directly into the built-in HTML section in GoDaddy Website Builder. There is no GoDaddy Online Marketplace install, no recurring add-on fee, and no permission scopes to approve.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on GoDaddy Website Builder?

Open your GoDaddy Website Builder editor, navigate to the page where you want reviews, then click Add Section (or the + button between two sections) and choose HTML. Click the new HTML section to open its editor panel, paste the embed code into the Custom Code field, click Done, then click Publish at the top of the editor. This is the modern GoDaddy Website Builder (GoCentral) flow — not the legacy Website Builder 7.

Will the widget slow down my GoDaddy site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. GoDaddy itself serves Website Builder pages through a global CDN, so the combined impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Does the widget work on every GoDaddy Website Builder plan?

Yes. BlooTrue works on every modern GoDaddy Website Builder plan — Basic, Premium, Commerce, and Commerce Plus — because the HTML section is available across all plans and the widget is pure HTML.
