- Is the BlooTrue OpenTable review widget free for Strikingly?
- Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed OpenTable reviews on Strikingly. 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 Strikingly?
- Open your site in the Strikingly editor. Add a section and choose App Store & HTML. Select the HTML app and paste the BlooTrue embed code. Save and publish — the widget renders on the live one-page site. Custom HTML requires Strikingly Pro or higher.
- Anything specific to Strikingly worth knowing before I embed?
- Custom HTML sections on Strikingly require a paid plan (Pro and up) — the section won't render on the free tier.
- Where should I place OpenTable reviews on Strikingly for the biggest lift?
- One-page sites live or die on a single scroll — put the review strip directly under the hero so proof lands before the pitch.
- Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
- Paid plans auto-sync your OpenTable reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Strikingly again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
- 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.
