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 OpenTable 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

The same widget, built from whichever platform your reviews live on. Free plan on every one.

How to Add OpenTable Reviews to Strikingly

One embed code, pasted into the App Store & HTML section. Custom HTML requires Strikingly Pro or higher.

  1. 1

    Open your site in the Strikingly editor.

  2. 2

    Add a section and choose App Store & HTML.

  3. 3

    Select the HTML app and paste the BlooTrue embed code.

  4. 4

    Save and publish — the widget renders on the live one-page site.

Custom HTML sections on Strikingly require a paid plan (Pro and up) — the section won't render on the free tier.

Where the Code Goes on Strikingly

Strikingly keeps custom embeds in an App Store & HTML section rather than a text block. Add the section, pick the HTML app, and paste the embed into its code field. The section spans the full width of the one-page layout and takes its height from the widget; the editor may show the rendered reviews or a blank block depending on the script, so confirm on the published page. Strikingly builds the site menu from section titles, so titling the section Reviews adds a menu link to it. Put it right under the hero so proof lands before the pitch.

If the widget does not show on Strikingly

  • If the App Store & HTML section shows nothing on the free tier, that is the plan limit. Custom HTML renders only on Pro and up.
  • An empty section after publishing often means the code was pasted into a text block. Use the HTML app inside App Store & HTML instead.
  • If the reviews do not show after saving, click Publish. Strikingly keeps saved edits offline until you publish, so the live site shows the old section.

Where OpenTable reviews help most on Strikingly

A restaurant site on Strikingly usually has four pages that matter: home, menu, reservations and private events. The reservations page is where the OpenTable widget works hardest, above the booking button or the embedded reservation form, because that is where a first-time diner makes the call. The home page can carry a compact version under the opening hours. On the menu page, keep it small or leave it off; people reading the menu have mostly decided to come and are choosing dishes. Diner reviews from OpenTable mention service, food and atmosphere, which is exactly what someone picking a place for a birthday or an anniversary wants to read.

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.

OpenTable Widget on Strikingly — FAQ

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.
