SEO + AI schema · paid plans

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 Yelp on Magento?

The only free way to put Yelp reviews on a Magento storefront — Yelp only embeds one review at a time, and the Marketplace has no Yelp extension.

Your Whole Yelp Page, Not One Review

Yelp only embeds one review at a time. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go alternative — pulls reviews from your public Yelp page automatically.

Fills the Marketplace Gap Too

The Magento Marketplace has no meaningful Yelp review extension — and an extension would mean composer installs and upgrade re-validation anyway. BlooTrue is CMS content: zero code deployed.

Place It Anywhere via CMS Static Block

Content → Widgets → CMS Static Block drops the widget into any layout position — homepage, category pages, footer — without writing layout XML.

No Yelp API Key Required

Works with any public Yelp business profile. No Yelp Fusion application, no API quotas, no business-level claim required.

What makes a Yelp widget different from a Google review widget?

Yelp's review ecosystem has its own API rules, review filter, and attribution requirements. Knowing them up front avoids surprises after you embed.

Where the reviews and the Yelp rating come from

The star rating and review count in the widget header come from Yelp, exactly as Yelp publishes them for your listing. They are never averaged from the cards on your page. The cards are reviews from your public Yelp page, each credited to Yelp and linked back to your yelp.com/biz page. Paid plans refresh them every day; a free widget keeps the reviews from the day you built it.

Yelp's own options are narrower. The Embed review button on yelp.com puts one recommended review on your site at a time, and it is only on the desktop site. The Yelp Places API (formerly Fusion) returns up to three review excerpts of about 160 characters per business, and it is paid after a 30-day trial.

Yelp's recommendation software and your rating

Yelp's software sorts every review automatically. Yelp says about three quarters of reviews are recommended. The rest sit under “not currently recommended” at the bottom of your Yelp page and do not count toward your star rating or review count. Because the widget header uses Yelp's own rating and count, those reviews never move it. The sorting is automated and Yelp says no employee can override it, so a review can move in or out of the recommended set over time.

Yelp asks businesses not to ask for reviews

Yelp's rule is plain: “Don't ask anyone to review your business.” That covers customers, mailing lists, friends and family, so review-request emails and signs pointing at Yelp work against you there. A widget fits inside the rule: it shows the Yelp reviews you already have and asks nobody for one. If you want to ask customers for reviews, ask on platforms that allow it, such as Google.

Yelp display compliance: logo, star icon, attribution

Yelp's display guidelines require that any third-party widget (a) display the Yelp logo or wordmark on each review card or in the widget header, (b) use Yelp's official red star icon for ratings rather than a substitute, and (c) link each review back to its source URL on yelp.com. BlooTrue handles all three automatically — you don't need to add anything to your embed code. Removing the Yelp logo or replacing the star icon (e.g. with a gold star to match your brand) violates Yelp's terms, so the widget doesn't expose those as customizable. If you need full visual control, use the BlooTrue Google widget instead, which has no such third-party constraints.

Yelp tips for Magento

Use a CMS Static Block so the same Yelp widget can be placed into multiple layout positions without duplicating code.
Remember to flush the Magento cache (System → Cache Management) after saving — the widget will not appear until you do.
No marketplace extension or Composer install is needed, so the widget survives Magento / Adobe Commerce version upgrades untouched.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Yelp on Magento?

Four steps: create the block, paste the HTML, place it, flush the cache.

Open Content → Blocks (or Pages) in the Magento Admin

Log into your Magento / Adobe Commerce admin and open Content → Blocks. Click Add New Block for a reusable block — or open Content → Pages and edit a CMS page if you only need the widget on one page.

Works identically on Magento 2.x Open Source and Adobe Commerce, including Adobe Commerce Cloud.

Paste the Embed as Raw HTML

In the content editor, click Show / Hide Editor to switch the WYSIWYG into raw-HTML mode, then paste the BlooTrue Yelp embed code.

Using Page Builder? Drag an HTML Code element into your layout, click its Edit (gear) button, and paste the embed there instead.

Place the Block via Content → Widgets

For CMS Blocks: open Content → Widgets, click Add Widget, choose type CMS Static Block, pick your theme, and assign the block to a layout position — for example Main Content Bottom on the homepage or a category-page sidebar.

CMS Pages skip this step — they publish directly when you click Save.

Flush the Cache (Do Not Skip This)

Open System → Cache Management and flush the invalidated cache types — or run bin/magento cache:flush. Magento's full-page cache keeps serving the pre-widget version of the page until you do. Purge Varnish / Fastly too if they front the store.

One-time step. Reviews auto-sync from Yelp every 24 hours afterward — no further flushes needed.

Yelp Review Widget for Magento — Free, the Only Practical Path

BlooTrue's Yelp Review Widget for Magento is a free, extension-free embed that displays your Yelp reviews on any Magento 2.x or Adobe Commerce storefront. There's a double gap to bridge: Yelp only embeds one review at a time, and the Magento Marketplace has no meaningful Yelp review extension either. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a pure HTML embed pasted into a CMS Block or CMS Page via the Show / Hide Editor raw-HTML toggle, or a Page Builder HTML Code element. Blocks slot into any layout position through Content → Widgets → CMS Static Block — homepage, category pages, footer. No composer install, no deploy, nothing to re-validate on the next Magento upgrade, and it works on Adobe Commerce Cloud out of the box. The one Magento-only step: flush the full-page cache afterward via System → Cache Management, or the cached page keeps serving the pre-widget version. Magento skews to North American retail and service businesses with physical locations — exactly where Yelp's review footprint is strongest, which makes the pairing unusually effective. Six widget styles, light and dark themes. 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 isn't Yelp's own embed enough?

Yelp's own Embed review button puts one review on a page at a time, and Yelp publishes no widget for a whole business page. For Magento stores the gap is doubled — the Magento Marketplace has no meaningful Yelp review extension. Third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the canonical way to surface Yelp reviews on a Magento storefront.

About Yelp reviews in this widget

The Yelp widget puts your Yelp business page's recommended reviews on your site, with the star rating and count Yelp publishes for that page at the top. Yelp's recommendation software sorts every incoming review, and the ones it files as not recommended sit in a separate section at the bottom of your Yelp page, outside the public rating, so they never move your widget's number. Each card is credited to Yelp and links back to your yelp.com/biz page. A common mistake is pasting Yelp's own embed code, which shows one review in an iframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

A customer left me a Yelp review but it is not in my widget, why?

First check whether Yelp filed it under 'not recommended' at the bottom of your Yelp page. Yelp's recommendation software keeps those reviews out of the public rating, and the widget follows the listing as Yelp shows it. On the free plan, a review posted after you built the widget waits until a paid plan refreshes it daily.

Why not just use Yelp's own embed code?

Because it shows one review. The Embed review button on the desktop yelp.com puts a single recommended review on your page. The widget shows many at once, with Yelp's own star rating and review count in the header and each card linked back to your listing at yelp.com/biz/your-business.

Will a Yelp review widget give me star snippets in Google results?

No. The Yelp widget deliberately adds no review schema markup, and since July 2026 Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself through a widget. You still get the reviews on your pages with Yelp's rating and count in the header; you do not get star snippets from this source.

Does Yelp offer its own embed widget or Magento extension?

No on both counts. Yelp only embeds one review at a time. And the Magento Marketplace has no meaningful Yelp review extension either. BlooTrue fills both gaps with a free HTML embed pasted into a CMS Block or Page Builder element.

Do I need a Magento extension to display Yelp reviews?

No. BlooTrue is a pure HTML embed pasted into a CMS Block or CMS Page — no Marketplace extension, no composer require, no setup:upgrade, no deploy. The embed lives in CMS content in your database, so it survives Magento upgrades and Adobe Commerce Cloud deploys untouched.

Do I need a Yelp API key or Yelp Fusion access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Yelp business profile — no Yelp API key, no Yelp Fusion application, no business-level claim required.

Does this work on Adobe Commerce and Adobe Commerce Cloud?

Yes. Adobe Commerce shares the same admin — Content → Blocks, Pages, Page Builder, and Widgets all work identically. On Adobe Commerce Cloud there is nothing extra to deploy: the embed is CMS content stored in the database.

I saved the block but the Yelp widget isn't showing — why?

Almost always Magento's full-page cache. Open System → Cache Management and flush the invalidated caches (or run bin/magento cache:flush). Purge Varnish / Fastly too if they front the store. One-time step — new reviews sync through the embed script, no further flushes needed.

Where exactly do I paste the embed code in the Magento admin?

Classic WYSIWYG: Content → Blocks (or Pages), click Show / Hide Editor to switch to raw HTML, and paste. Page Builder: drag an HTML Code element into your layout and paste there. For blocks, finish via Content → Widgets → CMS Static Block to assign a layout position.

Will the widget slow down my Magento store?

No. The widget loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, reviews are served from a CDN cache, and it adds zero PHP execution to your server — full-page-cached pages stay fully cacheable. Typical LCP impact is under 50ms.
