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 Yelp 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

How to Add Yelp Reviews to Next.js / React

Connect your Yelp profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the next/script component on Next.js / React and publish.

  1. 1

    In app/layout.tsx import Script from next/script and add the BlooTrue loader once inside the body, with strategy set to afterInteractive.

  2. 2

    Drop the widget div into any page or component where the reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Change class to className on that div — the snippet is HTML and JSX will not accept class.

  4. 4

    Deploy. The loader watches the DOM, so the widget survives client-side navigation too.

A raw <script> tag pasted into a component will not execute, which is what next/script is for — and the snippet's class attribute has to become className or React drops it.

Where the Code Goes on Next.js / React

In a Next.js app the snippet splits in two. The loader goes in once, in app/layout.tsx, as a next/script component with strategy set to afterInteractive so it survives client-side navigation.

The div goes wherever the reviews belong, in any page or component. The one edit the pasted code needs is class becoming className, because the snippet is HTML and JSX will not accept class. The widget takes the width of its parent element, so a max-width wrapper is the usual way to size it.

If the widget does not show on Next.js / React

  • If nothing renders, check the div uses className rather than class — React silently drops the class attribute and the loader then finds nothing to mount.
  • A raw script tag pasted straight into a component will not execute. Use next/script with strategy afterInteractive instead.
  • If the widget shows on a hard refresh but not after in-app navigation, the loader was placed in a page rather than in the layout. Move it to app/layout.tsx so it mounts once for the whole app.

Yelp Review Widget for Next.js / React — Free, No Plugin

Embed Yelp reviews on any Next.js / React page with a single copy-paste embed code. Show your Yelp rating where customers actually decide — on your own site. Installs via the next/script component.

Where Yelp reviews help most on Next.js / React

A custom site for a local business, or a brand with several branches, usually has a template per location page.

Render the Yelp widget for that location on its own page, near the address, the hours and the call button, so each branch shows its own reviews and its own score. One widget for the whole brand on every location page would show the same reviews everywhere and hide the real difference between branches. On the home page, a compact badge is enough. Add the widget to the location template once rather than page by page, and every new branch page picks it up when it goes live.

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.

Yelp Widget on Next.js / React — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Yelp review widget free for Next.js / React?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Yelp reviews on Next.js / React. 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 Next.js / React?
In app/layout.tsx import Script from next/script and add the BlooTrue loader once inside the body, with strategy set to afterInteractive. Drop the widget div into any page or component where the reviews should appear. Change class to className on that div — the snippet is HTML and JSX will not accept class. Deploy. The loader watches the DOM, so the widget survives client-side navigation too.
Anything specific to Next.js / React worth knowing before I embed?
A raw <script> tag pasted into a component will not execute, which is what next/script is for — and the snippet's class attribute has to become className or React drops it.
Where should I place Yelp reviews on Next.js / React for the biggest lift?
Under the hero on the landing page and beside the pricing CTA — on SaaS and agency sites the proof belongs at the decision point.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Yelp reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Next.js / React again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
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.
