- Is the BlooTrue Yelp review widget free for Teachable?
- Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Yelp reviews on Teachable. 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 Teachable?
- Open the page in the Teachable page editor (Site → Pages). Add a block and choose Custom HTML where the reviews should appear. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the block. Save and publish — the widget renders on your school page. Custom code blocks require a paid Teachable plan.
- Anything specific to Teachable worth knowing before I embed?
- Custom HTML renders on the published school page; the editor may show the raw block while editing.
- Where should I place Yelp reviews on Teachable for the biggest lift?
- Course sales pages under the course title and near the enroll button — student proof at the enrollment decision.
- 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 Teachable 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.
- Does Yelp allow me to display its reviews on my own site?
- Yes, when the reviews are fetched through the Yelp Fusion API and credited to Yelp. BlooTrue uses that API, puts the Yelp mark on each card and links every review back to your listing at yelp.com/biz/your-business. The star rating in the header is Yelp's own figure for the listing, not one derived from the cards.
- Will a Yelp review widget give me star snippets in Google results?
- No. Yelp's API terms restrict using Yelp's aggregate review data to power schema.org AggregateRating markup on a different domain, so the Yelp widget deliberately emits no JSON-LD for search engines. 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.
