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 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

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 Wix

  • Wix's HTML Embed element supports the Yelp widget without any code editing — paste the snippet directly into the element.
  • If you have a multi-location business listed separately on Yelp, embed a Yelp widget per location using Wix's page-level dynamic content.
  • The Yelp star icon will inherit your Wix theme background — manually set the widget container background to white if your theme uses a dark color.

BlooTrue's Yelp Review Widget for Wix is a free, app-free embed that displays Yelp reviews on any Wix site. It uses the native Wix HTML Embed element, requires no Velo code, and works on the free Wix plan through every Premium tier. Unlimited views. Works with any public Yelp business profile — no paid Yelp subscription required.

Does BlooTrue work on the free Wix plan?

Yes. The HTML Embed element is available on every Wix plan — including free. No upgrade needed to embed the widget.

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.

Is the BlooTrue Yelp widget free for Wix?

Yes. BlooTrue is free for Wix, including the free Wix plan. Unlimited views with no caps. The free plan shows Yelp reviews with BlooTrue branding.

Do I need a paid Yelp subscription to embed reviews on Wix?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Yelp business profile. No paid Yelp advertising or Yelp Business subscription needed.

Do I need a Wix app to install BlooTrue?

No. BlooTrue uses the native Wix HTML Embed / HTML iframe element — no Wix App Market install, no Velo code, no recurring app fees.

Will BlooTrue slow down my Wix site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously and is under 20KB. Typical impact on Wix page performance is under 50ms.

Does BlooTrue work on the free Wix plan?

Yes. The HTML Embed element is available on every Wix plan — including free. No upgrade needed.

Does it work with Wix Studio and Editor X?

Yes. Wix Studio and Editor X both include the HTML Embed / Custom Embeds element. The install flow is identical.
