Free Google Reviews Widget for Your Website
Embed your real Google reviews on any website with one copy-paste line of code.
Choose from 6 layouts — carousel, grid, masonry, list, slider, and badge. Works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and plain HTML. Reviews update automatically every day — set it once and forget it. And unlike a script-only widget, your reviews go into the page as real text, so ChatGPT and Perplexity can read them.

Can ChatGPT See the Reviews on Your Website?
Only if the reviews are in your page's HTML. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot don't run JavaScript, so a review widget that builds itself after the page loads is an empty box to them. This one writes your review text into the page as plain HTML, then swaps in the live widget for visitors. People and assistants both read it.
What an AI assistant actually reads on your page
A JavaScript-only widget
<div id="reviews-widget"></div>
<script src="widget.js"></script>That is the entire reviews section, as far as an assistant is concerned. No stars, no words, no proof that anyone was happy.
This widget
<blockquote>
<p>Fast, on site within half an hour
of my call. A real human answered
the phone. Highly recommend.</p>
<cite>Mike P. — 5 out of 5 on Google</cite>
</blockquote>Your real reviews, in the page, readable without JavaScript. The live widget replaces them the moment a visitor loads the page.
Why that costs you something
When someone asks an assistant for a business like yours nearby, the answer is built from what it can read, and the biggest thing it can read about you is your own website. Around 44% of the sources cited about local businesses are the business's own site. If your reviews are locked inside a script, an assistant reads a page that says what you sell and nothing about how it went for anyone, then describes you in the same flat terms as the business down the road.
Your reviews are the only words on your site you didn't write yourself. That is exactly what an assistant quotes.
Google is the exception worth knowing: Googlebot runs JavaScript, so it can read either kind. This is about the assistants that don't.
How to Add Google Reviews to Your Website
The same embed code works everywhere HTML is allowed. Generate it above, then paste it where you want reviews to appear.
Add Google Reviews to WordPress
In the block editor, add a Custom HTML block where you want the reviews, paste the embed code, and publish — nothing to install. Want your reviews readable by AI search engines too? Our free Google Reviews WordPress plugin writes them into the page itself.
Get the free plugin on WordPress.org →Add Google Reviews to Squarespace or Wix
Add an Embed HTML element (Wix) or a Code block (Squarespace), paste the code, and save. The widget sizes itself to fit the container.
Add Google Reviews to Shopify
Add a Custom Liquid section (or edit your theme template) and paste the embed code. Great on the homepage or product pages where trust matters most.
Any other site
Webflow, GoDaddy, Framer, or hand-written HTML — paste the script tag wherever you want the widget. It loads asynchronously, so it never slows your page down.
Why Show Google Reviews on Your Website?
Displaying Google reviews on your website puts your strongest trust signal — real customers, real stars, verified by Google — in front of visitors at the moment they're deciding whether to contact you. Instead of hoping visitors check your Google listing, the proof is on the page.
Borrowed trust
Visitors trust Google's stars more than testimonials you typed yourself. The widget shows the real thing, pulled live from your profile.
A review flywheel
The built-in “Review us on Google” button turns website visitors into new reviewers — the widget both displays reviews and collects them.
Fresh content, zero work
Every new review adds fresh, keyword-rich customer language to your pages automatically. Set it once and it stays current.
Everything is free — all layouts, themes, and updates, forever. The small “Reviews widget by ReplyOnTheFly” badge is removed automatically for businesses on Review Replies Pro.
Showing Reviews is Half the Job. Answering Them is the Other Half.
Every review on your widget deserves a response — it's a local SEO ranking factor. ReplyOnTheFly emails you AI-written replies for every new Google review. One tap to approve, no login needed.
Free forever plan available. No credit card required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about embedding Google reviews on your website.
How do I embed Google reviews on my website?
Search for your business above, pick a layout (carousel, grid, masonry, list, slider, or badge), and copy the one-line embed code. Paste it anywhere HTML is allowed — a WordPress Custom HTML block, Wix or Squarespace embed element, Shopify custom liquid, or your own site’s HTML. Your Google reviews appear instantly and update automatically.
Is the Google reviews widget really free?
Yes. Every layout, theme, and option is free forever with no signup, no trial, and no review limits. The widget shows a small "Reviews widget by ReplyOnTheFly" badge; the badge is removed automatically for businesses on the Review Replies Pro plan.
Do I need a Google reviews plugin for WordPress?
You don’t need one — paste the embed code into a Custom HTML block and you are done. But if you want your reviews readable by AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity (which don’t run JavaScript), our free WordPress plugin, ReplyOnTheFly Widget for Google Reviews, writes the review text into your page itself and keeps it fresh automatically. Details at replyonthefly.com/google-reviews-wordpress-plugin.
Does the widget work with WordPress?
Yes, two ways. Paste the embed code into a "Custom HTML" block — that works on every theme with nothing to install. Or install our free WordPress plugin, which additionally writes the review text into your page so search engines and AI assistants can read it. Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, and GoDaddy all use the same paste-the-code approach.
How many reviews does the widget show?
Widgets for unconnected businesses show five reviews — that is every review Google shares through its public Places API, chosen by Google’s own "most relevant" ranking (not ours to control). Connect your Google Business Profile with a free ReplyOnTheFly account and the widget unlocks your full review history: up to 50 reviews at a time, newest-first or best-first, refreshed within minutes of a new review.
Can I show more reviews, sort them, or filter them by keyword?
Yes, free. The 5-review limit and Google-chosen selection are Google’s public API restrictions, not ours — connecting your Google Business Profile with a free account switches the widget to your complete synced review library. You can then show up to 50 reviews, order them newest-first or best-first, and filter by keywords (one or several, comma-separated): a restaurant’s brunch page can show only reviews mentioning brunch, a dentist’s implant page only implant reviews.
Will the widget slow down my website?
No. It is a single lightweight script (about 8 KB) that loads asynchronously after your content, and review data is served from an edge cache. It has no dependencies and will not block your page from rendering.
Do the reviews update automatically?
Yes. Review data is refreshed from Google roughly every 24 hours, so new reviews and rating changes show up on your site without you touching anything.
Can I show only my 4 and 5 star reviews?
Yes — there is a minimum-rating option. That said, showing all reviews often converts better: visitors trust a 4.7 with a few critical reviews more than a suspiciously perfect wall of 5 stars.
Do I need a Google Business Profile to use this?
Yes. The widget pulls reviews from your Google Business Profile listing. If you don’t have one yet, you can create a free listing at business.google.com.
Can ChatGPT and other AI assistants read the reviews on my website?
Only if the review text is in your page’s HTML. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot don’t run JavaScript, so a widget that builds itself after the page loads is an empty box to them — they read a page that says what you sell with nothing showing that anyone was happy about it. This embed writes your review text into the page as plain HTML and the live widget replaces it when a visitor loads the page, so both can read it. Google is the exception: Googlebot runs JavaScript, so it reads either kind.
Does the AI-readable part work on Wix and Google Sites?
The widget itself works on both, but the AI-readable part doesn’t. Wix’s HTML element and Google Sites’ embed block put anything you paste inside a separate sandboxed frame, so the review text never becomes part of your own page and a crawler can’t credit it to your site. WordPress, Squarespace code blocks, Shopify, Webflow and plain HTML all place the text directly in your page, where it counts. On WordPress our free plugin also refreshes that text automatically instead of it being a snapshot from the day you pasted it.
