To customize the review widget, follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to "Business App" > "Reputation AI" > "Reviews" > "Review Widget."
Step 2: The Review Widget interface will appear.
Step 3: Select "Sources" for the review sources you would like to request reviews for and those you want displayed on your website. Users can request and display reviews from Google, Facebook, and My Listings if Local SEO is activated. Users can only select one source to request reviews from on the Review Widget, whereas all sources can be displayed.
Step 4: Select "Reviews" to configure the reviews displayed on the review widget by star rating and the rating format with one or two decimal points.
Step 5: The "feed layout" is the default layout for the Review Widget, for users who want to customize the layout, select "layout" and choose from either the carousel or badge with new configurations with the purchase of Review Widget Pro.
Step 6: Select "Style" to change the appearance of the Review Widget from light to dark or adjust the accent colour to match the website's styling.
Step 7: Once you have configured the Review Widget, select "Save" and "Add to Website" to copy and paste the HTML code into the website's body element. If you change the sources, layout or styling after the HTML code has been installed on the website, you only have to press save to push those updates to the live widget.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove specific reviews from the widget?
In the widget settings, you can often filter by star rating (e.g., "only show 4 and 5 stars") to prevent negative reviews from displaying on your site.
Will the widget slow down my website?
The widget is designed to be lightweight and load asynchronously, meaning it should not significantly impact your page load speeds.
Does the widget update automatically when I get new reviews?
Yes. As long as the widget code is installed, it will pull in new reviews that meet your display criteria (e.g., 5-star Google reviews) automatically.
