Embed Google reviews on any website

Google does not provide an official review widget for websites. GR Widget fills that gap with one script tag, one placeholder div, and automatic sync — for any CMS or hand-coded site.

One script tag, one placeholder div — works the same on every platform.

This is the step-by-step install guide for any website. For a broader overview of Google review widget types, benefits, and layout choice, read our Google review widget guide first.

  4. 4

    Enable Review structured data (JSON-LD)

The same five steps whether you hand-code your site or run it on a CMS.
<script src="https://grwidget.com/v1/grwidget.js" async defer></script>
<div class="grwidget-embed" data-grwidget-key="YOUR_WIDGET_KEY"></div>

On sites with multiple widgets, load the script once in your site header or footer, then use only the <div> block for each widget placement. Changes in your dashboard update live automatically — no need to touch the embed code again.

Create your free widget

The GR Widget embed code beside the place it is pasted in each platform — a WordPress Custom HTML block, a Wix code embed, a Shopify Custom Liquid section, and a hand-coded index.html — each rendering the same Google rating badge
Same script tag, same widget — the platform underneath does not matter.
