How to Embed Google Reviews on Your Wix Website

The fastest way to add live Google reviews to Wix: no Wix app, no third-party plugin. Just paste a code snippet and you are done.

April 2026 · 5 min read

Your Wix website is where you present your business. Your Google reviews are where potential customers build trust. Connecting them is simple — one code snippet.

Unlike Wix apps, which can be slow and require ongoing integration maintenance, WeWidget is a lightweight embed. Copy your code, paste it into a Wix HTML element, and your live Google reviews appear instantly.

Why embed Google reviews on Wix?

Visitors to your Wix site see your business on its best day — your carefully edited portfolio, your polished copy, your pricing. They do not see the unfiltered feedback from actual customers. That asymmetry makes them sceptical.

Google reviews fix that. A visitor who reads "5 stars, just finished our kitchen and it looks amazing" from a real person in their area is more likely to fill out your contact form than someone reading your homepage alone.

  • Live social proof. Reviews update automatically when new ones come in.
  • No Wix app dependency. Apps can be slower and require the developer to maintain integrations.
  • Controlled placement. You choose where the widget appears on your site — homepage, services page, footer, anywhere.

How to embed Google reviews on Wix in 3 steps

Step 1: Get your embed code from WeWidget

  1. Go to wewidget.app
  2. Sign up or log in (takes 2 minutes)
  3. Enter your Google Business Profile URL
  4. Choose your widget style (vertical cards, horizontal, badge, etc.)
  5. Copy the embed code — it looks like <script>...

Your embed code is yours to use forever — no monthly fees for the embed itself.

Step 2: Add an HTML widget to your Wix page

  1. In Wix Editor, click the page where you want the reviews to appear
  2. Click Add Elements (usually the + icon on the left)
  3. Scroll down and find Embed
  4. Click HTML iframe (not Custom Element or Embed)
  5. Place the widget where you want it on your page

Tip: A good place is below your main content, or in a dedicated "Social proof" or "Testimonials" section.

Step 3: Paste the WeWidget code

  1. In Wix, click the HTML widget you just added
  2. Click Edit Code (or the code icon)
  3. Clear the existing code and paste your WeWidget embed code
  4. Click Update

Refresh your page preview. Your Google reviews should appear within seconds.

Customisation options

WeWidget lets you control how your reviews appear on your Wix site:

1.

Widget style

Cards, horizontal scrolls, badges, mini cards — pick what fits your design.

2.

Number of reviews

Show your last 3, 5, 10, or all reviews.

3.

Colors and fonts

Adjust to match your Wix branding (with Pro plan).

4.

Refresh interval

Widget checks for new reviews every hour by default.

Troubleshooting

Widget is not showing

Check that you pasted the code into an HTML iframe element, not a text field. Also verify your Google Business Profile is public and has at least one review.

Reviews look cut off or overlapped

Adjust the height of your HTML widget in Wix. Click the widget, find the height control, and increase it until all reviews are visible. WeWidget will automatically size its width to match.

Getting an error message

Make sure you are using the complete code from WeWidget (do not edit or shorten it). If you still see errors, contact support@wewidget.app with a screenshot of your Wix editor.

Where to place reviews on your Wix site

The best placement depends on your business, but here are proven locations:

  • Homepage:Below your hero section, above the call-to-action. Visitors see proof before deciding to contact you.
  • Services/About page:Near the end, after describing what you offer. Reviews confirm your promises.
  • Contact page:Above the contact form. Hesitant visitors read reviews before reaching out.
  • Footer:A mini version (3–5 recent reviews) in the footer of every page. Passive but always visible.

Frequently asked questions

Can I embed my Google reviews on Wix without a third-party app?
Yes. Wix apps can be slow and require ongoing maintenance. WeWidget is a simple embed code — paste it into a Wix HTML widget and your reviews display instantly. No installation, no dependency on Wix marketplace updates.
Will the reviews update automatically if new ones come in?
Completely. WeWidget pulls your live Google reviews every time a visitor loads your site. If you get a new 5-star review on Google, it appears on your Wix site within seconds. You never need to refresh or re-embed anything.
Does the embedded widget look professional on Wix?
Yes. WeWidget is designed to fit any website, including Wix. Reviews display with star ratings, author names, dates, and review text — styled cleanly and responsively. On mobile, it reflows to a single column and remains fully readable.
Do I need a Wix premium plan to add custom HTML?
Yes. Wix free sites do not allow custom HTML or the HTML element. You need a paid Wix plan (Business or above). This is a Wix limitation, not a WeWidget one.
What happens if my Google Business Profile changes or my reviews are deleted?
The embed updates automatically. If a review is deleted from Google, it disappears from your Wix site instantly. If you add new reviews or update your profile picture, those changes reflect on your site in real time.
