How can I add Google reviews to my Wix website?

Displaying Google reviews on your Wix website is an excellent way to build credibility and trust with potential customers. There are several effective methods to integrate your Google reviews seamlessly into your site.

Method 1: Using Wix App Market Apps

The simplest approach is to use dedicated apps from the Wix App Market. Apps like Google Reviews by OpenWidget and MyReviews allow you to:

  • Connect directly to your Google Business Profile
  • Automatically display your latest reviews
  • Customize the widget design to match your branding
  • Set up the integration without any coding required

Simply search for "Google Reviews" in the App Market, install your preferred app, connect your Google account, and configure the display settings.

Method 2: Third-Party Widget Services

Services like Elfsight, Wally, or Birdeye offer more advanced customization options:

  1. Find your business on Google Maps and copy the page URL
  2. Create an account with your chosen widget service
  3. Import your reviews by pasting your Google Maps URL
  4. Customize the widget's appearance, layout, and filters
  5. Generate the embed code
  6. In your Wix Editor, add an HTML Embed element
  7. Paste the generated code and save your changes

This method provides greater design flexibility and allows you to moderate which reviews appear on your site.

Method 3: Manual Google Maps Embed

For a more basic approach:

  1. Search for your business on Google Maps
  2. Select a specific review and click the three-dot menu
  3. Choose "Share review" and copy the embed code
  4. Add an Embed Code element in your Wix Editor
  5. Paste the HTML code where you want the review displayed

Note that this method requires manual updates and offers less design control.

Best Practices

  • Keep reviews current: Use apps or widgets that automatically update with new reviews
  • Match your branding: Customize colors, fonts, and layouts to maintain site consistency
  • Highlight positive feedback: Most services allow you to filter and showcase your best reviews
  • Respond to reviews: Engage with customer feedback on Google to maintain a strong profile

For most Wix users, the combination of ease-of-use and professional appearance makes Wix App Market solutions or established third-party widgets the best choice for displaying Google reviews in 2024.
