Step 2 – Customize the Review Widget to Match Your Brand

There are plenty of customization options available that you can use to modify your Google reviews widget. Here are just a few widget templates you can use. 

With Trustmary, you can further customize:

• Colors and font
• Reviews shown
• Placement (in-page or popup)
• Triggers to show a popup widget

Popups are a great way to catch the attention of potential customers that are either scrolling for a longer period of time or going to a very specific page, such as pricing or services page.

In-page widgets are ideal for showcasing reviews on your Wix site. Here is one example of an in-page Google reviews widget.

Step 3 – Embed Google Reviews to Wix

After you have created your widget, it is time to get the embed code and actually add the reviews to Wix website.

1. Copy Embed Code

In the widget editor, click the Add to website button which opens up a drawer. From there, copy the code snippet with the Copy script button.

2. Navigate to Wix Dashboard

Log into your Wix account.

Once in the editor, click on the plus icon in the toolbar on the left, or any other plus icon on your website’s preview. 

3. Click on the Embed Category

Locate Embed Code in the sub-menu. From there, select Embed HTML to open the HTML element into which the embed code can be pasted.

4. Click Enter Code

This opens up the element’s settings and a text box, into which you can paste the embed code you copied before.

Pro tip: Remember to resize the element to your liking, as Wix website doesn’t allow widgets to resize themselves. In other words, resize the Google reviews widget to look exactly as you want it to look in terms of height and width.

Next click Update to save the element.

Now you should have a working Google reviews widget on your website!

Step 4 – Import All Other Reviews 

In case you have positive reviews across many third-party sites, we highly encourage you to import them to Trustmary as well. They can be used in the same reviews widget as the Google reviews.

We currently support importing from:

• Facebook
• Yelp
• Tripadvisor
• Capterra
• G2
