How to Add Google Reviews to Wix: Widget and Embed Guide

01What you need

Prepare the correct business listing, a public widget embed code and permission to edit the Wix site. Choose a simple badge for tight spaces or a review carousel for a larger section. Review whether your particular Wix editor supports the intended HTML or script embedding approach.

02Add a widget using Embed HTML

Open the Wix editor, add an Embed Code element and select the HTML embed option. Paste the widget code if that embed context supports it. Resize the element so the review cards are visible, then preview and publish. Wix embeds can run in isolated frames, so automatic height changes may require a supported iframe implementation.

• Confirm the business and review source are correct.
• Configure a layout that fits the page.
• Paste the public embed into a supported website element.
• Preview the published page on desktop and mobile.
• Verify attribution, source links and accessibility.

03If the widget is clipped

Increase the embed element height and test the mobile layout independently. Some iframe containers do not resize automatically when their contents change. Avoid placing a multi-card carousel inside a narrow fixed-height box.

04Best placement on a Wix site

On a homepage, position reviews below a clear explanation of the service. On a contact page, use a compact rating badge near the enquiry form. On a service-specific page, include context around why the review matters, rather than displaying stars without explanation.

05Attribution and authenticity

Keep the Google Maps attribution and author details required by the actual data source. Do not manually change ratings or imply all displayed reviews are representative if only selected high ratings are shown. Link to the original business listing where supported.

06Mobile checklist

Check the live published URL on iPhone and Android-sized screens, not only Wix desktop preview. Confirm the carousel can be operated by touch and keyboard, the floating widget does not block navigation and the review link opens correctly.

07Common Wix questions

You generally do not need to move your website to use a hosted widget. Some Wix plans or editor configurations limit custom scripts. If the script is blocked, use a supported iframe or a simple linked rating badge rather than an unverified workaround.

08Sizing the embed so nothing gets cut off

The most common Wix complaint is a widget that appears with a scroll bar or a cropped bottom edge. Wix's Embed HTML element is a fixed-size box, so it needs enough room for the layout you chose.

09A worked example: a Limerick florist

Take an illustrative florist in Limerick with a Wix site and around 90 Google reviews, mostly about wedding and funeral flowers. Visitors often arrive at a sensitive moment and want reassurance quickly.

1. 1

   Home page

   A carousel sits under the main banner with the heading "Reviews from Limerick customers on Google".

2. 2

   Weddings page

   A short list of reviews appears beside the enquiry form; the owner picks a layout that shows the most recent reviews rather than hand-choosing only glowing ones.

3. 3

   Sympathy flowers page

   A simple rating badge, keeping the page calm and uncluttered.

10Collecting more reviews from a Wix site's customers

A widget only looks convincing when reviews keep arriving. Ask customers soon after delivery or collection, using the channel they already use with you.

Hi Claire, it's Orla from Petal & Stem. I hope the flowers arrived safely today. If you have a moment, we'd really appreciate your honest feedback on Google: [review link]. Thank you!

• Add a QR code card to every bouquet or order.
• Include the review link in your order confirmation follow-up.
• Put a small "Review us on Google" link in your site footer.

11Before you publish

• Preview on desktop and in Wix's mobile view.
• Check the widget isn't overlapping other elements when the page resizes.
• Publish, then test the live site in a private window.
• Make sure reviews are attributed to Google and link back.
• Re-check after any Wix template change.
