The only 3 ways to embed Google reviews on your Wix website

Sarah spends hours researching a new yoga studio. Two studios have beautiful websites showcasing spacious spaces and qualified instructors. But then Sarah sees it – glowing Google reviews on Studio Zen’s website, raving about calming classes and supportive instructors. Suddenly, her decision is clear. 

A recent Birdeye survey of over 150,000+ of its customers confirms this trend – online reviews are booming, with Google leading the pack. The study shows a 5% jump in reviews in 2023, with businesses averaging 66 new Google reviews! 

Don’t let your business miss out on this trust-building power. Here’s how to easily embed Google reviews on your Wix website. 

Way 1: Embed Google reviews on your Wix website using the Wix App Market

The Wix App Market offers dedicated apps like “Google Reviews PRO” that streamline the process. These apps often provide additional features like:

• Easily connect your Google Business Profile with the app for seamless review import.
• Gain access to a wider range of design options to create visually appealing review widgets.

While free widget services offer a basic solution, Wix apps might be preferable if you desire a more feature-rich experience and a smoother integration process.

Way 2: Use Birdeye to embed your Google reviews on your Wix website

Another way to embed your Google reviews is to use Birdeye. It offers a user-friendly way as an alternative to plugins or manual coding. 

Here’s how to do this, but you have to have two prerequisites: 

• A Birdeye account with an active subscription plan.
• A verified Google Business Profile listing.

2. Choose the badge shape (square, round, or rectangle).
