Adding Google Reviews to Your Wix Website (Step-by-Step)

Wix is one of the most popular website builders for small businesses, and displaying Google reviews on it is more straightforward than most people think. Here's the complete guide covering both the built-in HTML element approach and the Wix App Market option.

Method 1: Wix HTML iFrame Element

The HTML embed element is Wix's built-in way to add third-party code to your site. It supports iFrame embeds and JavaScript.

Step-by-step:

1. Log in to your Wix account and open the Editor for your site
2. In the left panel, click the "+" (Add Elements) icon
3. Select "Embed Code" then "Embed a Widget"
4. An HTML box will appear on your canvas — click "Enter Code"
5. Paste your widget code. For a Laudy iFrame embed:

<iframe
  src="https://widget.laudy.com/iframe/YOUR_TOKEN"
  width="100%"
  height="500"
  frameborder="0"
  scrolling="no">
</iframe>

6. Click "Apply"
7. Drag and resize the HTML box on your canvas to fit the section
8. Click "Publish" to make it live

Important: Wix HTML elements display a placeholder ("HTML Code") in the editor. You won't see the actual widget until you Preview the site or publish it. Always preview before publishing to confirm the embed looks correct.

Method 2: Wix App Market

For a no-code option, the Wix App Market has several Google review apps.

Steps:

1. In the Wix Editor, click "Add Apps" in the left panel (or go to wix.com/app-market)
2. Search "Google Reviews"
3. Options you'll find: Kudobuzz Reviews, Trustindex, Social Reviews Widget
4. Select your preferred app and click "Add to Site"
5. Follow the app's connection wizard to link your Google Business Profile
6. Configure the display settings in the app's dashboard
7. The app will place a widget element on your page that you can position like any other Wix element

Pros: Easier setup, no code required, app handles updates automatically Cons: Adds another app subscription, less design control, some apps have Wix branding on the free tier

Manual Embed With Laudy's Widget Service

If you use Laudy, your widget code may be either a JavaScript snippet or iFrame. For Wix, iFrame is the more reliable format.

To get your iFrame URL from Laudy:

1. Go to your Laudy dashboard > Settings > Widget
2. Select "iFrame" as the embed type
3. Copy the iFrame URL
4. Use that URL in the code above

For JavaScript snippets in Wix HTML elements: JavaScript loading can sometimes be blocked or sandboxed by Wix's embed environment. If a JS snippet doesn't render properly, switch to the iFrame version.

Testing on Mobile View

Wix has a dedicated mobile editor, and your review widget may need separate adjustments for mobile.

To check mobile display:

1. In the Wix Editor, click the mobile icon (phone icon at the top)
2. This switches to the mobile editor view
3. Check whether the HTML embed element is visible and properly sized

Common mobile issues with embedded widgets in Wix:

• Widget too wide: Set the iFrame width to 100% (percentage, not pixels) in your embed code. Then resize the Wix HTML box to match your column width.
• Widget hidden in mobile view: Wix sometimes hides elements that were added in desktop view. In mobile editor, check if the HTML element is set to "Hidden on Mobile" and toggle it on if needed.
• Scroll bleed: If your iFrame has a fixed height but the content is taller, you'll see a scroll bar inside the iFrame. Adjust the height value in your iFrame code to accommodate your review count.

Using Wix Blocks for Custom Integrations

If you're a more advanced Wix user, Wix Blocks allows you to build custom widget components that can be reused across your site.

For review embedding, this is overkill for most businesses. But if you want a review display component that you can place consistently across multiple pages (homepage, services, contact), building it as a Wix Block once and reusing it saves time.

This requires a paid Wix plan and some familiarity with Wix's component system.

Common Issues and Fixes

Widget shows blank after publishing:

• Confirm your widget token/URL is correct
• Check that your Laudy account is active
• Try the iFrame version if JavaScript isn't rendering

Widget looks cut off:

• Increase the height of your HTML element on the Wix canvas
• Also increase the height attribute in your iFrame code to match

Reviews not updating automatically:

• iFrame widgets pull live data on page load. If you're seeing old data, check your Laudy dashboard to confirm new reviews are being synced

HTML element can't be found in mobile editor:

• Go to the mobile editor, click the element panel, and look for "Hidden Elements" — the HTML box may be hidden by default on mobile
