on Wix in 2025

Display your Google reviews on your Wix website with beautiful widgets that automatically match your site's design. This complete guide shows you exactly how to embed Google reviews on Wix in under 5 minutes—no coding experience required.

Quick Answer:

You can embed Google reviews on Wix in two ways:

Before we dive into the installation steps, here's why displaying Google reviews on Wix is essential for your business:

  • Build instant trust — New visitors see real customer experiences immediately
  • Increase conversions by up to 270% — Reviews reduce purchase hesitation
  • Boost SEO rankings — Fresh review content signals authority to search engines
  • Save time — No manual updating—reviews sync automatically from Google

Before embedding Google reviews on your Wix website, make sure you have:

Can You Add Google Reviews to Wix for Free?

Yes! Method 1 above works on all Wix plans, including free accounts. However, if you want to show Google reviews in your Wix footer or across all pages, you'll need Method 2 below, which requires a Wix Premium plan.

Method 2: Using Custom Code (Site-Wide Placement)

Use this method if you want to display Google reviews on every page of your Wix site (for example, in your header or footer).

Requirements:

  • Wix Premium Plan (any paid plan)
  • Connected custom domain
  • Wix ads removed from your site

Steps to Add Custom Code:

  1. Complete Steps 1-3 from Method 1 above (design widget, connect business, copy code)
  2. In your Wix dashboard, go to Settings
  3. Click Custom Code under the Advanced section
  4. Click + Add Custom Code
  5. Paste your RevuKit embed code
  6. Name your code snippet (e.g., "Google Reviews Widget")
  7. Choose where to add the code:
    • All pages — displays on every page
    • Selected pages — choose specific pages
  8. Select placement location:
    • Head — loads early (not visible)
    • Body - start — top of page content
    • Body - end — bottom of page (recommended for widgets)
  9. Click Apply

Note: Custom Code widgets aren't visible in the Wix Editor preview. You must publish your site and view it live to see the reviews.

What's the Best Way to Show Google Reviews on Wix in 2025?

Where you place your Google reviews widget significantly impacts conversion rates. The best way to show Google reviews on Wix is to display them strategically across multiple high-traffic pages. Here are the most effective locations:

  • Homepage hero section — Build immediate trust above the fold
  • About page — Reinforce credibility with your brand story
  • Contact page — Encourage visitors to reach out after seeing reviews
  • Service/product pages — Reduce hesitation at decision points
  • Footer (all pages) — Consistent trust signals throughout the site

Customization Tips for Wix Sites

Make your Google reviews widget blend seamlessly with your Wix design:

Color Matching:

  • Use RevuKit's theme selector to match your Wix site's color palette
  • Extract exact color codes from your Wix theme settings
  • Apply your brand's primary color as the accent color

Border and Shadow:

  • Match border radius to your Wix buttons and cards (typically 4px, 8px, or 12px)
  • Use subtle shadows for modern Wix templates
  • Choose no shadow for minimalist designs

Layout Considerations:

  • For full-width sections, use grid or carousel widget styles
  • For sidebars or narrow columns, use badge or compact card styles
  • Ensure adequate padding around the widget element in Wix

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your Google reviews aren't displaying correctly on Wix, try these solutions:

Widget Not Showing:

  • Verify you copied the complete code (both <div> and <script> tags)
  • Check your Google Business Profile is public and has reviews
  • Ensure the Embed HTML element is large enough to display content
  • Clear browser cache and refresh in incognito mode
  • For Custom Code method, make sure your site is published and live

Styling Issues:

  • Widget colors may take 24-48 hours to fully adapt to your Wix theme
  • Adjust the Embed HTML element size if content appears cut off
  • Check for overlapping Wix elements blocking the widget
  • Use RevuKit's style customization options to override defaults

Mobile Display Problems:

  • RevuKit widgets are automatically mobile-responsive
  • Adjust the Embed HTML element size in Wix's mobile editor
  • Test on actual mobile devices, not just Wix's mobile preview
  • Consider using a more compact widget style for mobile

Performance and Speed:

  • RevuKit widgets load asynchronously and won't slow down your Wix site
  • Typical load time is under 2 seconds
  • Widget uses browser caching for faster repeat visits
  • Code is served from a CDN for optimal global performance

Wix Editor vs. Wix Studio vs. Wix ADI

The embedding process varies slightly depending on which Wix platform you're using:

Wix Editor (Classic):

  • Follow Method 1 above exactly as written
  • Add Elements → Embed Code → Embed HTML
  • Full drag-and-drop positioning control

Wix Studio (Advanced):

  • Process is identical to Wix Editor
  • Additional flexibility with responsive breakpoints
  • Better developer tools for advanced customization

Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence):

  • Limited embedding options—switch to Wix Editor for full control
  • You can transition your ADI site to Wix Editor without losing content
  • After switching, follow Method 1 instructions

Do Google Reviews Help Wix SEO?

Yes, displaying Google reviews on your Wix website can significantly boost your SEO performance in several ways:

  • Fresh content signals — Automatically updating reviews tell search engines your site is active
  • User-generated keywords — Reviews contain natural language customers use to find your business
  • Increased time on site — Visitors read reviews, reducing bounce rate
  • Social proof improves CTR — Higher click-through rates from search results signal quality to Google
  • Local SEO boost — Google reviews strengthen local search ranking factors

Adding Google reviews to your Wix site is one of the most effective SEO improvements you can make, especially for local businesses competing in geographic search results.
