Add Google reviews to WordPress

Show your Google reviews on a WordPress page or post: find your business in the builder, then paste one snippet into a Custom HTML block.

The builder is ReTestimonial's. You need a free account there to get the code.

Before you start

What WordPress asks for.

On a site you host yourself, you need to be an Administrator or an Editor. On a multisite network, only a Super Admin can do it. WordPress removes the script from the snippet when anyone else saves the page.
On WordPress.com, you need a paid plan with hosting features switched on. WordPress.com says installing any one plugin switches them on. Until then it removes the script, so paste the snippet again afterwards.

Add the reviews to WordPress

Steps last checked on 3 October 2026.

1
Find your business in the builder above, choose how the widget looks, create the free account and copy the snippet.
2
Open the page or post in the editor.
3
Click the Block Inserter (+) where the widget should appear and add a Custom HTML block. Typing /html in a new paragraph does the same.
4
Click Edit HTML and paste the whole snippet into the HTML tab. The script line belongs there too, not under JavaScript.
5
Click Update, then save or publish the page as usual.

What to expect

The editor shows an empty block where the widget will be. The widget appears on the page itself: use Preview, or open the published page.
The test site ran a caching plugin, and the widget still loaded for a visitor who was not logged in. If your plugin is set to hold scripts back until the visitor scrolls or taps, the widget will appear at that moment.

Google reviews on WordPress: what works

No plugin to keep up to date
The widget is one block of HTML. There is nothing to install and nothing to update. The block works the same in a page and in a post.
Let the right person paste it
WordPress removes the script from the snippet when someone without the role named under “Before you start” saves the page, and the widget then shows nothing. If that happens, have someone with that role paste the snippet again.
Look at the published page, not the editor
The editor shows an empty block. Use Preview to see the reviews, and check once in a private window, as a visitor who is not logged in.

What the free plan covers

ReTestimonial's free plan brings in up to 25 Google reviews at a time, from 1 location, and shows a small “Powered by ReTestimonial” badge. You do not sign in to Google: you find your business by name, and the builder reads its public reviews.

Which reviews show, how new ones arrive and what the paid plans add are answered on the Google reviews widget page.

How these steps were checked

Tried on a live, self-hosted WordPress 7.1 site: the widget showed on the published page to a visitor who was not logged in. WordPress.com was not tried; what it requires is from its help pages.

The steps were checked for a testimonial widget from the same builder. A Google reviews widget goes onto the page with the same kind of snippet, so the steps do not change.
