Frequently Asked Questions

Is this widget really free?

Yes, completely free with no signup required. You get a static widget that displays your Google rating and review count. The data is captured at generation time and won't auto-update.

How do I add the widget to my website?

After generating your widget, copy the embed code and paste it into your website's HTML where you want the widget to appear. It works on any website — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or custom HTML.

Will the widget data update automatically?

The free static widget is a snapshot from when it was generated. Create a free Starter account to get a connected widget with quarterly auto-updates. Paid plans offer monthly, weekly, or daily syncing.

What Google Maps URL formats are supported?

We accept standard Google Maps URLs including google.com/maps, maps.google, and goo.gl/maps short links. Just copy the URL from your browser when viewing your business on Google Maps.

Does the widget slow down my website?

No. The widget is a lightweight, self-contained script that makes zero network requests after loading. It renders instantly using Shadow DOM for complete style isolation from your site.

Can I customize the widget appearance?

Yes. You can choose from four design variants (small, medium, horizontal, large) and three themes (light, dark, auto). The auto theme matches your visitor's system preference.

Embed a Google rating snapshot on your website

The free widget generator turns a business lookup into an embeddable rating badge. It displays the rating and review count captured when you generate the code.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste the Google Maps link for your business and generate a widget.
  2. Choose a layout and light, dark, or automatic theme.
  3. Copy the code into a custom HTML area on your website, then check the published page on mobile.

Static widget generation is free without signup. A free ReviewPanel account supports managed widgets with quarterly updates; paid plans refresh more often.

Illustrative example

What a static badge contains

Business lookup
Example Café: 4.7 stars from 186 reviews
Published badge
Business name, rating, review count, and a review link
After another review arrives
The static badge still shows the saved snapshot until you regenerate it.

What to do with the result

Choose a small badge for a sidebar or a wider layout for a page section. Place it near useful business information so visitors can understand which listing the rating belongs to.

What this tool can tell you

This generator does not provide automatic updates or a full review-text carousel. Embedding a Google rating does not guarantee stars in your website’s Google search result.

Does the widget show every review?

No. This static tool shows the aggregate rating and review count. ReviewPanel’s separate Showcase widget supports eligible highlighted reviews.

Can I use it on WordPress?

Yes. Use an appropriate custom HTML area, or choose the dedicated ReviewPanel Ratings plugin for a block or shortcode workflow.
