Add review site badges to your website

20–30 minutes. Impact: medium Effort: low

Adding review badges or widgets to your own website — the little 'See our reviews on Google/Yelp/Trustpilot' badges, or a live widget pulling in your rating. It puts your hard-earned reviews right on your site where buyers see them.

A review badge does two jobs at once: it shows visitors you have reviews (instant trust) and gives them a path to read or leave more. Seeing a 4.8★ badge on your site reassures a hesitant buyer at the exact moment they're deciding — and it quietly reminds happy customers that leaving a review is a thing they can do.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Grab the official badge or widget from each platform
    Most review platforms (Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, industry sites) offer an official badge or embeddable widget in your profile's dashboard. Use the official one — it's trusted, updates automatically, and links back to your real profile.
  2. 2
    Place it where trust matters
    Put the badge where buyers hesitate — footer (site-wide), near your calls to action, on your contact and pricing pages. A live-rating widget works well on the homepage.
  3. 3
    Make sure it links to your real profile
    The badge should click through to your actual review profile so visitors can read the reviews or add their own. A badge that goes nowhere wastes the trust it builds.
  4. 4
    Confirm it loads cleanly on mobile
    Check the badge doesn't slow the page or break the mobile layout — test it on a phone. A janky widget hurts more than it helps.
