GMB Club

Show your Google reviews on your website

Who this is for: you already have a website (WordPress, Shopify, PrestaShop, Wix or a custom site) and you want to show your Google reviews on it, without copying them by hand and without maintaining anything.

What you'll see: where to get your embed code inside the app, how to paste it depending on your platform, how to choose what shows up, and the small bonus for your search ranking.

Your best Google reviews, visible on your site, updated on their own. You paste a single line and that's it: when a new review lands on your Google listing, it appears on your site without you touching anything.


What it's for, and who

A hesitating visitor reassures themselves when they see that other customers came before them and left happy. Showing your Google reviews right on your site gives them that proof at the moment they decide, without having to leave your page to go find it elsewhere.

The reviews shown are always up to date: they're your real Google reviews, pulled in automatically. Nothing to copy, nothing to refresh.


Get your embed code

It all starts in the app, in three short steps:

  1. Open the Reviews page (see Manage your Google reviews).
  2. Click the "Your reviews on your website" link.
  3. Click "Get my embed code".

That's all: your key is created in one click, there is no form to fill in. The window that opens detects the platform connected to your business and adapts both the code to copy and the steps to follow. You copy, you type nothing.


Install it on your site

Pick your platform. The code already comes filled with your key inside the app: you just copy it as is.

WordPress

If the GMB Club Connect plugin is installed on your site, you use a shortcode, even simpler than the line of code:

[gmbclco_reviews]
  1. Install the GMB Club Connect plugin on your WordPress site.
  2. Edit the page or post where you want your reviews to show.
  3. Paste the shortcode above where you want it, then publish.

Shopify

<script src="https://app.gmb-club.com/api/embed/reviews-widget.js?api_key=YOUR_KEY" async></script>
  1. Copy the code above.
  2. In Shopify, open Online Store then Customize your theme.
  3. Add a custom code section and paste the code into it, then save.

PrestaShop

<script src="https://app.gmb-club.com/api/embed/reviews-widget.js?api_key=YOUR_KEY" async></script>
  1. Copy the code above.
  2. In PrestaShop, open Design then your theme editor or a CMS page.
  3. Paste the code where you want it, then save.

Wix

<script src="https://app.gmb-club.com/api/embed/reviews-widget.js?api_key=YOUR_KEY" async></script>
  1. Copy the code above.
  2. In the Wix editor, add an Embed a Code element.
  3. Paste the code into that element, then publish your site.

Any other site (custom, Webflow, Squarespace…)

<script src="https://app.gmb-club.com/api/embed/reviews-widget.js?api_key=YOUR_KEY" async></script>
  1. Copy the code above.
  2. Open the page of your site where you want your reviews to show.
  3. Paste the code into the HTML, where you want it, then save.

In the code, YOUR_KEY is already replaced with your real key inside the app. You copy the line as is.


Customize the display

By default, the display is already set for most cases. If you want to adjust it, you add options at the end of the line to paste, separated by an &:

OptionValuesDefaultWhat it changes
min_stars1 to 54The minimum rating of the reviews shown
max1 to 5010The number of reviews shown
show_photos0 or 11Show the author's photo
name_formatfull, first, initialsfullFull name, first name only, or initials
positionright, leftrightWhich side it shows on

For example, to show only your 5-star reviews, cap them at 6 and display first names only:

<script src="https://app.gmb-club.com/api/embed/reviews-widget.js?api_key=YOUR_KEY&min_stars=5&max=6&name_format=first" async></script>

The SEO bonus

On top of showing your reviews, the line you paste gives Google the data it reads to know your average rating and your number of reviews. Thanks to that, Google can show your stars directly in its search results, under your link.

Be clear-eyed on one point: Google can do it, it never guarantees it. Google alone decides whether to show those stars. But without this data, it can't show them at all: providing it is giving yourself the chance.


If something goes wrong

Most questions (automatic updates, site speed, supported platforms, search ranking…) are answered in the FAQ, under the Reviews on your website section.
