Accessing the Review Widget Customization Tool​

To start customizing your review widgets, navigate to the Reputation section and click on the Widgets tab. Here, you can click Create New Widget to begin crafting your custom review widget. Alternatively, you can select an existing template from the Templates tab.

Layout Tab: Configuring Widget Structure​

In the Layout tab, define the fundamental structure of your widget:

  • Select your preferred widget type: Choose from List, Masonry, Grid, or Legacy. The Legacy type maintains our original widget style for backward compatibility with limited customization.
  • Choose the source of your reviews: Options include GMB and FB.
  • Define the maximum number of reviews you wish to showcase.
  • Select the maximum ratings you wish to display in the widget.
  • Toggle the "Powered by" section to enable or disable its display at the end of the review widget.

Content Tab: Editing Widget Header and Description​

In the Content tab, enhance how your widget appears:

  • Enhance Widget Title and Description: Craft compelling, on-brand titles and descriptions to effectively communicate your message.
  • Header Section Customization: Enable or disable the display of the rating, total review count, and "Write a review" button within the widget.

Appearance Tab: Choosing Themes and Colors​

The Appearance tab offers control over your widget's visual style:

  • Choose from Light, Dark, or create a Custom theme.
  • If you opt for a Custom theme, customize individual component colors such as widget heading color, reviews color, star rating color, background color, border color, and more.

Settings Tab: Fine-Tuning Widget Behavior​

In the Settings tab, refine your widget's behavior:

  • Enable or disable review elements like the display of the review date and reviewer icon.
  • Exclude reviews containing no description.
  • Generate an embed code for your website. Copy the provided code and paste it into your website's HTML to display your widget where you want it.
  • Alternatively, copy the code directly from the copy code icon at the top right of the widget screen.

Saving, Naming, and Managing Your Widgets​

Give your widget a meaningful name for easy reference. You can view all your saved widgets in the Saved Widgets tab. Choose to save your widget for later use or make it live immediately. You can also delete widgets you no longer require by clicking on the triple-dot menu at the widget's upper corner.
