How to Add Google Reviews to GoDaddy (Step-by-Step, 2026)

There are two ways to put Google reviews on a GoDaddy website. GoDaddy’s Reviews section can connect to your Google Business Profile, or a review widget can sit in an HTML section.

The Reviews section is free and quick, but it caps out at nine reviews and new ones can take up to two days to appear.

A widget has no cap, lets you pick which Google reviews show, and matches your site’s style. The steps below cover the widget route, with a screenshot for each one.

Two Ways to Show Google Reviews on GoDaddy

Pick by how many reviews you have and how much control you want over the look.

Option	How it connects	What to expect
GoDaddy Reviews section	Sign in to Google Business Profile from the section settings	Up to 9 reviews, new ones in up to 48 hours, GoDaddy’s layouts only
Review widget in an HTML section	Import from Google into a review app, then paste its code	No cap, filters by source or tag, your colors and fonts

If you only want a few Google quotes on the homepage, the Reviews section is enough. Use a widget when you have dozens of reviews or want them on several pages.

Add a Google Review Widget to GoDaddy

The widget steps below run on WiserReview. The first six happen in WiserReview, and the seventh in GoDaddy.

Step 1: Connect Your Google Reviews

1. Go to Manage Reviews and click Import Reviews.
2. Pick Google to sync your own Business Profile, or Google Place to pull a public listing by name.
3. Approve the connection. Your Google reviews land in the review list.

Step 2: Pick a Widget Layout

1. Open the Widgets page.
2. Choose a layout. A carousel suits a homepage, a review wall suits a reviews page.
3. Click Add widget, or Manage on one you made before.

Step 3: Give It a Name

1. Type a name such as Google reviews homepage.
2. Click Create.

Step 4: Show Only Google Reviews

1. Open Filter Reviews.
2. Set Review source to Google so other sources stay out of this widget.
3. Add a tag if the page covers a single service.

Step 5: Set the Look and Install

1. Match colors and fonts to your GoDaddy theme under Color Options.
2. Watch the preview update on the right.
3. Click Install at the top.

Step 6: Copy the Code

1. Leave the Javascript tab on.
2. Click the copy icon beside the code.

Step 7: Add It to GoDaddy

1. In the GoDaddy website builder, hover over the spot for your reviews and click Add Section.
2. Search for HTML and click Add.
3. Paste the code into Custom Code and leave Forced Height empty.
4. Click Done, publish, and open the live page.

New Google reviews flow into the widget as WiserReview syncs them, so the section stays current without edits in GoDaddy.

Where to Show Google Reviews on GoDaddy

Google reviews carry the most weight where a visitor is about to call, book, or buy.

• Homepage, under the header: your star average and a few recent reviews before visitors scroll.
• Contact and booking pages: reviews that mention response time or the booking experience.
• Service pages: reviews tagged to that service, so a plumber’s drain page shows drain jobs.
• Location pages: reviews from that branch’s Business Profile if you run more than one.

For layout ideas, these Google review widgets show the common formats side by side.

Do Google Reviews on GoDaddy Show Stars in Search?

Usually not. For a local business or service company, Google does not show review stars in search results from reviews you display on your own site.

The stars people see next to your name in Google Search and Maps come from your Business Profile. Product pages in an online store are the one case where on-site reviews can earn stars, through product review markup.

So treat the widget as proof for the people already on your page. Your Business Profile does the work in search.

Show New Google Reviews as Notifications

A notification puts a fresh Google review in a small card at the corner of the page, such as “Dana K. left a 5-star review on Google.”

WiserNotify pulls the latest reviews from your Google Business Profile and pops them up on GoDaddy pages, each marked as verified. That fits booking and landing pages, where a big block of reviews would crowd the form.

Google Reviews Not Showing on GoDaddy?

Run through these before anything else.

• Wrong Google account: connect the Google account that manages your Business Profile, not a personal one.
• Reviews section delay: GoDaddy’s own section may need two days to pull in a new Google review.
• Widget blank in the editor: publish and check the live page, since script embeds may not render in the editor.
• Script blocked: switch to the iFrame tab in step 6 and paste that code instead.
• Cut off at the bottom: clear Forced Height in the HTML section so it sizes itself.
