How to Add Reviews to a GoDaddy Website (7 Steps, 2026)

You add reviews to a GoDaddy website through an HTML section. Create the widget in a review app, copy the code it gives you, and drop that code into the section.

From then on, new reviews land on the page without you touching it.

GoDaddy’s own Reviews section is the other route. It holds up to nine reviews from Facebook, Google Business Profile, or Yelp, or reviews you type in, and it takes up to two days to show a new one.

This guide covers the widget route step by step, where reviews fit in a GoDaddy page, and what to check when the section stays blank.

Ways to Add Reviews to GoDaddy

Both routes live in the same place, the Add Section menu. They differ in what they can show.

The Reviews section is fine for a handful of quotes. The widget route is the one to use when you collect reviews from customers or show more than nine.

How to Add Reviews to a GoDaddy Website

The walkthrough below uses WiserReview. The first six steps are in its dashboard, and the last one is in the GoDaddy website builder.

Step 1: Bring Your Reviews In

1. In the WiserReview dashboard, open Manage Reviews.
2. Click Import Reviews.
3. Choose where they come from, for example Google, Facebook, or a CSV export.
4. Confirm the import, then turn on review requests so new reviews keep arriving.

Step 2: Open a Review Widget

1. Open Widgets from the left menu.
2. Pick a layout, such as Carousel.
3. Click Add widget. If one exists already, click Manage instead.

Step 3: Name the Widget

1. Give it a name that says which GoDaddy page it is for.
2. Click Create.

Step 4: Choose the Reviews to Show

1. Open Filter Reviews.
2. Pick a source, or keep All to mix them.
3. Add a tag filter if this page is about one service or product.

Step 5: Style It and Install

1. Set colors and fonts under Color Options so the widget matches your GoDaddy theme.
2. Check the preview on the right.
3. Click Install.

Step 6: Copy the Embed Code

1. Keep the Javascript tab selected.
2. Click the copy icon.

Step 7: Paste It Into an HTML Section

1. Open the page in the GoDaddy website builder (Websites + Marketing) and hover where the reviews should go.
2. Click Add Section, search for HTML, and click Add.
3. Paste the code into the Custom Code field.
4. Leave Forced Height blank so the section sizes itself, then click Done.
5. Publish the site and open the live page.

The GoDaddy editor sometimes shows a placeholder for script-based embeds. If the preview looks blank, publish and check the live page.

Where to Put Reviews on a GoDaddy Page

GoDaddy pages are stacks of sections, so the question is which section the reviews sit next to.

• Right under the header: a short carousel before visitors scroll to your services.
• Above the contact or booking section: two or three reviews that mention results, right before the form.
• On each service page: a widget filtered by tag, so the page shows reviews about that service.
• Beside the price list: reviews that mention value, next to the Price List section.
• On a dedicated page: a review wall with every review, added to the main menu.

An HTML section shows only on the page where you add it, so repeat step 7 on each page that needs reviews. See the review carousel guide for slider settings that read well.

Review Widget Types for GoDaddy

WiserReview gives you several ways to show reviews on your website.

Each style is designed for a different part of your site, whether it’s your homepage, product page, or landing page.

Here’s a look at all the different display types you can use:

Avatar & Floating Popup

These two options help you show quick and eye-catching reviews that build trust as visitors browse.

What you can do:

• Show happy customer faces and ratings with the avatar strip
• Automatically display a popup with top reviews while someone is scrolling
• Looks good on both desktop and mobile

Good places to use:

• Avatars in your homepage or about section
• Floating popups on product pages, checkout, or landing pages

Carousel & Auto Slider

These are moving sliders that show several reviews one after another, perfect for saving space and keeping your page lively.

What you can do:

• Show 2–3 reviews at a time in a sliding layout
• Let it slide on its own (auto) or let users click to move
• Add review text, images, and star ratings

Good places to use:

• Testimonial sections on home or services pages
• Landing pages or blog posts to show customer feedback

Nudges & Trust Badge

These help build confidence when visitors are close to making a decision, like adding to cart or booking.

What you can do:

• Show quick review quotes right where people are deciding (nudges)
• Add a small badge that shows your overall rating and total reviews.

Good places to use:

• Near buy buttons or pricing tables
• Beside product names or in the page header.

Product Review Section & Star Rating

These are great for online stores. They show detailed feedback and give shoppers a quick look at how others rated a product.

What you can do:

• Show full customer reviews below product descriptions
• Show just the star rating near product titles or listings
• Works with images, videos, and verified buyers

Good places to use:

• Under each product page
• On category pages or product lists

Sidebar Snippet & Floating Badge

These stay visible as people scroll your site, so your reviews are always just a click away.

What you can do:

• Add a “Reviews” tab on the side of your site that opens a panel
• Show a floating badge with your star rating and review count

Good places to use:

• On long pages like blogs or service details
• On mobile or desktop to keep trust visible at all times

Wall of Love & Review Wall

What you can do:

• Show reviews for your brand, shop, or products in a big grid layout
• Add star ratings, images, and even filter reviews by tag
• Make it look clean and easy to browse

Good places to use:

• A full testimonial page
• Below your homepage or near “why choose us” sections

Add Reviews From Google, Facebook and More

The widget route works with every review source. Each guide below goes into the details for one of them.

• Add Google reviews to GoDaddy
• Add Facebook reviews to a website
• Add Capterra reviews to a website
• Add Amazon reviews to a website
• Add App Store reviews to a website
• Add Google Play reviews to a website

Show New Reviews as Notifications

A review section stays put. A notification travels with the visitor, popping up a recent review in a small card such as “Priya S. left a 5-star review.”

WiserNotify reads recent reviews from your connected sources and shows them on GoDaddy pages with a verified label. That suits service and booking pages, where a tall review block would push the form out of view.

Build trust & FOMO

Highlight real-time activities like reviews, sales & sign-ups.

Reviews Not Showing on GoDaddy?

GoDaddy’s HTML section has a few quirks. Check these before anything else.

• Still in the editor: the section may show a placeholder while editing. Publish, then open the live page.
• Script not loading: go back to step 6, switch to the iFrame tab, and paste that code instead.
• Forced Height set: a fixed height cuts the widget off. Clear the field so the section sizes itself.
• Section cap: a page holds 20 sections. If you cannot add another, put the widget on a new page.
• HTTP in the code: GoDaddy wants https addresses. The WiserReview code already uses them, so check nothing was edited.
• Reviews section delay: if you used GoDaddy’s own Reviews section instead, a new review can take up to 48 hours to appear.

Common Mistakes With GoDaddy Reviews

• Nine reviews and done: the Reviews section stops at nine. A widget keeps growing as reviews come in.
• One widget for every page: a page about dog grooming should show grooming reviews. Tag reviews and filter per page.
• Asking for reviews months later: send the request within a few days of the job, while it is fresh.
• No mobile check: open the published page on a phone. The HTML section sits in a frame, so check it does not clip.

Wrap Up

Let GoDaddy’s builder do the layout and let a review app do the collecting. One HTML section per page is all the setup there is, and the reviews inside it grow on their own.

Put the first widget above your booking or contact section, publish, and open it on a phone before you add any more.
