Can I embed Google reviews to my Hubspot website?

[DBancroft3]

I am trying to decide the best way to feature reviews on my Hubspot website. Is there a way to integrate/embed Google reviews directly? Is there a widget I can use?

Yes, it is possible to embed Google reviews onto your HubSpot website. One way to do this is by using a third-party widget or plugin, such as EmbedSocial or WidgetPack, which allow you to display your Google reviews on your website. Another option is to use Google's official review badge, which provides a simple way to showcase your Google reviews and encourages customers to leave feedback.

To embed Google reviews on your HubSpot website, you will need to follow the instructions provided by the widget or plugin you choose. This typically involves creating an account, connecting your Google Business account, and customizing the display of your reviews. Once set up, you can easily add the widget or badge to your HubSpot website to showcase your Google reviews and build trust with potential customers.

Hi DBancroft3,
Yes, you can embed Google reviews on your HubSpot website, and it’s a great way to showcase customer feedback and build trust with visitors. To integrate Google reviews directly, you can use a widget designed specifically for this purpose.

For instance, Taggbox offers a Google Review Widget that allows you to seamlessly embed and display customer reviews on your HubSpot website. The widget is easy to set up and customize, enabling you to curate the reviews you want to show and match them with your site's design. By embedding Google reviews, you can enhance social proof, improve credibility, and potentially increase conversions on your HubSpot site.

Is there a cost to the widgets?

[Victor_Becerra]

Hi @KGolke , great question!

Most third-party widgets do have both free and paid options. Free versions are usually limited in terms of customization or branding, while the paid plans give you more design flexibility, automatic updates, and advanced features.

It really depends on the provider you choose and how much control you’d like over the look and feel of the reviews on your site. 

Hope this helps you decide the best fit for your site!

Best, Victor

Yes, you can embed Google reviews on your HubSpot website! Here are some methods you can use for your business:

A. Using HubSpot's Review Feature

If you have HubSpot's built-in review features or integrations, you can explore those to pull in Google reviews directly.

B. Manual Embedding with Google Maps

If you prefer a more manual approach:

1. Get Your Google Review Link:

• You can search for your business on Google.
• Click on the “Reviews” section to open your reviews.
• Copy the link to your Google review page.

2. Create an Embed Code:

• Use Google Maps to create an embed code for your business location.
• Click on "Share" and select "Embed a map" to get the HTML code.

3. Add to HubSpot:

• Go to your HubSpot dashboard, navigate to your page, and add a Custom HTML module.
• Paste the embed code in the module.
  
  

C. Use a Third-Party Widget Tool

Several tools allow you to embed Google reviews widget easily:

1. Tagembed: A versatile tool that lets you aggregate and embed Google reviews directly on your HubSpot website, ensuring they refresh automatically.

2. EmbedSocial: This tool allows you to create a Google Reviews widget that you can embed on your HubSpot pages. It automatically updates with new reviews.

3. Taggbox: Similar to EmbedSocial, Taggbox enables you to collect and display Google reviews, with customization options for how they look on your site.

4. Trustpilot: If you already use Trustpilot, you can integrate Google reviews into your Trustpilot profile and display them using their widgets.

Using a third-party widget is typically the easiest and most visually appealing method to integrate Google reviews into your HubSpot website. Please select the option that works best for you.

Hi DBancroft3,

Yes, you can embed Google reviews on your HubSpot website using third-party tools and without them, depending on your technical comfort and the features available on HubSpot. Here’s how you can do it:

Using Third-Party Tools:

1. Tagembed: This tool allows you to easily embed Google reviews on any website. After connecting your Google My Business account, you can generate an embed code from Tagembed.

2. Elfsight: Another popular tool that provides widgets for embedding Google reviews. You can customize the widget and get a code to embed on your HubSpot website.

3. Tagbox: This platform offers widgets for managing customer reviews and integrating different types of themes with various website platforms, including HubSpot.

Without Third-Party Tools (Manual Embedding):

1. Google My Business API: If you have developer skills or access to a developer, you can use the Google My Business API to fetch and display reviews directly on your website. This requires coding knowledge but offers more control and customization.

2. Google Maps Embed API: Another option for more technical users is using the Google Maps Embed API to display reviews alongside a map of your business location.
   
   

Steps for Manual Embedding:

• Step 1: Go to your Google My Business dashboard and navigate to the reviews section.
• Step 2: For each review you want to display, you can manually copy the content (text), rating, and author details.
• Step 3: Use HTML/CSS to format and display these reviews on your HubSpot website. You'll need to create divs or sections where you paste the review content.

Considerations:

• Legal and Policy Compliance: When displaying reviews, comply with Google's terms of service and privacy policies.
• Design and Integration: For a better user experience, make sure the reviews fit seamlessly into the design of your HubSpot website.

We have developed a Google Reviews Embed module for HubSpot CMS. It has both static and dynamic modes.

The static mode allows users to feed in the reviews manually.

The dynamic mode involves making an API call to retrieve live reviews from Google My Business.

You can install the free module from the HubSpot marketplace or Digital Woods Hub.

Both of those are paid service providers, most companies don't want to pay $30/month just to link Google reviews on their site.  The best way is with a custom module that references the Google Reviews API, which is available here:  https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/review-data
