Step 1 — Sign up for Devixus Widgets

Create a free account at devixus-widgets-web.vercel.app/signup. The free plan gives you 2 widgets with no view limits and no credit card required.

Step 2 — Create a Google Reviews widget

In your dashboard, click "New Widget" → "Google Reviews". Search for your business by name — we'll look it up using the Google Places API automatically.

What you can customize:

Number of reviews to display (1–10)
Minimum star rating to show (e.g. only 4★ and above)
Layout: carousel or grid
Show/hide reviewer photos
Light / dark / auto theme
Custom accent color

Step 3 — Get the embed code

Click "Get embed code" to copy your unique script tag. It looks like this:

<script src="https://devixus.com/widget.js" data-widget-id="YOUR_ID" async></script>

One tag. That's all. Paste it where you want the reviews to appear.

Step 4 — Add it to your website

Platform-specific instructions:

WordPress:Gutenberg → Custom HTML block, or paste in your footer.php before </body>

Shopify:Online Store → Themes → Edit code → paste in theme.liquid before </body>

Webflow:Add an Embed element from the Add panel, paste the script

Wix:Add → Embed → HTML Code, paste the script

Squarespace:Edit a page → Add Block → Code, paste the script

Any HTML:Paste anywhere in <body>

Do reviews update automatically?

Yes. The widget fetches fresh data from Google each time it loads, so new reviews appear on your site automatically — no need to update anything. Reviews are cached briefly for performance, so a brand new review may take up to an hour to appear.

Where to place the widget for maximum impact

Homepage:Visitors see it immediately — builds trust before they explore
Pricing page:Hesitant buyers need social proof right before they decide
Contact / About page:People researching your business want validation
Product / service pages:Category-specific trust signals near the decision point

Does it affect page speed?

No. The script loads asynchronously and renders in an isolated Shadow DOM. It does not block your page from loading and cannot conflict with your existing CSS or JavaScript.
