Step 1: Featuring your reviews in Elfsight Google Reviews widget

The easiest way to get your reviews displayed in the Google Reviews widget is to find your business or location using its name and address (city, street, zip, etc.). Alternatively, you can use its Google Place ID. If you operate an online business or the location you would like to add doesn’t have a physical address, you need to use its Google Maps Embed Code. Below we have provided step-by-step instructions that will help you find your location and display your reviews.

Our Google Reviews widget allows adding only 1 Google source. If you would like to combine several Google sources in one widget, please take a look at our All-in-One Reviews widget.
