What is a testimonial widget?

A testimonial widget is a block of your site that shows customer quotes, usually with a name, a rating and a date. Instead of hard-coding the quotes into your template, the widget loads them from one place, so adding a testimonial does not mean editing the page again. In JustReview the same widget can render as a slider, a grid or a full page, and the testimonials are your real reviews, pulled from the platforms where customers already left them.

How do I add testimonials to my website?

Connect a source (Google or Facebook take about a minute through their own login), pick a layout in the panel, then paste one script tag and one empty div where the testimonials should appear. No plugin and no template edits. The same snippet works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop, Shoper and plain HTML.

What is a testimonial slider or carousel?

A slider (also called a carousel) shows one testimonial at a time and rotates through the rest, either automatically or with arrows. It is the layout to use when you have more testimonials than fit on the screen and you do not want a wall of text. A grid or a full testimonials page is the better choice when you want visitors to be able to read and compare everything at once.

Is the testimonial widget free?

The free plan gives you the Badge widget and up to 100 stored reviews from Google and Facebook, with no credit card and no page view limit. The Testimonials slider and grid start on the Plus plan at 9 EUR a month, and the full Reviews Page layout on Pro at 19 EUR a month. Paid plans come with a 7-day trial, so you can see the widget on your own reviews before paying.

Can I show testimonials I collected myself, not from a review site?

Yes, in two ways. You can import them from a CSV file (Plus and up), which is the usual route for quotes you already have in a spreadsheet or in email. You can also collect new ones directly on your site: the Reviews Page layout includes a review form, so a visitor can leave a testimonial without going anywhere else.

Widgets

Testimonial widget for any website

One snippet puts a testimonial slider, a grid or a whole testimonials page on your site. The quotes are your real reviews: JustReview pulls them from Google, Facebook, Capterra, G2 and 32 other sources, refreshes them every 24 hours and keeps the layout in your brand colours.

The widget, running on this page

Not a screenshot and not a mockup. Below is the JustReview testimonials slider showing our own reviews from Facebook, Capterra and G2, loaded by the same script you would paste into your site.

Layouts, and where each one belongs

Testimonials are not one shape. A homepage needs a short slider, a landing page needs a compact section that does not push the button below the fold, and a dedicated page can afford everything. These are the layouts JustReview renders from the same set of reviews, with the plan each one starts on.

JustReview testimonial layouts, what each one is for and the plan it starts on
Layout	What it is for	Starts on
Testimonials slider or grid	The classic testimonial section: quotes with name, rating, date and source logo. Slider when space is tight, grid when you want several visible at once.	Plus, 9 EUR / month
Reviews page	A full testimonials page: average rating, every review and a form for visitors to add their own. This is the layout running on our own reviews page.	Pro, 19 EUR / month
Badge	A small floating rating badge in the corner of the page. The lightest way to show social proof on every subpage at once.	Basic, free
Counters and summary	Rating and review count per source, for a proof strip near a call to action rather than a block of quotes.	Plus, 9 EUR / month
Stars with rich snippet data	Star rating with the structured data Google needs to show stars in search results.	Pro, 19 EUR / month

Every plan, including the free one, allows unlimited websites and unlimited page views. We do not meter how often your widget loads. Full table on the pricing page.

Where the testimonials come from

The weak point of most testimonial sections is that somebody has to write and maintain them, so they age, and visitors can tell. JustReview takes the quotes from places where customers already wrote them:

36 review sources. Google and Facebook on every plan, plus Capterra, G2, Trustpilot, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Booking, Airbnb, Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Allegro, Booksy and more on higher plans. Reviews refresh every 24 hours, so a new one appears without you touching the page.
A form on your own site. The reviews page layout includes a review form, so a visitor can leave a testimonial where they already are, instead of being sent to a platform they may not use.
A CSV file. For quotes you already collected by email or in a spreadsheet. Import once and they sit next to the imported ones.

You decide what shows: filter by source, by rating, by language of the page, or hide single reviews one by one on the Ultimate plan.

How to add testimonials to your website

Connect a source. Google and Facebook go through their own login and take about a minute. Other sources need the public address of your profile.
Pick the layout and the colours. The panel shows a live preview with your own reviews, so you see the real thing rather than sample text.
Paste two lines. One script tag and one empty div where the testimonials belong. Same snippet on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop, Shoper and plain HTML. Step by step instructions per platform are in the knowledge base.

If somebody else looks after your site, the panel can send them the snippet and the instructions by email, with your reply address on it.
