Code snippet for installation into your Squarespace website.

In today's digital marketplace, customer reviews are the cornerstone of online credibility. Potential clients want to see real experiences from people who have already engaged with your business, and what better way to showcase that than by integrating Google Reviews directly into your Squarespace website?

How To Add The Widget To Your Squarespace Site

Elfsight offers a powerful, user-friendly solution that makes this integration surprisingly simple. The process begins with creating an account on Elfsight, where you'll find a dedicated Google Reviews widget designed to seamlessly connect with your Google Business Profile. Once logged in, you'll have the opportunity to customize the widget's appearance to match your website's aesthetic perfectly.

The configuration process is intuitive. You can control everything from the number of reviews displayed to their visual presentation. Want to highlight only 4-star and 5-star reviews? Prefer a grid or carousel layout? Elfsight gives you complete control. The platform allows you to filter reviews by language, set minimum star ratings, and choose how they're sorted - ensuring only the most compelling testimonials are front and center.

This is what your code snippet should look like in the Squarespace Code Block element.

After fine-tuning your widget, Elfsight generates a unique JavaScript embed code. Squarespace makes adding this code a breeze. Simply navigate to your site editor, insert a Code Block element, and paste the provided script. Within moments, your website transforms, now featuring authentic, dynamically updated customer reviews that build trust and encourage conversions.

While the basic Elfsight plan is free, they offer more advanced features for businesses looking to maximize their social proof. Pricing starts around $4.99 monthly, with options to scale as your business grows. The investment is minimal compared to the potential impact of showcasing genuine customer experiences.

A few pro tips can elevate your review integration. Position the widget strategically - near service descriptions or contact forms works well. Ensure the design complements your site's overall look, and periodically check that reviews remain current and representative of your current service quality. The Squarespace experts at Agave Studio can customize your Elfsight review widget to match your website’s design.
