How to add reviews to Weebly (2026 step-by-step guide)

Weebly was acquired by Square in 2018 and rebranded to Square Online in 2020, but the original Weebly editor still runs millions of small business sites worldwide.

If you’re on either version, the core problem is the same: visitors won’t buy or book without seeing what other customers have said.

This guide covers two real ways to add reviews to a Weebly site in 2026, what each method costs, and where to place reviews so they actually convert.

What you need before you start

Before adding reviews to your Weebly site, gather these:

• Admin access to your Weebly dashboard (free or Pro plan both work)
• The pages you want reviews on identified ahead of time (product pages, homepage, contact page, booking page)
• Existing reviews to import if you have them on Google Business Profile, Facebook, or another platform, or a plan to start collecting them
• 10-15 minutes for the initial setup, plus 5 minutes per additional page

That’s it. No coding skills, no developer required.

The 2 ways to add reviews to Weebly

There are two paths, and the right one depends on whether you need automated review collection with real customer photos and Google review imports, or just a few static client quotes on a launch page.

Pick one based on what you actually need. A static testimonial section won’t scale to 200 reviews across 30 product pages.

Method 1: Embed a review widget with WiserReview

The most flexible approach. WiserReview handles review collection, moderation, and display, then gives you an embed snippet you paste into Weebly’s Embed Code element.

Best for: Ecommerce stores, multi-platform sellers, or anyone who wants reviews from Google, Facebook, and on-site sources in one widget. Also the only method that gives you proper schema markup for star ratings in Google search.

First, sign up for a WiserReview account. The free plan covers 100 review imports per month.

Next, follow the steps below to show clean, high-converting reviews on your Weebly site.

Start by importing your existing reviews via a direct integration or CSV import. Connect Google Business Profile, Facebook, or upload a CSV.

If you do not yet have reviews, you can start collecting them with WiserReview automations.

After that, go to the Widgets section. You will see multiple product review widgets designed to build trust and help visitors make decisions.

For this example, we chose the product review section. You can customize it to match your brand colors and layout. Once everything looks right, click Install.

You will then see the JavaScript, iframe, and URL options for embedding the widget on your store.

Here is how the product review section looks on the MyMunche website.

How to paste the widget into Weebly:

1. Log in to your Weebly dashboard and open the website editor.
2. Navigate to the page where you want reviews to appear.
3. From the left sidebar, drag the Embed Code element onto the page.
4. Click the element on the page and choose Edit Custom HTML.
5. Paste the WiserReview embed code you copied earlier.
6. Adjust the embed block’s width and spacing in the Weebly editor.
7. Hit Publish. Reviews go live immediately.

For site-wide widgets (like a floating review badge), paste the embed code into Weebly’s footer section instead of a single page. The widget then appears on every page.

What you get with this method:

• Photo and video reviews
• Schema markup so star ratings appear in Google search results
• AI-moderated reviews to filter spam automatically
• Multi-source imports (Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, Amazon)
• Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and QR code review request automation

WiserReview also helps you manage reviews with built-in AI and collect them via email, SMS, WhatsApp, form links, QR codes, and more. Based on four years of experience working with over 1,100 brands, this is the path most growing stores end up on.

Method 2: Add reviews manually with Weebly elements

Weebly has built-in Text, Image, and Title elements you can combine to create a static testimonial section. No third-party tools, no embed code, no recurring cost.

Best for: Sites with under 10 testimonials that won’t change often. Service businesses with a few standout client quotes. Brands that want full design control without paying for a widget.

How to build a manual testimonial section:

1. Open the Weebly editor and go to the page where you want testimonials.
2. Drag a Title element to the section. Name it “What our customers say” or similar.
3. Drag a 2-column or 3-column layout below the title.
4. In each column, drag an Image element (for the customer’s photo or avatar) and a Text element (for the review).
5. Write the review text in the format: short quote in italics, then customer name and role below in bold.
6. For a star rating, copy and paste star symbols into the text element. Weebly doesn’t have a native star rating widget.
7. Repeat for each testimonial. Aim for 3-6 testimonials maximum per page.
8. Publish your site.

What you give up:

• No automation. You manually edit the page every time a new review comes in.
• No star ratings in Google search results (no schema markup)
• No photo or video review collection from real customers
• Reviews don’t update automatically when new ones arrive on Google or Facebook
• Visitors may suspect testimonials are cherry-picked since there’s no third-party verification

This method is fine for a launch site with 3-5 founder-curated quotes, but plan to move to Method 1 once you cross 10-15 reviews.

Where to place reviews on a Weebly site

Placement matters more than which method you pick. Reviews in the wrong spot don’t convert.

• Product pages: Embed a product review widget directly below the buy button. Visitors scroll to confirm the purchase decision; reviews at that exact spot reduce hesitation.
• Homepage: A slider or carousel of 4-6 standout testimonials in the middle-to-lower section. Not at the top (visitors haven’t seen what you offer yet) and not at the bottom (most won’t scroll there).
• Contact or booking pages: A short 2-3 review block directly above the form. Reduces form-abandonment hesitation.
• Service pages: Tag-filtered reviews specific to that service. A web design page should show web design testimonials, not generic ones.
• Floating badge: A global trust signal that follows the visitor across the site. Best in the bottom-right corner on desktop, bottom-center on mobile.

What about Square Online?

Weebly Online Store sites built before 2020 still use the classic Weebly editor. Sites created or upgraded after 2020 run on Square Online with a similar but updated interface.

Both versions support the methods above, with one difference: Square Online has a built-in product reviews feature that shows customer reviews on product pages without any third-party tools. To enable it, go to your Square Online dashboard, click Items, open any product, and toggle on Allow customer reviews.

For Square Online stores wanting reviews beyond what the native feature offers (Google review imports, video reviews, custom layouts), Method 1 (WiserReview embed) works identically to classic Weebly. The Embed Code element exists in both editors.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Hiding reviews at the bottom of the page: Most visitors never scroll past the first screen. Move review summaries higher, ideally above the fold or directly next to the action button.
• Showing the same testimonial sitewide: Generic quotes that aren’t tied to a specific product or service look manufactured. Use tag-filtered widgets so a contact page shows service reviews and a product page shows product reviews.
• Skipping mobile testing: 60-70% of Weebly site traffic is mobile. A widget that renders cleanly on a desktop can break on an iPhone. Always preview the page in mobile view before publishing.
• Embedding too many widgets on one page: One slider plus one product widget is enough. Three or four widgets crowd the layout and slow page load.
• Forgetting schema markup: If you want star ratings to appear in Google search results next to your page (the yellow stars in snippets), the review tool you embed must output JSON-LD schema. WiserReview does. Manual testimonials don’t.

Final thoughts

The right method depends on your business stage. A new local service site with 3 testimonials should start with Method 2 (manual) and move up as reviews accumulate. An established ecommerce store with reviews scattered across Google Business Profile and Facebook needs Method 1 from day one to pull them into a single widget.

Whichever path you take, place the reviews where buying decisions happen, test the mobile view, and add schema markup if SEO matters to you.
