How to Add Google Reviews to a Framer Website

You add Google reviews to a Framer site with the ReviewsJet plugin. Install it from the Framer Marketplace, search for your business by name, publish the reviews you want, and click Add to page on a grid or slider. There is no Google Cloud API key and nothing to paste into an Embed.

Key takeaways

• Install ReviewsJet from the Framer Marketplace, then open it on your project
• Click Show my reviews (or sign in if you already have an account) to connect ReviewsJet to the project
• Open Add reviews, choose Google, and type the business name and city in Your business on Google
• Publish a short set in Reviews before the widget shows anything
• On Display, click Add to page for a grid or slider. Popup and Spotlight only show on the published site

What you are replacing

Most Framer write-ups tell you to drop an HTML embed on the page, or to create a Google Cloud key and a Place ID. Both work until the embed height is wrong, or the key is restricted to the wrong domain and the canvas stays empty.

The plugin writes a ReviewsJet component into the project and drops it where you are looking. You drag and resize it like any other layer. The reviews render on the canvas, so you can lay the page out around them before you publish.

What you need

• A Framer project you can edit and publish
• A Google Business Profile with reviews you are happy to show
• A free ReviewsJet account at app.reviewsjet.com

Step 1: Open the plugin from the Marketplace

Open the ReviewsJet Marketplace listing. Click Open Plugin and pick the Framer project you want to connect.

Framer opens a ReviewsJet window on top of the canvas. Keep that window open while you connect the account and import Google. Closing it early just means you open the plugin again from the project.

Step 2: Connect ReviewsJet to the project

In the plugin window, click Show my reviews. If you already have a ReviewsJet account, you will see Sign in to ReviewsJet instead. Enter your email and password, then continue.

Approve the project when ReviewsJet asks. The plugin picks up the connection on its own. There is no "Continue with Framer" button, because a Framer plugin does not provide an email to sign you in.

After you are connected, the framed window shows your ReviewsJet dashboard inside Framer: Reviews, Collect, Display, and Settings in the left rail.

Step 3: Start a Google import from Add reviews

On Reviews, click Add reviews. A menu opens with Write one in, Upload a CSV, and an Import from list. Choose Google.

You can reach the same Google form from Collect → Sources if you prefer to manage connections there. From Reviews, Add reviews → Google is the shortest path the first time.

Step 4: Search for your business by name

The Google panel opens with Your business on Google. Type the business name and city the way a customer would search Maps (for example, Acme Bakery Lyon or Blue Bottle Coffee Oakland). Wait for the listing suggestions, then pick the correct place.

ReviewsJet fills in the Maps URL and a connection name for you after you pick a result. You do not need a Place ID or a Google Cloud key.

If you already have the Maps link, use Paste a link instead. Copy the link from the place overview on Maps, or from Share. A Google search results URL will not import.

By default only 5-star reviews come in. Lower Only import reviews rated if you also want 4-star reviews. The change applies to the next import. Reviews already saved stay as they are.

The first import usually finishes in a minute or two. Keep the panel open until it does. When it succeeds, Collect shows Google as Connected with the Maps URL and a review count.

Step 5: Publish a short set in Reviews

Open Reviews again. You will see the imported comments, including names, stars, and the Google source mark. Publish the ones that match the page you are designing. Leave the rest unpublished. Only published reviews appear in the widget.

Free publishes 5 reviews from 1 source. That is enough to prove the Framer page. Professional publishes 150 from 2 sources, which is the point you add Yelp or Trustpilot beside Google. Advanced publishes unlimited reviews. See pricing.

Step 6: Add a widget to the canvas

Open Display in the framed ReviewsJet window. You will see Marquee, Slider, Masonry, Grid, Quote, List, Popup, and Spotlight.

For a section of the page, choose Grid or Slider and click Add to page. The component lands in the frame you are viewing. Drag it under the offer, or onto a dedicated reviews page, then resize it like any other layer.

If you closed the big window and only have the compact plugin panel, the same page widgets use Insert instead of Add to page. The layouts are the same.

Popup and Spotlight are site-wide. Turn them on in Display. They are not layers on the canvas, and Framer only shows them after you publish the site.

Step 7: Publish the Framer site and check it

Publish the site from Framer. Open the live URL, not only the canvas. Confirm the names and photos load, and that unpublished reviews are absent.

If the canvas shows reviews but the live site does not, check that you published the Framer project after Add to page, and that those reviews are still published in ReviewsJet.

A quiet import is usually the filter

The connect screen starts at 5 stars only. A Maps listing can have a long history and still arrive as a short set, because that is what the filter asked for. Lower "Only import reviews rated" when 4-star reviews belong on the page too. The change applies to the next import. Reviews already saved stay where they are.

The other empty result is the wrong listing. Picking a similarly named place from search imports that place, not yours. If you used Paste a link instead, a Google search URL will not import. Open the place on Maps and copy the link from the overview, or from Share.

What you can see before you publish

A grid or a slider is a layer. You can drag it, resize it, and read the reviews while you design the page. Popup and Spotlight are not layers. Turn them on in Display for the whole site, and Framer only shows them after you publish.

Open the plugin on your project, search for your business by name, add a grid, and publish the Framer site when the canvas looks right.
