How to Customize Review Widgets in GoHighLevel
ClickUp is often used for project planning, but when it comes to managing and displaying your online reviews, GoHighLevel offers built-in review widgets that are easy to configure. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to customize review widgets in GoHighLevel so you can control what appears on your website and how it looks to visitors.
By following these instructions, you will be able to filter reviews, adjust layout and display options, and embed the widget wherever you need it, all from inside your GoHighLevel account.
Accessing Review Widgets in GoHighLevel
Before customizing anything, you first need to find the review widgets inside your GoHighLevel dashboard.
-
Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
-
Navigate to the Reputation section from the left-hand menu.
-
Locate the area labeled Review Widgets or similar options within the Reputation tools.
This Reputation area is where all review collection and display settings are managed, including widgets that you can embed on your website or landing pages.
Configuring GoHighLevel Review Widget Settings
Once you have accessed the review widgets in GoHighLevel, you can begin customizing how the widget behaves and what content it shows. The source documentation at GoHighLevel Help Center outlines the core widget configuration options available.
Choose Which Reviews to Display in GoHighLevel
The main control you have over the widget is deciding which reviews are displayed. Inside the review widget configuration screen, you will typically see filters such as:
- Minimum star rating – Limit the widget to show reviews at or above a certain rating.
- Review source – Select reviews from specific platforms or connected accounts.
- Date range – Display more recent reviews while hiding older ones, depending on your strategy.
Use these filters to ensure that the testimonials displayed by GoHighLevel accurately reflect the quality and reputation you want to highlight.
Adjust General Display Options
Next, configure how the widget appears visually on your site:
- Number of reviews – Set how many reviews should be shown at one time.
- Pagination or scrolling – Depending on the widget type, choose if users can scroll or click through more reviews.
- Sorting order – Sort reviews by newest first, highest rating, or another supported option.
Balancing the number of reviews and layout style helps create a widget that looks clean while still providing enough social proof.
Customizing the Appearance of GoHighLevel Review Widgets
In addition to filtering reviews, GoHighLevel allows you to tailor the design of the review widget to fit your website style. Design options will vary by widget type, but they typically include layout, colors, and text display settings.
Layout and Structure Settings
Under layout options for the GoHighLevel review widget, configure how each review card and the overall widget is arranged:
- Single column or multi-column layout – Match the widget width to your page section or sidebar.
- Spacing and padding – Adjust the space between individual reviews for a cleaner look.
- Show or hide reviewer details – Decide whether to display the reviewer name, date, or profile details.
Choosing the right layout ensures your review widget integrates smoothly with the rest of your site design.
Color and Branding Options in GoHighLevel
To keep your branding consistent, customize color and text elements offered in the GoHighLevel widget editor:
- Star rating color – Match the star color to your brand palette.
- Text and background colors – Use readable color combinations that align with your website theme.
- Button and link colors – Adjust any call-to-action buttons or links that may appear in the widget.
By aligning colors and typography with your overall brand, you maintain a unified visual experience for visitors.
Filtering and Moderation Options in GoHighLevel
Reputation management is not only about showing reviews but also about moderating what gets published in the first place. GoHighLevel allows you to control which reviews appear through moderation and filtering tools.
Use Rating Filters to Guard Your Brand
Rating filters are one of the simplest ways to protect how your brand appears on the page:
- Set a minimum star rating threshold.
- Exclude reviews that do not meet your quality standard.
- Highlight your best testimonials at the top of the widget.
This approach helps ensure the widget shows a predominantly positive representation of your customer experiences.
Manage Reviews Before Publishing
Depending on the configuration described in the GoHighLevel help article, you may be able to determine whether reviews are automatically added to the widget or require manual review first. When manual moderation is available, use it to:
- Verify authenticity of each review.
- Check for inappropriate content.
- Ensure the review aligns with your publication policy.
Taking time to moderate reviews creates a more professional and trustworthy widget for visitors.
Embedding Your GoHighLevel Review Widget
After configuring filters, design options, and moderation, the final step is embedding the GoHighLevel review widget onto your site or funnel page.
Copy the Embed Code
-
In the review widget configuration screen, locate the Embed or Code section.
-
Copy the HTML or script code snippet provided by GoHighLevel.
Keep this snippet handy, as you will paste it into the website builder or page editor where you want the widget to appear.
Paste the Widget into Your Website
Next, insert the GoHighLevel review widget on your chosen page:
- For websites and blogs: Paste the code into an HTML block, code element, or custom widget section.
- For funnel or landing pages: Use a custom code element within the page builder and insert the snippet.
- For third-party builders: Follow the platform’s instructions for embedding external scripts or HTML.
Once saved and published, your review widget should display live on the page with the exact configuration you set within GoHighLevel.
Testing and Optimizing Your GoHighLevel Review Widget
After embedding the widget, review it from a visitor’s perspective and confirm it is working correctly.
- Check that the correct reviews are being displayed.
- Verify the widget design on desktop and mobile devices.
- Confirm that any pagination or scrolling behavior works as expected.
- Adjust filters and design settings in GoHighLevel if you want to refine the appearance or content.
Regularly revisit your settings as you collect new reviews, ensuring that your widget continues to show the most relevant and persuasive testimonials.
