Review Badge Generator
Show your Google rating on your own website. Configure it, copy one line of HTML, paste it anywhere — free, no signup, no script tag.
Leave this empty and the badge is a plain image that doesn't link anywhere. Add your review link and it points at your own reviews — which is what visitors expect when they click a star rating.

The badge is a plain <img> pointing at a cached SVG (274×66px) on our server — no JavaScript, no tracking, no cookies, nothing to slow your page down. The credit is the only link back to us, and unticking it removes that link from the snippet completely; nothing is kept invisibly in the code. Enter your real Google rating and review count, and update them when they change.
Put your Google rating to work everywhere
Your star rating is one of the most persuasive things a potential customer can see — but most of it stays buried on your Google profile. A review badge brings it onto your own website, where visitors are already deciding whether to trust you. It's a small, fast-loading image that shows your rating, stars and review count at a glance.
How it works
Pick your rating, review count and a style above, then copy the embed code. Paste it into your site's HTML — footers and homepages work best — and the badge appears instantly. It works on any platform that accepts HTML: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or a hand-written page.
Technically it is about as light as a website element gets: a single <img> tag pointing at a cached SVG, wrapped in a link. No script tag, no cookie, no tracking pixel, no third-party request beyond the image itself. That means nothing to slow your page down, nothing to disclose in a cookie banner, and nothing that a strict content-security policy will block. When your rating or review count changes, regenerate the code and swap the line.
Point it at your own reviews
Add your Place ID or g.page review link in the optional field and the badge links to your Google reviews, so a visitor who clicks the stars lands exactly where they expected to. That's the version worth putting in your footer — a rating badge that clicks through to a third party is the first thing most developers delete.
Honest by design
The badge displays the numbers you enter, so keep them accurate and in line with your real Google profile. The credit under the badge is a small, plainly-labelled text link, and unticking it removes that link from the snippet completely — nothing is kept invisibly in the code. Use it to show genuine social proof, then keep that rating growing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a Google reviews badge to my website?
Set your star rating and review count in the generator above, choose a style (light, dark or compact), then copy the one-line embed code. Paste it into your website's HTML — most commonly the footer, homepage or a 'reviews' section. It works on any platform that lets you add HTML: WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and plain HTML sites.
Is the review badge free?
Yes, completely free with no signup. Generate the code, paste it, and it's live on your site.
Does the badge update automatically with my live reviews?
No — the badge shows the rating and review count you enter, so it stays accurate as long as you update the numbers when they change. It's a lightweight, fast-loading image rather than a live feed, which keeps it simple and reliable. Just regenerate the code if your rating or count changes.
Where does clicking the badge take visitors?
Wherever you tell it to. Paste your Place ID or g.page review link into the optional 'where the badge should link' field and the stars click through to your own Google reviews — which is what a visitor expects when they click a star rating. Leave it empty and the badge is simply an image that doesn't link anywhere; it is never pointed back at us behind your back.
Can I hide the 'by BuyReviewz' label?
Yes, and unticking it genuinely removes it: the credit is a small text link underneath the badge, not something baked into the image, and it is the only link to us the snippet ever contains. Turn it off and the code that lands on your site holds no link to us at all — nothing hidden, in any combination of settings.
Does the badge use JavaScript, cookies or tracking?
None of the three. The embed is a single <img> tag pointing at a cached SVG on our server, wrapped in a link. There's no script tag, no cookie, no analytics beacon and nothing that can slow your page down or affect your Core Web Vitals — which is also why it passes strict content-security policies that block third-party scripts.
Where should I put the review badge?
Anywhere customers make a decision: your website footer (so it shows site-wide), the homepage hero, product or service pages, and checkout. Social proof works best when it's visible at the moment someone is deciding whether to trust you.
Does showing my Google rating help conversions?
Yes. Displaying a strong star rating is classic social proof — it reassures first-time visitors and can lift enquiries and sales. The badge puts your hard-earned rating to work on your own site, not just on Google.
