How to Customize and Embed Review Widgets in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge review widgets pull live Google and Facebook reviews, let you control layout, content, and theme, and embed on any site with a single code snippet.

Review widgets pull your Google and Facebook reviews into one block you can drop onto any site. New reviews flow in automatically, the layout matches your branding, and an AI summary highlights overall sentiment at the top.

What you can control

  • Source. Pull from Google, Facebook, or both.
  • Filters. Hide reviews under a star threshold or those without text.
  • Layout. List, Grid, Masonry, Carousel, Slider, Flash, or Legacy.
  • Theme. Light, Dark, or Custom with full color control.
  • AI summary. Short, Detailed, or Action-Oriented sentiment overview.

Build a widget

  1. From the sub-account, open Reputation in the left nav.
  2. Click the Widgets tab.
  3. Click + Create Widget, or pick a pre-built template for a head start.
  4. Configure each tab (Layout, Content, Appearance, Settings — see below).
  5. Click Save.

Layout tab

Sets the structure: review source, widget type, max reviews, minimum rating, AI summary type and position, and whether the "Powered by" footer shows.

Content tab

Edits the header strip — title, heading, supporting description, average rating, total review count, and the "Write a Review" button.

Appearance tab

Picks the theme (Light, Dark, Custom) and sets the font. With Custom, you control background, borders, star color, review text color, and button colors individually.

Settings tab

Toggles per-review options: show the date, show the reviewer icon, hide reviews with no text. The embed code lives here too.

Embed the widget

On a Sparkforge site or funnel, drag the Reviews element onto the page — it renders your default widget.

To embed a specific widget (or use it on a non-Sparkforge site), click the code icon, copy the snippet, and paste it into a custom HTML block. To run multiple different widgets on the same page, embed each one with its own code block.

Maintenance

The widget syncs continuously with Google and Facebook, so new reviews show up automatically based on your filter and display rules. You can edit a live widget at any time — saved changes update everywhere it is embedded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run multiple review widgets on the same site?
Yes. The drag-and-drop Reviews element shows your default widget only. To run multiple different widgets, copy the embed code for each one and paste each into its own custom HTML block.
Will new reviews show up automatically?
Yes. The widget syncs with the connected platforms (Google, Facebook). New reviews appear based on your source, filter, and display settings without any manual refresh.
Can I embed a Sparkforge review widget on a WordPress or Wix site?
Yes. Copy the embed code from the widget builder and paste it into a custom HTML block on any platform that allows third-party scripts.
Can I keep editing a widget after I embed it?
Yes. Layout, content, and styling changes you save in the widget builder push to every site where the widget is embedded.
Are the widgets mobile responsive?
Yes. Every layout and template is responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop without additional configuration.
