Google Reviews Widget

Reusable embed served from widgets.bentliquid.com. Config lives entirely in the embed tag — no database, no per-client server records.

Embed

<script src="https://widgets.bentliquid.com/google-reviews.js" async></script>
<!-- Use place-id="PLACE_ID_HERE" instead of gbp-location if this client
     isn't on the Business Profile API yet (see scripts/gbp-list-locations.mjs) -->
<google-reviews-widget
  gbp-location="GBP_LOCATION_HERE"
  layout="marquee"
  direction="elevated"
  min-rating="5"
  primary-color="#1a1a1a"
  text-color="#1a1a1a"
  theme="light"
  align="left"
  hide-summary="false"
  hide-empty-reviews="true"
></google-reviews-widget>

Attributes

`place-id`	Google Place ID. Required unless `gbp-location` is set.
`gbp-location`	Business Profile resource name, `accounts/{id}/locations/{id}`. Opt-in — switches this embed from the Places API (≤5 reviews, always live) to the Business Profile API (every review, cached 1 hour). Takes priority over `place-id` when both are set. Find it with `scripts/gbp-list-locations.mjs`.
`layout`	`marquee` (default), `grid`, `list`, `spotlight`, `badge`
`direction`	`elevated` (default), `minimal`, `editorial` — visual treatment, independent of layout
`max-reviews`	Default `5` on Places (Google's own cap), `200` on the Business Profile path (clamped 1–200) — leave unset there to show everything.
`min-rating`	0–5, default `0`. Hides reviews below this rating. Opt-in curation — see CLAUDE.md. On Places, Google picks which ≤5 reviews it returns, so a strict value can leave very few. On the Business Profile path this is a real "5-star only" filter over every review.
`primary-color`	Interactive accent (links, dots, "read full review")
`text-color`	Body text color
`theme`	`light` (default) or `dark`
`hide-empty-reviews`	Default `true` — hides reviews with no written text (a bare star rating). Keys off text only, not rating. Set `"false"` to show every review.
`api-base`	Override the proxy origin (rarely needed)
`align`	`left` (default), `center` — summary + attribution row only, for full-width embeds
`hide-summary`	`true` hides the business-name/rating row. Attribution row stays regardless.
`draggable`	Default `false`. `marquee` only — grab the auto-scrolling strip mid-motion and drag it; releases back into auto-scroll from that spot, no snap. No effect under reduced-motion.
