Reviews Section

Use Reviews to display customer reviews connected to your dealership Locations. Reviews are data-driven and are not typed into the section.

Best use cases

  • Home page social proof
  • A page for a specific dealership location
  • A landing page where trust is important

What you need before you start

  • Confirm reviews are available for your site
  • Decide whether the section should show reviews from all locations or only selected locations
  • Decide how many reviews should show initially

Fields and how to fill them

Content (optional)

  • Content: text shown above the reviews.

Writing tips:

  • Use a short heading.
  • Keep supporting copy to one sentence.

Location scope

  • Location-specific reviews: when enabled, the section shows reviews only from the locations you choose.
  • Select locations: choose one or more locations (required when location-specific is enabled).

Guidance:

  • Use location-specific mode on location landing pages.
  • Use all locations on the home page if you want a broader view.

Review counts

  • Number of reviews initially: how many reviews appear on first load.
  • Show more button: enables an expand action.
  • Number of reviews expanded: how many reviews display after expanding.

Practical guidance:

  • Start with a low initial count so the section stays easy to scan.
  • Set the expanded count high enough to show variety.

Display options

  • Show platform logo: shows the review source branding when available.
  • Show profile picture: shows reviewer profile photos when available.
  • Hide no-comment reviews: removes rating-only reviews.
  • Rating threshold: sets the minimum star rating shown.

Practical guidance:

  • Use a higher rating threshold on marketing pages.
  • Turn on hide no-comment reviews when you want richer content.

If your setup supports it, you can add a link for visitors to read more reviews.

  • Show review link
  • Review link label
  • Review link destination

Colors

  • Background color
  • Text color

Validation and common issues

  • If location-specific is enabled, at least one location must be selected.
  • If show more is enabled, the expanded count should be greater than the initial count.
  • If reviews do not appear, the most common cause is missing review data for the selected locations.
  • Home page: all locations, 2 initial, show more enabled, rating threshold 4
  • Location page: location-specific enabled, 2 initial, show more enabled
