The tool
What is a Google review badge?
A Google review badge is a small graphic that displays your star rating and review count — "4.8 ★ · 387 Google Reviews" — anywhere a customer might hesitate: your website header, a landing page, a printed menu, a proposal, an email signature. It compresses your entire review history into one glanceable trust signal.
It works because the number is earned. Anyone can paste a generic "trusted business" icon on their site; a specific rating with a specific review count is a claim a customer can verify in one search, and that verifiability is exactly what makes it persuasive.
This generator pulls your live rating and review count straight from Google (or you can type them manually), renders the badge in three styles, and exports a high-resolution PNG that stays crisp on retina screens and in print.
Trust badges
Earned badges vs. generic trust badges
Searching for trust badges surfaces pages of padlock icons and "satisfaction guaranteed" seals. The honest hierarchy:
Earned, verifiable badges
A real rating with a real review count, checkable on Google in seconds. This is the strongest badge a small business can display, and it's free — you already earned it.
Platform badges
Payment and security marks (the card logos, SSL padlocks) still matter at checkout, where the anxiety is about money, not quality.
Generic seals
Decorative "trusted" and "guaranteed" icons with no verifiable source behind them. Customers have learned to tune them out — and a savvy one reads them as filler.
The rule
Show badges a skeptical customer could verify. If clicking or searching the claim would prove it true, display it; if it would prove nothing, it's decoration.
Quick start
How to make and use your review badge
-
01
Pull your live numbers
Search your business above and the badge fills with your actual Google rating and review count. No profile access needed — it's your public data.
-
02
Pick a style and download
Light, dark, or brand blue. The PNG exports at 3× resolution, so it stays sharp on any screen and survives print.
-
03
Place it where doubt lives
Next to your booking button, on the pricing page, in your email signature, on the menu's back page. The badge belongs wherever a customer silently asks "are they actually good?"
-
04
Regenerate as you grow
The badge is a snapshot. When your rating climbs or your review count doubles, come back and export the updated number — improving numbers are the best kind of maintenance.
Keep it honest
The one rule: the badge must match reality
Because the fields are editable (so you can badge a Yelp or Facebook rating too), the tool will render whatever numbers you type. Use your real ones. A badge that says 4.9 when your profile says 4.1 isn't marketing — it's a trap you set for yourself, discovered by every customer who checks, and they do check.
The productive version of that instinct: if your real rating isn't badge-worthy yet, fix the pipeline that feeds it. Our free review link generator and review cards make asking easy, the review calculator shows exactly how many 5-star reviews you need to reach your target, and FeedbackRobot automates the whole ask-collect-respond loop.
Frequently asked questions
Is it okay to display a Google review badge on my website?
Yes — displaying your own rating and review count is standard practice. One caution: don't imitate Google's logo or branding on the badge (that's trademark territory). This generator uses plain text attribution — your number, your count, and the words "Google Reviews" — which is the safe, honest format.
Where does the rating data come from?
From Google's own Places API — the same public rating and review count shown on your Google Business Profile. Search your business and the badge fills automatically; no login or profile access required.
Does the badge update automatically as I get reviews?
No — it's an image, so it shows the numbers from the day you generated it. That's fine in print and signatures; for your website, regenerate every month or two. If you want live, self-updating proof, pair it with FeedbackRobot's Spotlight feedback wall or the free Google Reviews Widget.
Can I make a badge for Yelp, Facebook, or TripAdvisor ratings?
Yes — the rating and count fields are fully editable, so you can enter numbers from any platform. Just make sure the numbers match what's publicly visible on that platform.
What size and format is the download?
A transparent-edge PNG exported at 3× resolution (1080×288 pixels for the standard badge) — crisp on retina screens, scalable down for email signatures, and clean enough for print menus and proposals.
Want the reviews behind the number on display too?
