How to show Bark reviews on your website
Bark reviews is your reviews and profile from the Bark lead marketplace, used by UK and international service professionals using Bark for leads. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from your Bark seller profile, which provides a profile link and shareable review content. For most people the right choice is the profile link — a link to your Bark profile where reviews are visible. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.
Bark reviews: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Profile link | A link to your Bark profile where reviews are visible. |
| Quoted reviews | Excerpts on your own page with the service and first name. |
| Screenshot proof | An image of your rating, which never breaks but is not accessible to screen readers — always include the text too. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
Bark reviews keeps this in your Bark seller profile, which provides a profile link and shareable review content. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Profile link: A link to your Bark profile where reviews are visible. Quoted reviews: Excerpts on your own page with the service and first name. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
Proof works hardest next to the decision, which means beside your contact button rather than in the footer. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — confirm it renders and links correctly — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸Bark charges for credits to respond to leads whether or not you win the work, which makes its true cost per client much higher than it first appears.
- ▸Bark does not offer a first-party website reviews widget, so quoting text and linking is the practical approach.
- ▸Reviews on your own site with your own Google reviews are worth more than a Bark badge to most visitors, who may not know what Bark is.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
Can I put my Bark reviews on my website?
+−
There is no official Bark reviews widget, so quote your best reviews as text on your page with the service type and the customer's first name, and link to your Bark profile so anyone can verify them. That is both permitted and more persuasive than a badge.
Is Bark worth paying for?
+−
It depends heavily on your trade and your conversion rate, because you pay credits to contact leads whether or not you win them. Trades with high job values and fast response times tend to do better. Building your own enquiry flow costs nothing per lead and is the better long-term investment.
Do I need a developer to add Bark reviews to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding Bark reviews slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
