How to show MyBuilder reviews on your website
MyBuilder reviews is your feedback and rating from the MyBuilder trade directory, used by UK builders, plumbers, electricians and home improvement trades. 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 MyBuilder tradesman account, where profile badges and links are available. For most people the right choice is the profile badge — a badge showing your rating, linking to your MyBuilder profile. 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.
MyBuilder reviews: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Profile badge | A badge showing your rating, linking to your MyBuilder profile. |
| Quoted feedback | Short excerpts of your best feedback, quoted on your own page with the customer's first name and job type. |
| Direct profile link | A plain link to your profile for customers who want to read everything. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
MyBuilder reviews keeps this in your MyBuilder tradesman account, where profile badges and links are available. 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 badge: A badge showing your rating, linking to your MyBuilder profile. Quoted feedback: Short excerpts of your best feedback, quoted on your own page with the customer's first name and job type. 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
- ▸Directory reviews live on the directory. Building your own Google review base is worth more long-term because it feeds local search as well as trust.
- ▸Only quote feedback you genuinely received, and attribute it. Invented testimonials are both dishonest and easy to spot.
- ▸MyBuilder leads cost money per lead. Driving customers to your own site and your own quote form removes that cost entirely.
- ▸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
Should I show MyBuilder reviews on my own website?
+−
Yes — proof of completed work is proof wherever it came from, and trade directory feedback is credible because customers know it is tied to a real job. Quote a few of your strongest reviews with the job type, and link to your profile so anyone can verify them.
Is it worth having a website if I get work from MyBuilder?
+−
Yes, and for a specific financial reason: directory leads cost you money every time, whereas someone who finds your own site and calls you costs nothing. The directory is useful for filling gaps; your own site is the part that compounds.
Do I need a developer to add MyBuilder 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 MyBuilder 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.
