GoDaddy Website Builder Testimonials Embed
GoDaddy’s Websites + Marketing builder takes custom code through an HTML section with a Custom Code field, and GoDaddy places that code inside an iframe. An iframe is its own small page, so the StoryProof div and the script have to travel together in the same section, and the result is best judged on the published site.

Code for GoDaddy
One HTML section, both lines
Enter your widget id and copy the pair. Because GoDaddy wraps the section in an iframe, a script placed anywhere else cannot reach this div.
An HTML section on the page
Websites + Marketing › Manage › builder › Add Section › search HTML › Custom Code
<div data-storyproof-widget="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"></div>
<script src="https://app.storyproof.io/embed.js" async></script>Publish, then open the live site in a private window. Check the widget on a phone: GoDaddy notes that framed embeds may not resize the way the original content does.
Your widget id is only used to fill in the code above.
The problem, solved
GoDaddy builder headaches, and the StoryProof side
- Problem 1
Script in one place, div in another
Advice written for other builders says to load scripts once in a footer, but GoDaddy’s builder has no such box and frames each section.
How StoryProof solves it
The StoryProof embed is just two lines, the div and the async script, so keeping them together in a single Custom Code field is easy.
- Problem 2
The widget looks squashed in its box
A tall wall of cards inside a framed section can end up cut off or scrolling inside itself.
How StoryProof solves it
Pick a compact layout, such as a carousel or a single row, which fits a fixed-height frame better than a long wall.
- Problem 3
Clients prefer talking to typing
A plumber’s or tutor’s customers will say lovely things on the phone and then never write them down.
How StoryProof solves it
Send one link where they can record a short video, leave an audio note or type a few lines, with nothing to install.
- Problem 4
Only the right reviews on the home page
A local business wants its strongest, most relevant stories up front, not everything that arrives.
How StoryProof solves it
Every submission waits for your approval, and you decide which approved testimonials each widget holds.
- Problem 5
Is anyone sending testimonials at all?
Without a view of what has come in, owners forget to follow up and the section stays stale.
How StoryProof solves it
Every plan includes an analytics dashboard, a regular place to check in on your account between requests.
In StoryProof
Add it in Websites + Marketing
Step 1 of 4
Prepare a compact widget
Choose a layout that suits a framed section and add the approved testimonials you want shown.
Step 2 of 4
Open the builder
In your GoDaddy account, go to Websites + Marketing and select Manage next to the site to open the builder.
Step 3 of 4
Add an HTML section
Go to the page and position, add a section, search for HTML and select Add. Paste both StoryProof lines into the Custom Code field.
Step 4 of 4
Publish and view the live page
Third-party guides report that framed code may not appear in edit or preview mode. Publish and check the real address on desktop and phone.
GoDaddy compared with builders that have a footer box
Before you start
GoDaddy limits
Framed, so not fully responsive
GoDaddy says embeds inside its iframe may not be responsive even when the original content is. Test on a phone.
No site-wide code box
Vendor guides report the current builder has no header or footer injection, so the script cannot be loaded once for the whole site.
GoDaddy will not troubleshoot it
GoDaddy says it cannot fix issues with third-party code in an HTML section and warns that custom code can affect the whole site.
If the frame fails
Link a button to your Wall of Love, a hosted page of approved testimonials included on every plan.
Search results, not a live test
GoDaddy’s help pages blocked direct reading, so these steps come from their text in search results on 2026-11-13. Nobody has run them on a live GoDaddy site for this guide.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Short answers to what usually comes up next.
Can I put the script in GoDaddy’s site settings instead?
Not reliably. Guides report no header or footer code box in the current builder, and the iframe means a script outside the section cannot reach the div.
Why is the widget cut off?
The section is a frame with its own height. A compact layout fits better than a tall wall of cards.
Does this work with GoDaddy’s older Website Builder?
This guide follows the Websites + Marketing builder. Older GoDaddy builders had different menus that this guide does not cover.
Is there a StoryProof app in GoDaddy?
No. You paste the embed into an HTML section; there is no GoDaddy integration.
Still have a question? Ask the StoryProof team or book a demo.
