Managing Google Widgets in Website Builder

With Website Builder, you can dramatically increase the functionality of your website by adding widgets from Google®.

Website Builder lets you insert Google widgets like you would add any content to your Web pages — just click the content block where you want the widget to display, and then insert the widget.

Once you add a Google widget, you can customize it to fit the look and purpose of your website. You can adjust the Google widget's settings, and you can also change visual elements, such as size and color.

Get started by selecting the Google widget you want and adding it to a Web page. Then, edit the widget to make the changes you want.

NOTE: Google widgets are available only with Deluxe and Premium Website Builder accounts.
