Prerequisites

Before you embed your widget, you need two things:

  • Your Embeddy embed code. Log in to your dashboard at https://embeddy.ai/dashboard, open your widget, and copy the iframe embed code. It looks like this:
<iframe
  src="https://embeddy.ai/webhost/WIDGET_ID?widget_props_id=PROPS_ID"
  width="100%"
  height="500"
  frameborder="0"
></iframe>
  • A GoDaddy account with Website Builder access. You need to be able to edit your site in the GoDaddy Website Builder (also known as Websites + Marketing).

HTML Section

GoDaddy Website Builder includes an HTML section type that allows you to add custom code — including iframes — to any page. This is the primary method for embedding an Embeddy widget.

  1. 1

    Open the GoDaddy Website Builder

    Log in to your GoDaddy account, go to My Products, and click Edit Site next to your website.

  2. 2

    Navigate to the page you want to edit

    In the editor, select the page where you want the widget to appear from the page navigation.

  3. 3

    Add an HTML section

    Click Add Section on the page, then scroll through the section types and select "HTML" (sometimes labeled "Custom Code" or found under the "More" category).

  4. 4

    Paste your embed code

    Click on the HTML section and paste your Embeddy iframe embed code into the Custom Code text area. The editor may show a preview of the embedded content.

  5. 5

    Publish your site

    Click Publish in the top-right corner to make the changes live. Visit your site to verify the widget loads.

Tip: You can drag the HTML section up or down to reposition it relative to other sections on the page. Place it where you want the widget to appear in the page flow.

Important: Script restrictions

GoDaddy Website Builder may restrict certain JavaScript code in the HTML section for security reasons. Iframe embeds are generally allowed, but if your code includes external scripts, they may be blocked. The standard Embeddy iframe code works without any scripts.

Code Injection (Header/Footer)

For site-wide code — such as a floating widget or tracking pixel — GoDaddy offers a code injection feature that adds code to the <head> or <footer> of every page.

  1. 1

    Open Site Settings

    In the GoDaddy Website Builder, click Settings in the editor menu.

  2. 2

    Find the code injection fields

    Look for Header Code and Footer Code fields (sometimes under an Advanced or SEO section).

  3. 3

    Paste your code

    For an iframe embed, paste your Embeddy code into the Footer Code field. For meta tags or style overrides, use the Header Code field.

  4. 4

    Save and publish

    Save your settings and publish the site. The code will appear on every page.

Note: The code injection feature may not be available on all GoDaddy plans. If you do not see these fields, use the HTML section method described above for page-specific embeds.

Iframe Embed Code Example

Here is what a complete Embeddy iframe embed looks like for GoDaddy. Copy your specific code from the Embeddy dashboard — the WIDGET_ID and PROPS_ID values will be filled in automatically.

<!-- Embeddy widget embed — paste into GoDaddy HTML section -->
<iframe
  src="https://embeddy.ai/webhost/WIDGET_ID?widget_props_id=PROPS_ID"
  width="100%"
  height="500"
  frameborder="0"
  style="border: none; border-radius: 8px;"
  loading="lazy"
  title="My Embeddy Widget"
></iframe>

You can adjust height to match your widget's content. Use width="100%" to make the embed responsive across all screen sizes.

Troubleshooting

I cannot find the HTML section option

In the GoDaddy Website Builder, click Add Section and look under categories like "More" or scroll to the bottom of the section list. The HTML section may also be labeled "Custom Code" or "Embed Code" depending on your builder version.

The widget shows a blank area

Verify that your Widget ID and Props ID in the embed URL are correct. Open the Embeddy dashboard and copy the embed code fresh. Also confirm your widget is published (not in draft mode) in Embeddy.

The embed code is stripped or modified after saving

GoDaddy may sanitize some HTML for security. Make sure you are using a plain iframe tag without any JavaScript. The standard Embeddy iframe code should work without issues. If the code is still stripped, contact GoDaddy support to confirm iframe support on your plan.

Widget is cut off or too small

Increase the height attribute in your iframe code. A common starting point is height="600". The widget content does not auto-resize by default; set a height large enough to display your widget without scrollbars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does embedding an Embeddy widget slow down my GoDaddy site?

No. Iframes load independently of your main page. The widget loads from Embeddy's servers in a separate browser thread and does not block your page's rendering. Using loading="lazy" in the iframe tag further defers loading until the widget is visible in the viewport.

Can I use the HTML section on all GoDaddy plans?

The HTML section is available on most GoDaddy Website Builder plans. However, some older or basic plans may have restrictions. If you do not see the HTML section option, check your plan details or contact GoDaddy support.

Can I embed the same widget on multiple GoDaddy pages?

Yes — add an HTML section with the same embed code on as many pages as you like. Each instance is independent. If you update the widget in the Embeddy dashboard, all embedded instances update automatically.
