A WordPress plugin for creating widgets to display Google reviews
Widget for Google Reviews allows you to place widgets with Google reviews on your website. It shows visitors your review count and gives you the option to display testimonials on your WordPress site.
The Google review widget sits beautifully on your WordPress website in the same way as the Sparkling Theme does. It's decorative but serves a purpose. The plugin can help showcase your authenticity and build trust with customers.
How can I get a widget for Google reviews?
The easiest and most direct way is to download Widget for Google Reviews from the WordPress Plugin Repository. You can also try other similar apps, such as Everest or WP Google Review Slider.
How do I add reviews to my website?
If you want to add Google reviews to your website, Widget for Google Reviews streamlines the process. This simple app lets you add them to your site easily. First, sign in to your Google My Business account. Then, it only takes one simple click to share your reviews on pages or posts using the widget's embedding option.
How do I add a Google review widget?
Using the same sharing feature mentioned above, you'll also have the option to add a widget for Google reviews. You only need to paste your review links into the widget. Then, embed the auto-generated code snippet through the admin dashboard into the theme or web page.
Infrequent updates
There are two noticeable downsides of this plugin. Firstly, the app doesn't update the reviews in real-time, so it might not show all your current Google reviews. Secondly, the plugin isn't compatible with several dynamic themes, so make sure to perform a backup before installing this plugin.
Exaggerated counts
The Widget for Google Reviews plugin does just what its name after — displaying your reviews and the count. However, it doesn't show the exact number but instead rounds up to the nearest tenth, hundredth, or thousandth. Since the exaggerated Google review count doesn't round down, it's not a major deal-breaker.
