Embedder for Google Reviews Pro

Embedder for Google Reviews Pro shows Google Business Profile reviews in WordPress widgets. The paid version includes access to all reviews for a business, filters, premium designs, and additional customization settings.

Choose which reviews appear

The free version shows up to 20 reviews; Pro can pull all reviews for a business. Use the rating filter to display 4-star or 5-star reviews. The word filter searches review text for selected terms, including positive words, and filters the results.

Set the layout and style

Display reviews in a slider for sequential browsing or in a grid. Pro adds premium designs and settings for customizing the widget, and designs can also be adjusted with CSS. Dummy content is available to test the display when reviews are not yet available.

Add reviews to a WordPress page

Install and activate the plugin, search for your local business in its interface, click “Pull reviews,” save, then paste the shortcode into a page or post. The shortcode can also be used with supported editors and page builders, including Divi, Classic Editor, Gutenberg, Page Origin, Beaver Builder, and WPBakery.

Reviews can be retrieved from Google My Business or Google Business Profile, update automatically, and are saved in the WordPress database. Product information says setup does not require a Google API key, Google Places API key, or Google Place ID.

Review retrieval and data

The extension uses an external service provided by its developer to retrieve reviews. Product information says the service receives the Google Place ID, administrator email, and Freemius installation ID. It says the email is used to notify the administrator of potential service outages and is not stored or used for another purpose.
