Google Reviews Widget

Display real Google reviews. Build trust. Win more clients.

93% of consumers say online reviews influence their purchase decision. Yet most business websites don't show their Google reviews at all — they send visitors off-site to find them. This plugin fixes that.

TWDH Google Reviews Widget connects directly to the Google Places API and pulls your reviews into WordPress automatically. The cache system means your site never slows down, and because everything renders server-side, it works with any page builder and theme out of the box.

The free version gives you everything a small business needs. The Pro version unlocks unlimited reviews, a carousel layout, multi-location support, and Schema.org JSON-LD markup so Google can display your star rating directly in search results.

Features

Built for professionals

No bloat. No surprises. Just the features that matter.

No third-party services

Your reviews pull directly from Google. No middleman subscriptions, no data sharing.

Key Feature

Works with any theme

Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Gutenberg, and classic PHP themes all supported.

Performance-first

Reviews are cached server-side. The CSS only loads on pages that display the widget.

Features

Everything it can do

A complete breakdown of every capability — free and Pro.

Live Google Reviews Feed

Pull your real Google reviews directly onto any WordPress page via your Google Place ID. No manual copy-paste, no outdated quotes — visitors always see your most recent ratings exactly as they appear on Google.

Four Layout Options

Choose from a grid, list, masonry, or carousel layout. Each layout is fully responsive and renders cleanly on mobile, tablet, and desktop without any theme conflicts.

Smart Caching — Zero Slowdown

Reviews are fetched from Google and stored in your WordPress database. Visitors get fast page loads from cached HTML. The cache auto-refreshes on a configurable schedule so your latest 5-star reviews always appear.

Review Schema Markup

The plugin outputs AggregateRating JSON-LD structured data so Google may display your star rating directly in search results. More stars in search = higher click-through rates without extra ad spend.

Minimum Star Filter

Set a minimum star threshold — show only 4-star and 5-star reviews, or display everything. Your choice. This keeps the display focused on your strongest social proof without hiding reviews on Google itself.

Shortcode & Widget Ready

Drop [twdh_reviews] on any page, post, or sidebar widget. Works inside Elementor text widgets, Divi modules, Bricks HTML elements, and Gutenberg Shortcode blocks.

Multiple Location Support (Pro)

Running more than one business location? Pro lets you add multiple Place IDs and display separate review feeds per location — each with its own shortcode, layout, and minimum star filter.

Click-to-Google CTA (Pro)

Add a 'Write a Review' button beneath the widget that links directly to your Google review page. Pro makes it one-click for customers to leave you a new review after reading existing ones.

What people are saying

5.0 average from early users

"We had 140+ Google reviews and they were invisible on our website. This plugin fixed that in 10 minutes. Our conversion rate went up noticeably within the first month."

Marcus T.

Owner, Miami Dental Group

"I install this on every client site now. The grid layout looks professional, it's dead simple to configure, and clients love seeing their reviews displayed. Pro is absolutely worth it for the carousel."

Stephanie R.

Web Designer, Tampa FL

"Super easy setup. My 4.9-star rating now shows on the homepage and I get comments from new customers saying it's what convinced them to call. Couldn't be simpler."

Jason K.

Owner, Coastal HVAC Services
