What the author says it does

Widgets for Google Reviews by Trustindex is a free Google reviews widget plugin for WordPress. It displays the reviews from your Google Business Profile on your website in responsive slider, grid, list and badge layouts. Connect your Google Business Profile in seconds, no Google API key required, and place the widget with a shortcode.

Google reviews are one of the most powerful ways for local businesses to build trust and increase sales. Customers read them before they call, book, or buy, so showing those reviews on your own website puts that proof exactly where the decision is made.

Questions the author answers

Do I need a Trustindex account to use the plugin?

No. You can connect your Google Business Profile, choose a layout and add the shortcode without creating a Trustindex account. Trustindex Professional is a separate service; its paid features are optional.

What is included in the free version?

Up to 10 Google reviews in one widget, 45 widget layouts and 10+ pre-designed styles, filtering by rating, hiding individual reviews, displaying owner replies, reviewer-name display controls, 52 languages, dark theme support and a shortcode that works in any page builder. The free plugin has no time limit or widget-view limit.

Do I need a Google API key?

No. The plugin fetches reviews from your public Google Business Profile. You do not need an API key, a Google Cloud project or a billing account.

How do I add the Google reviews widget to my site?

After setup, the plugin gives you a shortcode. Paste it into any page or post, or into any page builder: Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, SiteOrigin or the Classic editor. The widget adapts to the width of the container you place it in.

Can I choose which reviews are displayed?

Yes. You can filter by minimum star rating, hide individual reviews, show or hide the owner’s reply, and anonymize reviewer names. All of this is done in the plugin settings, without touching any code.

Do the reviews update automatically?

In the free version, reviews are fetched when you set up the widget and stored locally in your WordPress database. You can manually refresh them every 10 days from the My Reviews tab. With a Trustindex Professional account, your widget automatically updates.
