Jotform – Widgets for Google Reviews

Display Google reviews on your WordPress website with Jotform’s customizable Google reviews widget. Search for your business or paste a Google Maps link, choose a layout, and preview your reviews directly in the WordPress admin.

Start designing and previewing your widget before connecting a Jotform account. When you’re ready to publish, connect with Jotform and add your saved widget to a page or post using the Gutenberg block or shortcode. No coding required.

Match the widget to your website with layout, color, font, and theme controls. Enable automatic review syncing on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, and optionally generate an AI summary of your reviews.

💬 What does the Jotform Widgets for Google Reviews plugin do?

The plugin retrieves publicly available reviews from your selected Google business listing and displays them in a responsive widget on your WordPress site.

External services

This plugin connects to Jotform services to authenticate your Jotform account, create and manage review widgets, retrieve your saved widgets, and load the published widget on your site.

When an administrator publishes a configured widget, the plugin opens Jotform OAuth at https://www.jotform.com/api/oauth.php. The request includes the plugin client name and your WordPress site URL as the OAuth referrer so Jotform can authorize the connection and return an API key. The in-progress widget configuration and preview review data are retained locally through authorization and used to create the widget after the administrator returns.

In the plugin admin, the widget builder connects to Jotform API endpoints such as https://api.jotform.com/website-widgets, https://api.jotform.com/website-widgets/mywidgets, and https://api.jotform.com/user/combinedinfo. If your account uses EU, HIPAA, or Enterprise settings, equivalent Jotform regional or enterprise endpoints may be used. These requests send the connected Jotform API key, widget IDs, widget configuration values, and selected review source details when you create, edit, list, preview, or delete widgets.

On the public site, the shortcode and block load the published widget script from the connected Jotform site, for example https://www.jotform.com/website-widgets/embed/{widget_id} or the configured regional or enterprise Jotform domain. The browser sends the widget ID and normal web request data such as IP address, user agent, and referrer to Jotform so the widget can be rendered.
