Display Google Reviews on Your WordPress Site in Under 2 Minutes — Stored Locally for Fast Page Speed.

WP Google Review Slider downloads your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business / GMB) reviews and saves them directly in your WordPress database on your own server. Unlike widgets that call external APIs on every page view, your site serves Google reviews locally for instant loading, better Core Web Vitals, full caching compatibility, and a smooth visitor experience.

Whether you run a storefront, a multi-location company, an e-commerce shop, or a service area business (SAB) without a physical street address, this Google reviews WordPress plugin makes it effortless to showcase verified 5-star customer testimonials, customer-uploaded review photos, and a Google rating summary badge anywhere on your site.

Why Choose WP Google Review Slider?

Works With Service Area Businesses (No Address Needed): Many Google review plugins fail when a business hides its street address on Google Maps. WP Google Review Slider supports service area businesses, physical storefronts, and Google Product Reviews.
Multi-Location Download Support: Add multiple Google business locations and download reviews for each location into your WordPress database.
Two Flexible Download Methods:
1. Google Crawl Method: Search for your business or enter a Place ID/search term to download up to 40+ newest or most relevant Google reviews — including customer-uploaded review photos — with no API key required.
2. Official Google Places API: Connect your Google Places API key to download your 5 most helpful or newest reviews and keep them automatically updated every day via cron.
Fast Local Storage (utf8mb4 Emoji Support): Reviews and customer photos are stored locally in WordPress so your pages stay fast and never break if an external service is slow.
Built-In Review Analytics Dashboard: Track your average Google star rating, 1-to-5 star breakdown, review volume timeline, rating trends over time, and positive/negative keyword word clouds right inside wp-admin.

Key Features (Free Version)

Full Design Customization: Customize star colors, verified review badges, reviewer last name format (full name, hidden, or initial), avatar style (real photo, mystery icon, initials, or hidden), Google icon link, font sizes, background/text colors, border radius, and custom CSS.
Advanced Slider & Layout Controls: Configure autoplay, slide speed and delay, show/hide navigation arrows and dots, swipe support on mobile, one-review-per-slide mobile mode, equal-height review cards, and expandable Read More links.
Display Anywhere: Embed unlimited review templates on any page, post, sidebar, or footer using the WP Google Review Slider block, a shortcode, a WordPress widget, or a PHP template function.
WordPress Dashboard Widget: See your latest downloaded Google reviews right on your WordPress admin dashboard.

Why Display Google Reviews on Your WordPress Website?
