How to install a Google Reviews widget on your website
A widget for reviews is a simple and free way to show the feedback of your customers on your site. The widget can be used on multiple pages or a single one of your website in order to display customer feedback and generate leads.
Your Google Review Widget not only displays reviews but also has an active button which allows users to directly post their own Google reviews. It also displays your star rating average and the total number of reviews.
Customizing your Google Reviews Widget
You can easily customize your review widget's appearance to match the aesthetics and message of your brand. You can even select from predefined options and layouts including sidebar, Grid or Slider.
What You Must Do
Step 1: Connect your Google Account
First, enter your Google account name and location to connect the Google Review Widget. You can copy the Place ID Code from your Google Business once you find it. Place ID is then pasted into the Widget Connection field of the plugin's editor.
Optional. If you'd like to keep the plugin updated, you can enter the Google API code from your Google profile. This key will be used to verify your Google review widget and update it when new reviews are added.
Once your review widget is live, you can start requesting reviews on your product pages. These reviews will be verified automatically via email, and sorted by aggregateRating to improve search engine visibility.
Use the metadata collected at order creation to allow customers to filter reviews according to customer, order, and/or product fields. This will enable customers to easily find the reviews they want, and improve your site's search ranking.
Choose the look and feel of your widget
For customizing your widget you can select an avatar and upload a star in the color you want. We have already prepopulated a gallery for you. You can also request the Flockler developers or team to add fully customized styles.
