ReviewPanel Ratings for Google Reviews

ReviewPanel Ratings for WordPress is a plugin designed to display Google Business Profile ratings and review counts on WordPress websites. It allows site owners to embed a rating badge using a block or shortcode, presenting their business name, star rating, review count, and an optional 'Leave a Review' call to action. The plugin supports various layouts, such as compact badge, rating card, horizontal, and large styles, making it adaptable for different areas of a website including homepages, service pages, footers, contact, or location pages.

To set up the badge, users paste a Google Maps URL or a ReviewPanel badge ID, choose a layout, and embed the badge on their site. The plugin also offers a Showcase widget variant that can display highlighted reviews from consenting customers. For those managing multiple business locations, ReviewPanel supports multi-location dashboards, allowing comparison and trend analysis across locations.

Beyond simply displaying ratings, the platform provides tools for tracking Google reviews, detecting deleted reviews, monitoring rating trends, exporting review data, and managing review information across multiple locations. Features available on paid plans include faster refresh rates, deleted review detection, analytics, exports, Geo-Grid tracking for local visibility, domain validation to restrict badge embedding, and branding controls. Free badges may include ReviewPanel branding, while paid plans offer more customization.

The plugin connects to the ReviewPanel service to create, configure, and display badges, and may send data such as the Google Maps URL, badge ID, site domain, and plugin version for compatibility and support purposes. Users can start with a free account to generate and manage rating badges, with the option to upgrade as their review management needs grow. ReviewPanel is not affiliated with Google but is built to work with Google Business Profile review data.
