Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GR Widget – Google Reviews Widget

No. Unlinked installs include 1 widget, 5 layouts, 5 reviews available, and monthly sync. Link a free GRWidget.com account for 3 widgets, 22 layouts, and 10 reviews available — still free. Paid plans add unlimited widgets and the remaining layouts (31 on Site, all 34 on Business and Agency). Sync is bi-weekly on Site and daily on Business and Agency. Linking does not require a paid plan.

Open GR Widget → Account and click to create or sign in. Linking is one click — you do not generate or paste an API token. That unlocks 3 widgets, 22 layouts, 10 reviews available, cloud backup, and the hosted builder, still at $0.

Yes. Link your WordPress site from GR Widget → Account (one click), then open any widget in the hosted builder on GRWidget.com. The native Customise screen in wp-admin works without an account.

No. Search for your business by name in wp-admin. GR Widget handles Google data on our servers — your WordPress site never stores API keys.

No. Unlimited views on free and paid plans. Plans are based on domains and features — not page-view metering.

After creating a Google review widget, paste the shortcode into any page, post, or widget area, or insert the GR Widget Gutenberg block and pick one of this site’s widgets from the list (you can still enter a widget key manually). That is the simplest way to embed Google reviews on WordPress without writing code.

On GRWidget.com. The plugin does not download or store review content in WordPress.

Unlinked sites can create 1 widget. Linking a free GRWidget.com account raises that to 3. Paid plans (Site and above) have unlimited widgets. Existing widgets and shortcodes keep working if you hit the current limit — there is no trial expiry and no lockout of widgets you already created.

Unlinked installs include 5 layouts. Linking a free account unlocks 22. Site includes 31 layouts. Business and Agency include all 34. Locked layout cards in wp-admin are marketing previews only — they are not disabled plugin code. Upgrade and link-account links open GRWidget.com in your browser; no in-plugin payments are offered.

Open GR Widget → Account. Link a free account first if you have not already (one click — no API token paste). For paid plans, use View plans in the plugin to compare Site, Business, and Agency on GRWidget.com. After checkout, your linked site picks up the new plan automatically.
