Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GR Widget

No. The free WordPress plan works standalone (up to 3 widgets, one domain, weekly sync, 5 layouts, up to 10 reviews per widget, unlimited views). Link a free GRWidget.com account when you want to customise widgets in the full-featured web builder, manage them in the web dashboard, or upgrade for more capacity. Linking does not require a paid plan.

Yes. Link your WordPress site to a GRWidget.com account (Account → WordPress), then open any widget in the hosted builder. Upgrade to paid to unlock more widgets and features.

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 use the GR Widget Gutenberg block and enter your widget key. 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.

You cannot create additional widgets until you link a paid plan, but existing widgets and shortcodes keep working. There is no trial expiry and no lockout of widgets you already created.

The free tier includes five layouts. Additional layouts are available on paid GRWidget.com plans. Locked layout cards in wp-admin are marketing previews only — they are not disabled plugin code. Upgrade links open GRWidget.com in your browser; no in-plugin payments are offered.

Open GR Widget → Account. Generate an API token at GRWidget.com, paste it in the plugin, and your site will be linked to your paid plan. Or use the View plans link to compare plans on GRWidget.com.

Existing embeds on your public site continue to load from GRWidget.com when visitors view pages. wp-admin may show a connection notice until the service is reachable again. Cached plan limits are used when available.
