Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Google Review Slider

Yes. After you download reviews from Google, they are saved in your WordPress database on your own server. Your site displays those stored reviews locally instead of calling Google every time someone visits a page, which helps pages load faster.

Yes. Many review plugins only work well for businesses with a street address. This plugin also supports service area businesses, so you can download and display Google reviews even if your business does not have a public storefront address.

Yes. You can add multiple Google locations and download reviews from each one. This makes it much easier to manage multi-location businesses than many other Google review plugins.

You can find your Place ID using the official Google Place ID Finder tool, or search for your business directly on the plugin's Get Google Reviews page.

Yes. In your template settings you can set a minimum rating so only the reviews you want to show are displayed.

We are always looking for features to add. Just post on the support forum or contact us on the bottom of this page.
