Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

⭐ WP Business Reviews

While the Reviews Block for Google can help you display your Google reviews on your website for free, we have an even better solution for you!

WP Business Reviews is a significant upgrade to our free reviews blocks for Google and Yelp. With WP Business Reviews (WPBR), you can display reviews from many platforms, including:

  • Google
  • Yelp
  • Facebook
  • WooCommerce
  • Zomato
  • Trustpilot

When you use WP Business Reviews, you also gain more control over the style of your displayed reviews as well as which reviews you show. WPBR also allows you to mix and match your reviews across platforms. So, your Google and WooCommerce reviews can be displayed right alongside your Facebook and Yelp reviews.
