This widget empowers you to seamlessly integrate Google reviews directly onto your website, providing valuable insights and social proof to your visitors. With customizable options, you can showcase the overall rating alongside icons tailored to your brand’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer to display the title dynamically or customize it to suit your needs.

Users can also be redirected from your site to write reviews. Additionally, you can display or hide the reviewer’s name, review text, and all features, granting you control over the level of detail shown.

Additionally, a convenient button allows users to access the full review on Google effortlessly. Whether you prefer displaying reviews through icons or numerically, this widget offers versatile styling options and customization features for every element.
