Your Business

Free badges add Google rating trust signals to your site. A free ReviewPanel account also includes basic analytics, a 90-day trend for one selected location, one published showcase page with ReviewPanel attribution, basic CSV exports, one branded summary PDF opening per month, and 3 attributed review-image downloads per month.
ReviewPanel paid plans add faster refreshes, deleted review detection, detailed analytics, image downloads without attribution, advanced exports, and Geo-Grid tracking.

Do I need a ReviewPanel account?
You can create a free ReviewPanel account to generate and manage your rating badge.

Make sense of your result
Choose the right Google rating badge for WordPress
Use the ReviewPanel Ratings plugin when you want to place a managed rating badge through a WordPress block or shortcode. Use the static generator when a saved snapshot is sufficient.
How to use this tool
- Install ReviewPanel Ratings from WordPress.org.
- Configure the plugin with your business Maps URL or supported rating badge ID.
- Place the block or shortcode, choose a layout, and preview the published page.
The WordPress plugin is free. A free ReviewPanel account can create and manage a rating badge. Plan limits and refresh schedules apply.
A rating badge beside your contact details
- Placement
- A business contact page or location-specific landing page
- What visitors see
- The matching business name, Google rating, review count, and review link
- Multi-location sites
- Use the badge for the location described on that page.
What to do with the result
A location-specific badge gives visitors context. Check the layout with your WordPress theme and confirm that the review link points to the intended business.
What this tool can tell you
This plugin displays rating information rather than a complete feed of Google review text. Refresh frequency depends on the managed badge and plan. It does not guarantee search-result stars.
When should I use a static widget instead?
Choose a static widget when you can regenerate the code yourself as the rating changes. Choose a managed badge when you want scheduled updates.
Will the plugin add Google stars to my search result?
Displaying a rating on your website does not guarantee a review rich result. Google’s eligibility rules and search systems determine that appearance.
