Google integration

I can’t comment on this specific plugin as I haven’t used it before. I have used similar ones before though.

I am trying to understand if Google local will grab these reviews

“There are many sites that are crawling for user-generated reviews now, including Google Places and Google Local Search.“

I would assume that would be a yes.

and if so how that works (I don’t need too many technical details)

“WP Customer Reviews allows you to setup a specific page on your blog to receive customer testimonials for your business/service OR to write reviews about multiple products (using multiple pages).”

More or less, it uses Google’s API’s when posting and fetching reviews.

Here’s another plugin you can try if it doesn’t work – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/google-places-reviews/

Thank you Oxiclean,

I am trying to get a definite answer on this one because google itself is not the most approachable of parties and in this forum I see people addressing issues regarding google integration and never get an answer. I quite don’t know what to think.

The plugin you suggest looks very good, but it only grabs google+ reviews, I am trying to install and use a plugin through which my customers can post reviews, and hopefully those same reviews will appear on google local (all the syncing has been already done as far as setting up a google+ page for this local business and verifying emails, websites etc.).

If anyone has recommendations for a plugin, free or not, please drop a line here, it would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks!

I love this plugin, and it works. Google is reading the reviews generated from the plugin.

We have been using the plugin for about a year and a half. Today when I playing around with our google+ page for our business I saw this.

I’m not sure google is showing this information anywhere. But the reviews are there.

Our reviews.

At this point we do have 9 google+ reviews. The 12 is an interesting number. I wonder why google is acknowledging in only 12 of the 37 reviews we have so far?
