WeWidget – Reviews Widget for Google

WeWidget shows your real Google reviews on your WordPress site — carousel, grid, list, hero or a compact star-rating badge.

Set-up takes about a minute and doesn’t need a Google login: search for your business by name on wewidget.app, copy your widget ID into this plugin’s settings, and add the [wewidget] shortcode to any page.

Why WeWidget?

• Unlimited page views on every plan — your widget never gets deactivated for traffic
• Free forever rating badge — real star rating + review count, no card required
• Fast — one small ~15 KB script, no external fonts, Shadow DOM isolation (your theme’s CSS stays untouched), lazy-loads below the fold
• SEO rich snippets — schema.org AggregateRating markup, eligible for gold stars under your site in Google search results
• Auto-sync — new reviews appear automatically every day
• No Google login needed — connect by business name; optionally connect Google later for your full review history
• UK-based support

How it works

1. Create a free account at wewidget.app
2. Find your business by name — your rating and latest reviews are pulled in automatically
3. Copy your widget ID into Settings → WeWidget
4. Add [wewidget] to any page, post or widget area

For a floating badge on every page, tick ”Show site-wide” in the plugin settings and pick the floating style in your WeWidget dashboard.

External services

This plugin connects to WeWidget (wewidget.app), a review-widget service, to display your Google reviews.

• What it loads: on pages where a widget is rendered, the plugin loads the embed script from https://app.wewidget.app/widget.js, which then fetches your widget’s review data from https://app.wewidget.app/api/widget-mock/{your-widget-id}.
• What is sent: the widget ID you configured, and standard web request data from the site visitor’s browser (IP address, user agent, and the page’s origin domain). Anonymous view/click counts are recorded for your widget analytics. No personal data about your visitors is stored.
• When: only on front-end pages where the widget is actually embedded (via the shortcode or the site-wide option). No data is sent from your WordPress admin.
• Service provider: WeWidget — Terms of Service · Privacy Policy

A free WeWidget account is required to obtain a widget ID.
