A Drupal website needs visible trust signals to convert visitors.
Google Reviews show honest customer feedback and build confidence.
Adding Google Reviews to your Drupal site helps build trust with visitors and drive action.
How to Add Google Reviews to Drupal
Now, let’s see how to add Google reviews to your website or store.
First, sign up for WiserReview. There is a free plan if you are just starting, but there are also upgrades available for medium and enterprise businesses.
Once you sign up for your account, you can see the WiserReview dashboard.
This dashboard is your control center, where you can manage all aspects of your review management. It provides a clear overview of your review collection, moderation, and display processes.
Don’t be overwhelmed. WiserReview is a comprehensive Google review management software that not only helps you add Google reviews but also collects and moderates them.
And the best part? It’s designed to be user-friendly, so you’ll find it easy to navigate and use.
From the dashboard:
Go to → Manage review section and click on the “Import” button.
From there, you have many options to import reviews from, select “Google review” or “Import Reviews via CSV”
Once done, you have a review showing in the manage review section.
Now let’s go to the “Widget” section.
Here, you have a wide range of widgets to choose from. Simply click on “configure” for any widget you need.
Each one is designed to build trust, credibility, and drive more conversions and sales through immediate consumer decision-making.
For example, we chose the “Review wall” widget for our second product.
This widget displays a dynamic wall of your Google reviews, creating a visually appealing and trustworthy display for your potential customers. And yes, we use Wiserreview’s Google review widget for this purpose.
Once you click on configure, you can see the widget customization dashboard. In it, click on “Filter”.
In it, select the “Review source” as Google review or CSV.
Now your review appears on the widget, and you can easily customize the widget to match your brand’s style.
It’s a straightforward process, and we’re confident you’ll find it intuitive and user-friendly.
Now, once it’s done, click on “Install” and choose from any of the three options.
- Javascript – Insert this script where you want the review widget to appear on your website.
- Iframe – Use this iframe code to embed the review widget in a specific section of your site.
- URL – Share this URL to display the review widget on a separate page.
Now the widget is live and ready to build trust and drive conversions.
We are also using this on our site, WiserReview and Wisernotify.
Here is an example of it:
And wait, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what Wiserreview can do for Google review management.
WiserReview can:
1. Automated Review Collection
Create a smart Google review form with the following setup:
- Set up your Google review link.
- Add buttons for easy interaction.
- Display a star rating on the first screen to assess intent. If the rating is low, prompt for feedback. If the rating is high, direct the user to post their review on Google.
WiserReview simplifies the process of requesting Google reviews, automating personalized requests via email, SMS, or other messaging channels, making it easier for businesses to collect reviews.
Integrate the review form link with your existing POS, email, and SMS systems.
You can also post new sales data to the WiserNotify webhook API to automate the process. This streamlines review requests and enhances customer engagement through your existing channels.
2. Centralized Review Management
- Review Aggregation: WiserReview aggregates reviews from various platforms (Google Reviews, Yelp, Facebook, etc.), bringing them into one central dashboard. This helps businesses track their reviews and see insights in real-time.
- Review Monitoring: The platform notifies businesses whenever a new review is posted, allowing them to stay up-to-date with feedback.
- AI reply: WiserReview helps businesses respond to customer reviews automatically with AI.
3. AI-powered review display and sharing
