How to Add Google Reviews Widget to Drupal in 5 minutes

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. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and you can upgrade as your review volume grows.

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.

WiserReview is Google review management software that collects, moderates, and displays your Google reviews in one place.

Here’s how to bring your Google reviews in and put them on your site.

From the dashboard:

Go to → Manage review section and click on the “Import” button.

From the list, choose “Google” to pull reviews from your Business Profile, “Google Place” for a public listing, 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. Click “Manage” or “Add widget” on the one you need.

Carousels, sliders, trust badges, and review walls all work with Google reviews.

For example, pick the “Review wall” widget.

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 open the widget, 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.

Use the style settings to match the widget to your site’s colors and fonts.

Now, once it’s done, click “Install” and pick your platform, or use the Custom tab for any other site.

• Platform tabs: WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, PrestaShop, Ecwid, and Shift4Shop each have their own install steps.
• Custom: add the pixel code to your site once, then paste the widget code where the reviews should appear.

Now the widget is live and ready to build trust and drive conversions.

We use the same widget on the WiserReview and WiserNotify sites.

Here is an example of it:

WiserReview also handles the rest of your Google review work.

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.
• Send the same request to every customer. Google’s review policy doesn’t allow asking only happy customers for reviews.

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 WiserReview webhook API to automate the process. That way, review requests go out through the channels you already use.

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

• Automatically select positive sentiment reviews.
• Publish them live on your site.
• Convert these reviews into graphics and post them on your social media channels.

This enhances customer trust and promotes positive feedback across platforms.
