Question 1

How do I show Google reviews on a WooCommerce site?

Accepted Answer

Use a review widget that imports your Google Business Profile reviews and paste its embed code into a Custom HTML block on a page, or into a template part such as the footer in Appearance › Editor on a block theme.

Question 2

Will Google reviews on my site give me stars in search results?

Accepted Answer

No. Google's guidelines exclude self-serving reviews for businesses, including embedded Google Business review widgets, and say not to aggregate reviews from other websites. Product review stars come from your own product reviews marked up on the product page.

Question 3

Does WooCommerce already add review schema?

Accepted Answer

WooCommerce outputs product structured data, including aggregate rating and review markup from its own product reviews, and SEO plugins can extend it. Check with the Rich Results Test before adding anything that emits more rating markup.

Question 4

Can I use a plugin instead of embed code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many WordPress plugins display Google reviews. The same rules apply: credit reviewers, link to the source, describe your selection and don't add rating markup built from Google reviews.

Question 5

Can I show only positive Google reviews?

Accepted Answer

You can curate, but label the selection and link to all reviews. Presenting a filtered set as representative can mislead, and in the UK can breach the DMCC Act's rules on reviews.
