原文外掛簡介
⭐ Show Google reviews on your WordPress site in minutes — no Google API keys, no Google sign-in, and no review data stored in your database.
GR Widget is a Google reviews embed plugin for WordPress: search for your business in wp-admin, pick a layout, and publish with a shortcode or Gutenberg block. Reviews stay fresh because they sync on the GR Widget platform.
No account is required to get started. Link a free GRWidget.com account from GR Widget → Account (one click — no API key copy/paste) to unlock 3 widgets, 8 layouts, 10 reviews available, plus the hosted web builder. Paid plans add unlimited widgets, daily sync, and Business features.
🚀 Unlimited views on every plan — including free. Your widgets are not metered by page views.
Why site owners choose this Google reviews widget
🔑 No Google API keys — search by business name; we handle Google data on our servers
🧩 Shortcode + Gutenberg block — [grwi_widget id="your-key"] or the GR Widget block to embed Google reviews
🎨 4 layouts unlinked / 8 with a free account — badges, review feeds, sliders, stickers (paid plans unlock all 13 layouts, including Carousel feed and Masonry feed)
🎛️ Hosted builder — link a free account and customise plugin widgets in the full builder on GRWidget.com
🔄 Reviews stay fresh — synced on GRWidget.com (weekly on Free and Site; daily on Business and Agency)
🛡️ No local review storage — your WordPress database stays clean
✨ Works standalone — create widgets without an account; link a free account when you need more
Free WordPress plugin (no account required)
✅ Up to 1 Google review widget per site (unlinked)
✅ 4 layouts (Rating Badge, List feed, Slider feed, Classic sticker)
✅ Up to 5 reviews available per business
✅ Weekly review sync
✅ Shortcode and Gutenberg block embeds
✅ Embed script loads only on pages that contain a widget
✅ Unlimited views — no view caps on free or paid
✅ No GR Widget branding on verified official WordPress installs
Link a free GRWidget.com account (still $0)
From GR Widget → Account, click to create or link a free account. No card required. That unlocks:
✅ 3 widgets (instead of 1)

✅ Hosted web builder on GRWidget.com, cloud backup, and the web dashboard
The free tier is a complete, ongoing product — not a time-limited trial. Existing widgets and shortcodes keep working if you hit the current widget limit.

How it works
Install and activate GR Widget
Open GR Widget in wp-admin and search for your business
Pick a layout and create your Google review widget
Paste the shortcode or insert the GR Widget block — done
(Optional) Link a free GRWidget.com account from GR Widget → Account to unlock 3 widgets, 8 layouts, 10 reviews, and the hosted builder

External services
This plugin relies on external services to work. By installing and activating it, you authorize the connections below (similar to Akismet or other SaaS-connected plugins — no separate opt-in checkbox is required because the plugin cannot function without GRWidget.com).
GRWidget.com
What it is: GRWidget.com (operated by EXTHUS LTD) hosts the Google review widget service — API, embed script, review sync, and wp-admin tools.
Used for: Site registration, business search, review sync, widget creation and configuration, plan limits, hosted previews, the style editor, the hosted builder (when you link an account), and serving live embeds on your public site.
When it is contacted:
Plugin activation — registers your WordPress site and retrieves plan limits
wp-admin (GR Widget) — business search, widget create/delete, account linking, plan refresh; layout cards use local miniature previews (no iframes); live preview loads grw-preview.js; widget style editor runs entirely in wp-admin
Widget customisation — colours, fonts, and display options are edited on the native Customise screen in wp-admin (API-backed; no external tabs or iframes). After linking an account, you can also customise the same widgets in the full-featured web builder
Public site — loads grwidget.com/v1/grwidget.js only on pages that contain a GR Widget shortcode or block (not site-wide); the script fetches widget JSON to render review embeds
Background — plan limits may refresh twice daily via WordPress cron
Data sent to GRWidget.com:
Site URL and hostname
Plugin version
Site credentials issued at registration (stored locally in WordPress options)
Business place IDs, names, addresses, ratings, and review counts you select in wp-admin
Widget layout and style configuration choices
API token (only when you choose to link a GRWidget.com account)
Referrer hostname when a visitor loads a widget embed (to verify the widget is used on an allowed domain)
Data not sent by this plugin:
WordPress user passwords or wp-admin login credentials
Unrelated site content or visitor analytics
Payment or billing details (checkout happens on GRWidget.com, not inside the plugin)

Google (business data and review links)
What it is: Google Maps / Google Business Profile — the source of business listings and public Google reviews displayed in widgets.
Used for: Business search results and review content are fetched by GRWidget.com from Google on your behalf. Widgets may also show links such as “View on Google” or “Write a review” that open Google in the visitor’s browser.
When it is involved:
wp-admin — when you search for a business or trigger review sync, your search terms and selected place ID are sent to GRWidget.com, which queries Google server-side (your WordPress site never stores or sends Google API keys)
Public site — review text, ratings, and business details are served from GRWidget.com (originally sourced from Google). Optional Google links appear in the widget UI; data is sent to Google only if a visitor clicks those links and leaves your site
Data sent:
To GRWidget.com (then to Google server-side): business search queries, Google place IDs, and business metadata needed to sync reviews
To Google directly from the visitor’s browser: only when a visitor clicks a Google link in a widget (standard browser navigation; may include referrer URL per the browser’s normal behaviour). The plugin does not call Google APIs from WordPress.
Terms and privacy:
Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google Fonts (optional, visitor browsers)
What it is: Google’s hosted web font service (fonts.googleapis.com), used only when a widget is configured to use a Google Font rather than the site’s inherited/system font.
Used for: Loading the font files that style widget text on the public site.
When it is contacted: When a visitor views a page containing a widget whose style uses a Google Font preset — the hosted grwidget.js embed script injects a stylesheet request to Google Fonts.
Data sent: The visitor’s browser requests font CSS from Google; Google may log the request per its own policies (typically IP address and user-agent). No WordPress user or site-admin data is sent by the plugin for this purpose.
Terms and privacy:

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Other third parties
This plugin does not load third-party advertising or analytics trackers on your public site. Scripts and styles for wp-admin UI (except the GRWidget.com connections above) are bundled in the plugin. Upgrade and account links open GRWidget.com in your browser only when you click them.
