The plugin is designed for small businesses, local businesses, service providers,
agencies, and website owners who want a simple way to display customer reviews, 
testimonials, or selected 5-star feedback on a WordPress website.

This plugin does not connect to Google, scrape Google reviews, use the Google Places

or WordPress admin.
