Description
People who land on your site don’t know you yet. Before they book a visit, call or send a request, they want to see what other clients say. Those reviews live on Yandex Maps, 2GIS and other platforms, not on your site, and a visitor who leaves to check them may not come back.
RLab Reviews Widget puts those reviews on your pages. Someone reading about a haircut, a dental check-up or a personal training session sees what real clients wrote about you, next to the booking button.
What you get
- Reviews from 18 platforms in one widget: Yandex Maps, 2GIS, Google Maps, VK, Avito, ProDoctorov, Zoon, Otzovik, Flamp and others.
- Reviews are updated automatically once a day. No copying reviews by hand.
- Three widget types: a reviews feed (carousel, grid or list), a minimal rating and a compact star rating.
- Show only 4–5 star reviews, hide ratings without text, or hide any single review in your ReviewLab account.
- A design editor and custom CSS to match your site. The mobile view has its own settings.
- A short AI summary of your reviews at the top of the widget (Medium plan and up, from 10 reviews).
- One widget covers the whole site: put it on as many pages as you like.
How it works in WordPress
- Paste the embed code from your ReviewLab account once.
- The widget appears on every page before the footer, or before any element you pick by CSS selector. Exclude pages like the cart or checkout in the settings.
- Prefer to choose the spot yourself? Use the
[reviewlab_widget]shortcode, the “RLab Reviews Widget” block or the sidebar widget. - Your hosting doesn’t collect or store any reviews: the widget script loads reviews in the visitor’s browser from ReviewLab servers.
- Works with page caching plugins: the code on the page is the same for every visitor.
Try it free
The plugin is free. The widget needs a ReviewLab account: 14 days free, no card required. After the trial, plans start at 242 RUB per month on yearly billing.
Third-party service
The widget loads its script and your reviews from app.reviewlab.ru (ReviewLab). Terms of use, privacy policy. The plugin itself sends no data from your server.
