Free site ranking plugin
Paul Ryley developed Site Reviews. Use the plugin to set up a system for visitors to review your website and submit a rating out of five stars. It’s compatible with WordPress 5.5 and up. It supports PHP version 5.6.20 and higher. You can download it free in seven languages.
This plugin works with blocks, shortcodes, and widgets. You can pin your best reviews on top so that visitors always see them first. Then, you can set up approval for new entries and send notifications for recent listings. Alternative options include Taqyeem, Starfish Reviews, and WP Customer Reviews.
Key features
The plugin allows you to assign reviews to posts, pages, and custom page types and display them in categories. With the free WooCommerce add-on, it can integrate with your WooCommerce store.
Site Reviews uses avatars from the WordPress Gravatar service and integrates with WP privacy tools. With the blacklist function, you can block them with keywords, phrases, and more that you specify. If you set up approval before publishing, you can choose the email addresses to receive notifications.
With the WP_Query, you use the bayesian algorithm to sort views according to rank. Ensure that you never lose any reviews by using the WordPress export tool to make a backup and restore it with an import.
Customization options
The plugin is simple to use since it integrates with Gutenberg blocks and also supports Elementor. You can customize your review form to match popular themes or current forms on your site. Additionally, set it up as members only so that customers must log in to leave a review.
The use of the JSON-LD Schema means that reviews and ratings also display in search results. Make sure to select the number to show per page to reduce speed issues.
Other features
The plugin also offers other features like:
- Display review summaries sorted from high to low.
- Choose a date format and write responses to your reviews.
- It offers Rest API, restrictions, shortcodes, spam protection, and Slack integration.
- Templates for complete HTML control and configurable widgets.
