Big news for Reviews Feed Pro users! We’ve just made it even simpler to show off customer feedback and grow your sales.
Now, you can easily display Google and Yelp reviews on your website without API keys!
That’s right – for review feeds that get light or moderate use, you don’t need to enter API keys. And for Google, the entire process has been streamlined to be much faster.
Just like that, it’s even easier for you to highlight what your customers love about your business and boost confidence in your brand.
Cheaper Way to Display Yelp Reviews — No Paid API Needed
In the past, creating new review feeds meant using API keys. Think of them like special passwords that let different computer systems talk to each other.
If you want to grab reviews from Yelp and show them on your website, you’d need one of these API keys.
Unfortunately, Yelp started charging for API keys recently, so many of our users had to deal with extra charges.
So, we released this update to help you sidestep these extra costs and create Yelp review feeds even without API keys.
And for those of you using Reviews Feed Pro, your review feeds will automatically be updated – just like before!
Here’s how it works: from your dashboard, open the Reviews Feed » All Feeds menu and click on Add New.
When adding a new source, select the Yelp option and click on Next, just like usual.
Finally, paste the link to your brand’s Yelp page and click on Next – that’s it!
And if you have an API key, you can also enter it here to get faster feed updates and unlimited sources.
Not only does this save you money, you’re also saving time with a faster and streamlined setup.
With our new way of creating Yelp reviews feed, you’ll be able to:
- Promote your small flower shop without breaking the bank by adding customer testimonials to your homepage.
- Instantly add positive review widgets to your online bookstore and boost sales when it’s time for a flash sale.
- Use a Yelp feed to display the consistently high star rating of your restaurant and build trust without connecting any credit cards to Yelp.
Faster Way of Creating Google Review Feeds
Previously, setting up Google review feeds could involve creating a Google Maps Platform project and linking a billing account.
On top of taking more clicks to set up, you also needed to enter your credit card details.
After listening to your feedback, we wanted to streamline the process for creating Google review feeds.
Now, you can instantly create Google review feeds – forget about needing API keys or connecting your credit card!
This new, faster method is perfect for light Google review feeds where you want to showcase your overall positive feedback.
To try the new method, open the Reviews Feed » All Feeds menu from your dashboard and click on Add New.
After adding a new source, select Google and click on Next like you normally do.
Finally, you can paste your Place ID and click on Finish.
Just like that, your Google reviews feed is ready. And you didn’t have to deal with API codes.
Plus, you can still choose to enter an API key like before if you want to unlock faster updates and unlimited sources.
As you can see, you can now save time and money while creating effective review feeds to grow your sales and build customer trust.
