To show Google reviews on a Divi website, use the Divi Torque Google Reviews module: add it to a page, paste a Google Places API key and your business Place ID, then choose how many reviews to display. The module pulls your real Google ratings and styles them to match your site — no third-party widget or iframe.
Why show Google reviews on your site?
Displaying reviews on your own pages turns off-site trust into on-site social proof. It's persuasive: roughly 93% of consumers say online reviews affect their purchasing decisions (BrightLocal), and Google is the most-used review platform for local businesses. Surfacing that star rating near a call to action reassures visitors at the moment they decide.
What do you need before you start?
- A Google Cloud project with the Places API enabled.
- A Places API key.
- Your business Place ID (find it with Google's Place ID finder).
- Divi Torque Pro, which includes the Google Reviews module.

Google Reviews vs a manual testimonial: which is better?
| Aspect | Google Reviews module | Manual testimonials |

Frequently asked questions
Is a Google API key free?
Google offers a monthly usage credit that covers typical review-widget traffic, but you must add billing to your Google Cloud project to activate the Places API.
How many reviews can I display?
The Google Places API returns up to five reviews per location, so the module shows your most relevant recent reviews.
Will it slow down my site?
No. Reviews are cached, so the module doesn't call the API on every page load.
