Dear Sir,

Good day to you!

I’m looking for a way to display Google Maps reviews as a section on my website, but without relying on any plugins. Could you guide me through the process or provide any resources on how to show Google Maps reviews directly into the site?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We appreciate your interest in displaying Google Maps reviews on your website without using plugins.

Please note that your inquiry falls outside the direct scope of our theme’s functionality. While we are happy to share general information we have found online regarding this, we must clarify that we cannot guarantee the performance or compatibility of this functionality, as it is not influenced by our theme.

While it is possible to achieve this, it typically requires the use of the Google Places API, which allows you to fetch and display reviews programmatically.

To proceed, you would need to:

1. Create a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account if you don’t already have one.
2. Enable the Places API in your GCP project.
3. Generate an API key.
4. Use JavaScript or a server-side language (such as PHP) to make requests to the Places API and retrieve your business reviews.
5. Format and display the reviews on your website using custom HTML/CSS.

Please note that using the Google Places API may incur charges depending on the number of requests made, and it also requires compliance with Google’s terms of service.

For more detailed guidance, we recommend referring to the official Google Places API documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/overview

If you are not familiar with coding, we suggest consulting with a developer who can assist you in implementing this solution securely and efficiently.

We hope this information is helpful.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
