Booked a cab at short notice and the driver arrived early. Clean car, fair price, no haggling. Will use again.

Genuinely helpful from the first call. They explained the options instead of upselling me.

Fast, tidy and honest about what did and did not need doing. Recommended.

When the Grid layout is the right choice

A grid puts several reviews on screen at once in equal cards. Volume is the argument here: five names visible together reads as consensus, where one review at a time reads as a single opinion. Equal-height cards also stop the layout looking accidental when one review is much longer than the rest.

When to use something else

Avoid it in a narrow column or a sidebar. Below roughly 200 pixels per card the text wraps every two or three words and becomes genuinely hard to read โ€” a badge or floating widget does a better job in tight space.

Practical tip Three columns is usually the sweet spot on desktop. Four starts to feel like a directory listing rather than an endorsement.

Add the Grid widget to your website

Connect your Google Business Profile, pick this layout, and paste the snippet where the reviews should appear. It works the same in WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and plain HTML โ€” there is no plugin and no build step.

<script src="https://growmelocally.com/widget/reviews/YOUR_TOKEN.js" async></script>

The async attribute means it never blocks your page from rendering, and it draws inside a shadow root so your CSS and the widget cannot interfere with each other.

Questions about the Grid widget

How many reviews does the grid show?

As many as you choose, laid out in rows. Six to nine is usually enough to read as proof without turning the page into a scroll.

Does the grid work on mobile?

Yes. It drops to fewer columns as the space narrows rather than squeezing cards, so a phone shows a single readable column.

Frequently asked questions

How many reviews does the grid show?
As many as you choose, laid out in rows. Six to nine is usually enough to read as proof without turning the page into a scroll.
Does the grid work on mobile?
Yes. It drops to fewer columns as the space narrows rather than squeezing cards, so a phone shows a single readable column.
Is the Google reviews widget free?
Yes. Generating the widget and embedding it on your site is free on every plan, including the free one. It keeps pulling new reviews as they come in, with no cap on how many pages you put it on.
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. It is one script tag, so there is no plugin to install, update or have break after a WordPress core release. That also means it works identically on Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and hand-written HTML, none of which accept WordPress plugins.
Will the reviews update automatically?
Yes. The widget reads your live Google Business Profile, so a review left this morning appears without you touching the code. Responses are cached briefly so a busy page never hammers the API, which means a brand-new review can take a few minutes to show.
Will a reviews widget slow my website down?
It should not. The script loads asynchronously so it never blocks your page from rendering, and the reviews are fetched after your content is already on screen. The widget renders inside a shadow root, which also means it cannot inherit or fight your site CSS โ€” the usual cause of embedded widgets looking broken.
