Your Google Business reviews are one of your most valuable marketing assets. Potential customers trust reviews from real people, and those 5-star ratings you’ve worked hard to earn can significantly boost conversions on your website.

But here’s the problem: those reviews are stuck on Google. Visitors to your Shopify store might never see them.

That’s where Google Reviews by DragonApps comes in. Our free app lets you showcase your Google Business reviews directly on your Shopify store with beautiful, customizable widgets.

Why Display Google Reviews on Your Store?

Build Trust Instantly

When visitors see authentic Google reviews on your site, they immediately feel more confident about purchasing. Google reviews carry weight because customers know they can’t be faked or manipulated.

Increase Conversions

Studies show that displaying reviews can increase conversion rates by up to 270%. Real social proof from real customers is one of the most effective ways to turn browsers into buyers.

Improve SEO

Fresh, user-generated content from reviews can help your pages rank better in search results. Plus, review stars can appear in Google search results, making your listings more eye-catching.

Keep Visitors on Your Site

Instead of customers leaving to check your Google reviews, keep them engaged on your store where they can easily make a purchase.

Tips for Getting More Google Reviews

Now that you’re displaying reviews, here’s how to get more:

  1. Ask happy customers — Send a follow-up email after purchase with a direct link to leave a Google review
  2. Make it easy — Include a QR code on packaging that links to your Google review page
  3. Respond to reviews — Engaging with reviewers (even negative ones) shows you care and encourages others to leave feedback
  4. Time it right — Ask for reviews after the customer has received and used the product, not immediately after purchase
