Review Wall

Review Wall gives businesses a simple, neutral feedback page. A visitor selects a rating and then sees the same two choices regardless of that rating:

• Open the Google review page configured by the website administrator.
• Send private feedback to the website administrator.

The selected rating never hides, changes, or promotes either choice. Private feedback stays in WordPress and is not sent to Google or Norml Studio. You can create separate feedback URLs for different locations or services. Each destination uses its own URL key and Google review link while sharing the same feedback-page design. Review Wall also includes an optional review widget. Administrators can add reviews they are permitted to reproduce, include an original source link, and display the collection with a shortcode. The plugin does not fetch or store content from the Google Places API.
