TrustFusion — Show Reviews from Google Business Profile

TrustFusion connects to your Google Business Profile and displays your Google reviews per business on your site via a simple shortcode. Reviews are fetched and stored server-side (not loaded live from Google on every page view), which keeps pages fast and lets reviews contribute to your site’s SEO through JSON-LD schema markup.

Key Features

• Connect a Google Business Profile via the TrustFusion relay — no Google API key required.
• Grid, list, and carousel display layouts.
• Multi-location support: connect and display reviews from more than one business, individually or merged into a single feed.
• Hide/show individual reviews from the admin without deleting them.
• JSON-LD AggregateRating schema markup, using the business’s real Google rating and review count.
• Automatic sync via WP-Cron (about once a month); the manual “Sync Now” button matches that cadence via the relay, or works anytime once you add your own Google API key.
• Shortcode: [trustfusion_reviews] (supports id, place_id, ids, layout, and limit attributes).

TrustFusion Pro is a separate plugin, sold directly at reviews.webcitylab.com (not listed on or distributed through WordPress.org), with official Google OAuth connect and a higher review-sync ceiling for licensed sites.

External services

This plugin connects to external services to fetch and display your Google reviews. Details below.

1. Google Business Profile API / Google Places API Used to search for your business and fetch its reviews, rating, and business details for display on your site. This happens when: you search for a business on the “Add New” admin page, you connect a business (via the TrustFusion relay, or your own Google Maps/Places API key if you’ve added one), and during the monthly automatic sync (and manual “Sync Now”). Data sent to Google includes your search query and/or the connected business’s Google Place ID. This service is provided by Google LLC — Google APIs Terms of Service — Google Privacy Policy.

2. TrustFusion Relay (reviews.webcitylab.com) When you connect a business without entering your own Google API key (the default, key-free path), this plugin sends your site URL and the connected business’s Google Place ID to reviews.webcitylab.com — a service operated by Web City Lab (this plugin’s developer) — which fetches the review data on your behalf. This plugin doesn’t impose any review-count limit of its own; the relay itself currently returns up to 10 reviews per business for requests without a paid TrustFusion Pro license, to keep the shared, free service sustainable. This service is provided by Web City Lab — Terms of Service — Privacy Policy — Data Deletion Policy.
