Moderation Tool
This plugin doesn’t let you automatically set up filtering to avoid showing bad reviews on the site. All our clients feel very strongly that they don’t want to include bad reviews on their sites. We won’t be able to monitor the reviews added. The doctor would have to contact us to ask us to remove a bad review manualy and this most likely will upset the doctor.
Moderation Tool
Current plugin lets you filter out bad reviews automaticaly. Keeps doctors happy.
Automatic Updates
The plugin claims to updated the reviews automatically (to include the newest ones). We do not have that data to know if that is true.
Automatic Updates
Current plugin also claims to update the reviews automatically ( to include the newest ones). We found that the updates are not as frequent as some doctors like it to be. Disconnecting and connecting the plugin back to the GMB profile forces the reviews to update to the newest.
Time and resources management
Manualy removing bad reviews doesn’t save us time and we would recive a lot more tasks from unhappy doctors to remove bad reviews.
Time and resources management
Updating a current plugin takes 3 minutes. As far as I know, there are only two clients that feel strongly about updating the reviews monthly.
Styling
This plugin has a very choppy and abrupt, quick transition of the cards in the slider which makes it look old (see the test demo) .
Styling
The current plugin we use (see demo) has a smooth transition of the items in the slider, which gives it a more modern feel.
In my opinion, the free product is the best representation of the quality we should expect of the paid versions. The quality of Plugin for Google Reviews by RichPlugins is less than Widgets for Google Reviews By Trustindex, and the risk of poor customer experience is much higher.
There are no time savings of Plugin for Google Reviews by RichPlugins. It requires us to monitor, catch and remove bad reviews manualy before doctors or their patients see them.
Curently updating the plugin is a part of website maintenance.
