There are multiple ways to incorporate reviews into your <\/span>WordPress site<\/span><\/a>. Whether you\u2019re looking to create a review-based website, or you run a site for your small business and you\u2019d like to add reviews to your site, this post is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like most things WordPress there are a dozen ways for you to accomplish any kind of task. Adding reviews to your site is no different.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll learn what WordPress review sites are and how you can build one and the best themes and plugins to use. Plus, we\u2019ll show you how to incorporate reviews into your existing WordPress website. <\/span><\/p>\n

First, we\u2019ll cover how to create an affiliate review site. If you\u2019re looking to <\/span>add reviews to your small business site<\/span><\/a>, you can <\/span>click here<\/span><\/a> to hop straight to that section.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a Review Website?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A review website is one that\u2019s geared towards writing product reviews. You\u2019ll find these kinds of sites scattered across almost every niche. One of the most well known of these sites is <\/span>the WireCutter<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main goal of these sites are to generate revenue via <\/span>affiliate marketing<\/span><\/a>. The process is simple: you find a niche that\u2019s being underserved with low quality content, and then you create higher quality product reviews. As your site builds traffic, you\u2019ll generate revenue whenever someone purchases a product through your link.<\/span><\/p>\n

Essentially, it\u2019s a content driven website that\u2019s focused on providing visitors with accurate and helpful information related to products they\u2019re thinking about purchasing. <\/span><\/p>\n

This style of site can be pretty lucrative, but you need to do it the right way. This not only means that you need to <\/span>create affiliate review content<\/span><\/a> that\u2019s better than what\u2019s currently ranking, but you also need to lay a solid foundation for your site. We\u2019ll get into that below. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Start a WordPress Review Website<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve been wanting to start your own review-style website, then there are a few things that you\u2019ll need. Review sites are mostly content-driven sites, but you\u2019ll need a stable website base to work from before you write your first word of content.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you do just that:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Choose Your Domain Name, and Host<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first things you\u2019ll need when starting a new WordPress review website are a reliable host and domain name. There\u2019s a nearly endless supply of hosting and domain name providers to choose from. But, if you\u2019re looking for a high-quality and high-performing WordPress host, then look no further than HostGator.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can even <\/span>register a domain name through HostGator<\/span><\/a> as well. This will not only save you time, but you\u2019ll be working with a provider you can trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Choose a WordPress Review Theme<\/span><\/h3>\n

With your hosting and domain name squared away you\u2019ll need to install WordPress. WordPress is a free CMS, so there\u2019s no upfront cost. However, as your site grows, eventually you\u2019ll want to invest in premium themes and plugins (which we\u2019ll cover below).<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start by choosing your WordPress theme. Here are some of the best paid and free WordPress review themes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. REHub<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"rehub\"<\/p>\n

REHub<\/b><\/a> is designed with review-style WordPress sites in mind. It allows you to create simple review-style blogs, all the way up to magazine style sites. With a variety of page templates and custom widget areas to choose from, this theme is incredibly flexible. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. InReview<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"inreview\"<\/p>\n

InReview<\/b><\/a> was developed by the team at Elegant Themes. Beyond its beautiful layout, this WordPress review theme has built-in review features that not only let the author create a starred review, but also the readers as well. This can help build trust among your readers, as the content appears peer-validated. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Huber<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"huber\"<\/p>\n

Huber<\/b><\/a> is a really cool WordPress review theme that takes style cues from the video game industry. However, just because the sample theme is geared towards gaming doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be used across any niche.<\/span> It\u2019s very versatile and its unique review structure and layout can help you stand out in your niche. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Install the Best WordPress Review Plugins<\/b><\/h3>\n

Beyond choosing a review-oriented theme there are some additional plugins you might want to install as well. These WordPress review plugins will help to transform any site into an in-depth review monster.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. WP Customer Reviews<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"wp<\/p>\n

If you want to have the ability to let your readers post reviews, then you\u2019ll want the <\/span>WP Customer Reviews<\/b><\/a> plugin. You can either create a dedicated page for customers to add reviews, or you can add reviews to individual posts. Finally, this WordPress review plugin has anti-spam protection built-in, along with admin approval features, so you can ensure that all the<\/span> reviews on your WordPress<\/span> site are actually authentic. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. WP Review<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"wp<\/p>\n

WP Review<\/b><\/a> is a free plugin that\u2019s easy to use and will help you create rock-solid review posts, just by following a few simple steps. You can customize the appearance of this WordPress review plugin via CSS, and you can use the included shortcodes to display reviews anywhere across your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be able to create star, rating, and percentage reviews. Plus, it\u2019s fully compatible with Google Rich Snippets. If you want to upgrade this plugin there\u2019s <\/span>a premium version available through MyThemeShop<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. WP Product Review<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"wp<\/p>\n

The <\/span>WP Product Review<\/b><\/a> plugin has both a lite and premium version. Overall, it allows you to easily add <\/span>reviews to your WordPress<\/span> site. When you\u2019re writing a blog post, just select the product review option and you\u2019ll get a menu of available settings for you to fill in.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also additional features like the ability to add user reviews, or add reviews to your sidebar. It\u2019s also integrated with Schema rich snippets for better search engine display.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Start Publishing Great Review Content<\/h3>\n

Now that your site\u2019s scaffolding is in place it\u2019s time to start creating your review content. The content you create will make or break the success of your site, so make sure you\u2019re creating in-depth <\/span>reviews on WordPress<\/span> that add real value for your readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to take your review site to the next level, consider actually purchasing the products or software you\u2019re reviewing. This will give you a huge leg up on a lot of other sites out there that haven\u2019t actually spent serious time with the products being reviewed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best WordPress Plugins to Optimize Your Reviews<\/span><\/h2>\n

Beyond the basic plugins we\u2019ve outlined above, there are a few more that will enhance the readability of your content. Remember, review-based content is all about conversions. So, the more informative and higher quality your content is, the better chances it has of converting readers into buyers-and earning you that affiliate check!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are three additional WordPress plugins that can help elevate your review content:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Pretty Link<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"pretty<\/p>\n

Pretty Link<\/b><\/a> is a useful plugin that helps you manage your affiliate links, while cloaking them so they don\u2019t look spammy. Plus, you can do cool things like setup <\/span>URL redirects<\/span><\/a> and track your links to see if people are actually clicking. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Easy Azon<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"easy<\/p>\n

If you plan on promoting and reviewing products from Amazon, then <\/span>Easy Azon<\/b><\/a> is an invaluable WordPress plugin. It makes it very easy to select and create Amazon affiliate links. You can do it all from your WordPress dashboard. This is a huge timesaver if you\u2019re creating a lot of content.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Thrive Architect<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"thrive<\/p>\n

The <\/span>Thrive Architect<\/b><\/a> plugin might only be useful to more experienced website builders, but it\u2019s worth mentioning. With this plugin you can create highly structured content with visual elements in place that encourage your readers to keep reading. Plus, it\u2019s all drag and drop, so you can easily create professional looking content.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Add Reviews to Your Existing Website<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your goal isn\u2019t to create a review-oriented website, but instead to add reviews to your existing site, then you\u2019re going to have a bunch of options at your disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you want to add product reviews to your e-commerce site? Or, you may want to embed customer testimonial reviews to build trust for your <\/span>solopreneur business<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When they\u2019re positive, user-generated reviews can be a wonderful addition to your site. However, even <\/span>negative reviews, when handled in the right way<\/span><\/a>, can be a valuable opportunity to show customers how you respond to customer service feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can add reviews to your existing WordPress site.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Install Your Plugin Of Choice<\/h3>\n

The basic process for adding review capabilities to your site will be similar no matter what plugin you\u2019re using. Below you\u2019ll find a list of some of the most useful plugins. But for the sake of example we\u2019ll assume you want to integrate existing Yelp reviews into your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

To do this navigate to your WordPress dashboard and click on <\/span>Plugins>Add New<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then search for the plugin called '\u02dcYelp Widget Pro\u2019 and click install. It should look like the plugin below:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"yelp<\/p>\n

2. Configure the Plugin<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the plugin installed you\u2019ll have a new menu option of the left-hand side called Yelp Reviews. To open this click on <\/span>Settings>Yelp Reviews<\/span><\/i>. Then, follow the directions on the page. You\u2019ll need your Yelp API in order to link your account to WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"yelp<\/p>\n

3. Add the Widget<\/h3>\n

With the plugin setup navigate to <\/span>Appearance>Widgets<\/span><\/i>, and you\u2019ll notice a widget called '\u02dcYelp Widget Pro\u2019. Drag this to your desired section and your Yelp reviews will now display on your site. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"yelp<\/p>\n

What to Look for in a WordPress Review Plugin<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re looking for a good WordPress review plugin there are some key features that you\u2019ll want to look out for. You don\u2019t want to have to install a handful of plugins, when one could do the trick just fine on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Built-in Spam Filter<\/h3>\n

The last thing you want is to have to go through every review yourself to guarantee if it\u2019s real or not. But, you also don\u2019t want your website to be filled with spam reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sweet spot in between these is finding a plugin that has a built-in spam filter. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Rating and Review System<\/h3>\n

Instead of just a blank comment box, you\u2019ll want a review system that lets your users leave consistent reviews. Whether that\u2019s a starred rating system, or a numbered rating system. <\/span><\/p>\n

Having a consistent review system will allow people reading reviews to get a more accurate picture of how your products and services stack up. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Integrated Schema Markup<\/h3>\n

By adding <\/span>schema markup<\/span><\/a> to your site you\u2019ll be able to improve your search engine rankings and appearance. Schema markup helps to better organize and present your website\u2019s data so it can be more readily understood by the search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you install a WordPress review plugin make sure that it has integrated schema markup.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best WordPress Review Plugins<\/h2>\n

There are tons of different WordPress review plugins that you can use to add <\/span>reviews to your WordPress<\/span> \u00a0site. Here are three of the most useful, especially if you\u2019re trying to <\/span>bolster social proof<\/span><\/a> and improve conversions site wide. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Yelp Widget Pro<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"wp<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a local business owner, then you probably have a Yelp page that\u2019s populated with reviews. The <\/span>Yelp Widget Pro<\/b><\/a> plugin will let you integrate your existing Yelp reviews and other useful information into your website\u2019s sidebar. This will help to display any existing <\/span>reviews on WordPress<\/span> and give readers access to your Yelp page for further verification. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Google Places Reviews<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"google<\/p>\n

If you have a Google Places page with reviews, then you can integrate these into your site as well with the <\/span>Google Places Reviews<\/b><\/a> plugin. You can display your customer reviews, business name, and Google+ page. There\u2019s also <\/span>a Pro version of this plugin<\/span><\/a>, which will give you access to additional features. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Pixlee<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"pixlee\"<\/p>\n

Pixlee<\/b><\/a> is a premium WordPress review plugin, but the investment can be well worth it. Pixlee will allow you to integrate visual reviews into your site. By displaying real customer photos on your product pages, or using them with your testimonials you\u2019ll greatly help to improve conversions. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Closing Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n

As you can see there are tons of ways you can integrate reviews into your WordPress site. Whether you\u2019re looking to build a brand new WordPress review site from scratch, or simply add reviews to your existing business website, WordPress makes it easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, you don\u2019t have to use every plugin highlighted above. Instead, choose the one or two that suit your needs and budget the best. Overall, it\u2019s better to use fewer plugins whenever possible, so if you find a single plugin that does everything you need it to do, then use that one.<\/span><\/p>\n
