Better Business Reviews

by BBR Plugins · Uncategorized

Better Business Reviews allows you to collect and showcase reviews for your business on your wordpress website.

Removed from WordPress.org

wp.org closed this plugin on 2026-08-14 — at the author’s request. It's no longer installable or updated. If you're running it, plan a replacement: closures are often security-related and WordPress won't warn you.

Biggest opportunity: “business reviews”, “ratings” and “reviews” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

9.1%

of downloads still active

At least 3K of 32.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I’ve been using Better Business Reviews PRO across multiple WordPress sites, and it’s hands down the best Trustpilot integration I’ve found. The setup is simple, the design blends seamlessly with my theme, and the new real-time syncing in version 1.1.2 is a game changer. It displays reviews beautifully with flags, dates, and star ratings — all fully responsive. Customer support has also been quick and helpful when I had a minor update issue. If you rely on Trustpilot reviews for credibility and SEO trust signals, this plugin is a must-have. Highly recommended!
