It would be very useful if the widget would show our comment so that everyone can see our commitment to our clients and their feedback.

Hello there,

Thanks a lot for adding your suggestion!

I agree that it would be a good practice to display your replies in the widget, too. We’ll try our best to think over this feature for future updates.

Thank you for your help!

> Showing the replies is indeed essential. It make me doubt about using this feature if it is not included. Otherwise I would need to hide the negative reviews which would be negative as the aim is to use the negative review as an improvement and show our commitment to future guests/clients. Being transparent is always better isn’t it?

Hello Benoit,

Thank you so much for your comment and for this thought!

I totally agree that your own replies are also important, and I’m sorry that we don’t support this option yet. We’ll try our hardest to consider this request in our next updates, however, unfortunately, everything depends on our developers’ overall load.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Would be great if Google reviews widget showed owner responses. Google recommending owners respond to reviews should fuel the need for this request & would help businesses that do ongoing management of their profiles.
