If a Google business listing has a physical location, you can display your latest reviews for it in an attractive feed. You can also enter the website address of any Yelp business and instantly create a feed of your Yelp reviews as well. Business ratings are an important part of social proof to increase customer confidence in your online business. Website visitors will instantly increase their trust in your business if they can see real customer reviews from real customers.
Showing Google rating and Yelp reviews on your website is one of the best ways to convince site visitors to do business with you and boost your conversions. Customer testimonials are crucial to building positive brand trust for online businesses.
Our plugin makes it easy to set up an automatically updating feed of Yelp and Google reviews. After installing the plugin, create a feed by visiting the Reviews Feed menu item that appears in your dashboard. Configure a source of reviews for your feed, customize the look and feel, then use a shortcode to display your reviews feed anywhere on your site. It takes less than a minute to get started.
In our free version, an API key is required only if you would like ongoing updates to your reviews feed. If you don’t have an API key, you can still display up to 10 of the latest reviews for a single business without needing an API key. Simply verify your email address to unlock this feature!

Listing Reviews for Directorist with Yelp turns your <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/directorist/" rel="ugc">Directorist</a> business directory into a context-rich destination by pulling live data from the Yelp Fusion API onto every single listing. Visitors instantly see real Yelp businesses nearby — restaurants, cafés, hotels, shops — with star ratings, review counts, distance, photos, and prices, without ever leaving your directory.
If you run a WordPress directory powered by Directorist — a classifieds site, a real-estate directory, a restaurant or hotel directory, a city guide, or a niche business directory — this add-on adds the “what’s around this place?” answer that visitors are already looking for. Pair Directorist’s listing data with Yelp’s review database and you turn a thin listing page into a stayable, shareable, bookmark-able page.
<h4>Why this plugin</h4>
Most directory sites have a discovery problem: a listing page tells you about one business, but visitors want to know “what else is nearby?” before they decide whether to visit. Linking out to Google or Yelp loses them. This Directorist add-on solves that by embedding the nearby context directly in your listing, so:
<ul>
<li>Visitors stay on your directory longer. Time-on-page goes up; bounce-rate goes down.</li>
<li>Each listing becomes a mini neighborhood guide. Better content for SEO, better experience for users.</li>
<li>No manual data entry. Yelp’s API supplies fresh reviews automatically — you never touch the data.</li>
<li>Works with every Directorist directory type. Restaurants, hotels, retail, real estate, events, services — Yelp’s category set covers them all.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Nearby businesses, on every Directorist listing. Renders a “Nearby places” section under (or beside) every single-listing page automatically.</li>
<li>Live Yelp Fusion API integration. Star rating, review count, photo, distance, price tier, category — all pulled fresh on render.</li>
<li>Grid view. Clean, responsive card grid with 1–4 columns. Mobile-friendly out of the box.</li>
<li>6 built-in Yelp categories. Restaurants, Food, Cafés, Bars, Shopping, Hotels — covering most common Directorist directory types.</li>
<li>Per-listing overrides. Each Directorist listing can override the Yelp category and search radius from both the admin meta box and the Directorist frontend submission form.</li>
<li>Listing-submission form integration. Yelp category + radius fields appear inside Directorist’s frontend listing form, right next to the map / address fields, so submitters set their own context.</li>
<li>Modern React-based settings UI. Tabbed admin page (General, Display, Placement, Submission Form, Cache, Operations) with a Directorist-style look and feel.</li>
<li>Placement control. Choose sidebar (Directorist’s right sidebar) or bottom-of-content placement, per-site.</li>
<li>Themeable templates. Drop a <code>nearby-grid.php</code> (or <code>single-wrapper.php</code>) into your theme’s <code>listing-reviews-for-directorist-with-yelp/</code> folder to fully customize the markup.</li>
<li>Performance-conscious. Per-request memoization, configurable result limit (1–20), and clean Yelp HTTP wrapper with status-code instrumentation.</li>
<li>Privacy-respecting. Only the listing’s coordinates and your API key are sent — no visitor IPs, cookies, or personal data.</li>
<li>Translation-ready. Full POT file shipped, all strings i18n-wrapped.</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly. Yelp is called server-side, so no visitor-tracked third-party request fires from the browser.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro upgrades available</h4>
<ul>
<li>Slider, map, and list+map view modes (with Swiper carousel and Leaflet/OpenStreetMap maps).</li>
<li>Phone column, multi-category submissions, admin-only form fields.</li>
<li>Live frontend filter bar — visitors filter by category, rating, price, and sort order without reloading.</li>
<li>Use the visitor’s own location (with browser permission) instead of the listing’s coordinates.</li>
<li>Smart caching with daily / weekly cron warming.</li>
<li>Result-quality filters: min rating, min review count, open-now, price tiers, allowlist / blocklist Yelp IDs.</li>
<li>UTM tagging + outbound click tracking per listing.</li>
<li>Card themes (Yelp / Minimal / Magazine / Dark) and Custom CSS.</li>
<li>Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, shortcode, public REST endpoint.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Built for Directorist</h4>
This is a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/directorist/" rel="ugc">Directorist</a> add-on. It detects Directorist’s single listing template, sidebar, frontend submission form, and post type (<code>at_biz_dir</code>) automatically — no theme hacks, no shortcode placement needed. Activate, paste your Yelp API key, and every Directorist listing gets the nearby section.
If you don’t yet have Directorist installed, the plugin will prompt you to install it during activation.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Yelp Fusion API to fetch nearby business data (name, address, photo, rating, review count, distance, price tier, category) for display on Directorist listing pages.
<ul>
<li>When data is sent: each time a Directorist single listing page is rendered (front-end view), the plugin sends a request to the Yelp Fusion API with the listing’s latitude / longitude, the configured search radius, and the configured category filter. No personally identifiable information about the site visitor is sent.</li>
<li>What is sent: the listing’s geographic coordinates, the radius (meters), the Yelp category slug, the result limit, and your Yelp API key in the Authorization header.</li>
<li>Where: <code>https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search</code></li>
<li>The plugin will only call this service after the site administrator has entered a Yelp Fusion API key in the plugin settings.</li>
</ul>
Yelp is a third-party service operated by Yelp Inc. By using this plugin, the site operator agrees to the Yelp API Terms of Use and Yelp’s Privacy Policy:
