Illustrative interface · sample data
A real free toolkit. Not trialware.
Lite covers the whole review lifecycle: collect first-party feedback, manage it, check the health of your setup, then publish responsive displays anywhere a shortcode runs.
The dashboard keeps review management and publishing in one place.
Collect. Manage. Design. Publish.
Everything stays inside WordPress. Use only the parts you need. Google is optional, and nothing is sent to VanBlaisa.
Collect
Add unlimited reviews manually, accept moderated website submissions, and show live Google reviews alongside them.
Manage
Keep first-party reviews organised in the WordPress Review Library.
Design
Pick a preset and tune the reviewer, rating, card, typography and responsive settings.
Publish
Paste
"Has seen my business grow daily..."Client reviews
See the review block before it goes live.
The preview runs the real frontend renderer, CSS and JavaScript in an isolated frame, so what you design is exactly what visitors see. Your saved style applies to local and Google reviews alike.
Configure and preview without switching between the editor and the frontend.
Choose a layout. Make it yours.
Presets for service pages, landing pages, long-form content and compact trust sections. Each one styles your live Google reviews too.
Accept website reviews. Approve before they publish.
The public form collects the reviewer's details, a rating and their review. Every submission waits for your moderation before it appears on the site.
Use the form by itself or alongside a review display.
Live Google reviews. Nothing stored.
Show your Google Maps reviews next to your own, styled by the same Display Builder. Google is entirely optional: Lite works fully without it.
Your Google key
Add a Google Maps browser key restricted to your site, plus your Place ID. Google bills your own Cloud project directly.
Click-to-load by default
Visitors' browsers contact Google only after they choose to load the reviews. Automatic loading is an explicit opt-in.
Live, never stored
Reviews go straight from Google to the browser. Nothing is saved in WordPress, and they never enter your local stats or schema.
Attributed properly
Google Maps attribution, reviewer names and review links are shown the way Google requires, in the order Google returns them.
Google selects which reviews its API returns, so Lite doesn't claim access to your full review history. VanBlaisa is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Google. Google and related marks are trademarks of Google LLC.
Know what's eligible before schema is emitted.
The Schema Safety Inspector uses the same eligibility path as the frontend output, so you see the real state before anything is published.
Schema output can be switched off. You stay in control of review and data settings.

Questions before you install
Is VRI Lite really free?
Yes. It's a genuinely useful free plugin, not a time-limited trial. Core Lite features don't need a VanBlaisa account or licence key.
Do I need an AI API key?
No. Review management, the Review Intelligence Snapshot, the Display Builder, public submissions and schema-safety tools all work without an AI provider.
Does Lite store Google reviews in WordPress?
No. Google reviews go straight from Google to the visitor's browser and are never sent back to or saved in WordPress. They're kept separate from your local reviews, stats and schema.
When does a visitor's browser contact Google?
By default, only after the visitor clicks to load the Google reviews. You can turn on automatic loading, or connect the display to your cookie-consent tool with the vbril_google_reviews_can_load filter.
Do I have to connect Google?
No. Google is optional. Lite works fully with manually added reviews and moderated website submissions.
Will review schema get me stars in Google?
Not guaranteed. Lite emits conservative structured data for eligible visible reviews, but search engines decide whether to show any enhanced result.
Does Lite send any data to VanBlaisa?
No. There's no account, no licence check and no telemetry. If you uninstall, your reviews are kept unless you choose to delete them first.
Which shortcode does Lite use?
Use
"Has seen my business grow daily..."Client reviews
