Bring Google Reviews to Shopify with Eevy AI

Your Google reviews are powerful social proof — display them on your Shopify store with AI-optimized layouts.

Estimated time: 20-35 minutes

Why Switch from Google Reviews?

Google Business Profile reviews are often a store's most visible social proof, with customers frequently leaving detailed feedback on Google before anywhere else. Many Shopify stores use third-party apps to pull Google reviews onto their storefront, but these apps typically display reviews in basic embeds or static widgets that feel disconnected from the rest of the store.

Eevy AI lets you import your Google reviews and display them as native-feeling review sections that are genetically optimized for conversions. Instead of a generic Google reviews embed, your Google feedback integrates seamlessly into product pages with layouts that evolve based on real shopper behavior. The social proof you built on Google now works harder for you on Shopify.

Migration Steps

1

Export your Google reviews

Go to Google Takeout (takeout.google.com) and select "Google Business Profile" data. Download the export which includes your reviews in JSON or CSV format.

2

Prepare reviews for import

Google Takeout review data may need formatting. Extract review text, star ratings, reviewer names, and dates. Map reviews to relevant Shopify products where applicable, or mark as general store reviews.

3

Install Eevy AI

Install Eevy AI from the Shopify App Store and complete the setup.

4

Import Google reviews into Eevy AI

Upload the formatted CSV in Eevy AI under Settings > Import Reviews. Reviews that map to specific products attach to those product pages. General reviews can display on homepage or collection pages.

5

Remove any existing Google review widgets

If you currently use a Google reviews widget app, remove its theme blocks from the Shopify theme editor.

6

Add Eevy AI sections

Place Eevy AI app blocks on product pages and other pages where you want Google reviews displayed. The genetic algorithm starts optimizing layouts immediately.

  • Overall rating data

What Improves

  • Generic Google embeds replaced by native Shopify review sections

Glossary

Average Rating

Average rating is the arithmetic mean of all star values across a product's or store's reviews, typically displayed to one decimal place (e.g. 4.7) and shown alongside the review count as the headline social-proof number.

Glossary

Review Count

Review count is the total number of reviews displayed for a product or store, shown beside the star rating (e.g. "4.7 from 1,247 reviews") and used by both shoppers and search engines as a volume-of-social-proof signal.
