Overview

About this plugin

GMB Club Connect is the official WordPress plugin for GMB Club, the all-in-one platform to manage your online presence: Google Business Profile, social media, AI content, and customer reviews.

Turn your Google reviews into a trust machine and automate your content strategy — all from one place.

Showcase your Google Reviews

Your happy customers already left great reviews on Google. Now display them on your WordPress site with 8 gorgeous, mobile-friendly layouts:

  • Slider — Smooth carousel with autoplay, swipe support, and 3 header styles
  • Grid — Beautiful card grid that adapts to any screen size
  • List — Clean vertical list with “Show more” expansion
  • Badge — Compact rating badge, perfect for sidebars
  • Horizontal Badge — Sleek inline badge for your header or footer
  • Floating Widget — Fixed corner widget that visitors can open anytime

Every layout is fully customizable: colors, star filters, profile photos, owner replies, review count, name format, and more. Just drop a shortcode and you’re live:

[gmbclco_reviews layout="grid" max="6" min_stars="4"]

Show Your Social Posts

Your latest posts from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google

Business, on your own site — in a grid or a carousel, refreshed automatically.

Each card links back to the real post:

Publish AI-Generated Articles

Connected to GMB Club’s powerful AI engine, this plugin lets you publish SEO-optimized articles directly to WordPress — no copy-pasting, no manual formatting.

Here’s what happens behind the scenes on GMB Club:

  • AI researches your topic using real-time web data
  • Generates a full article (1,000–2,000+ words) with proper H2 structure, FAQ, and CTA
  • Creates a featured image using AI image generation
  • Adds SEO metadata (Yoast SEO compatible: meta title & description)
  • Publishes to your WordPress site in one click — or schedules it for later

You can also use the REST API with n8n, Make, Zapier, or your own scripts for full automation.
