But wait! You’ll still need Strong Testimonials lite installed and activated on your WordPress dashboard for the extension to work wonders. It’s like the foundation of a killer outfit – you must have it before you can bling.
Next, it’s time to get Strong Testimonials pro up and running. Please install and activate it to prepare for the grand finale: activating the Import extension.

General Options
Before you dive headfirst into importing everything in sight from G2, take a moment to check out the General Options accessible via Testimonials > Import > Settings. These options let you choose which testimonials to import and assist with customizing the importing settings.
- Name Field: G2 is heavily focused on B2B reviews. That’s why you need to look into the option to display the company’s or the individual’s name.
- Rating: Analytics dashboard on G2 portrays the star ratings, but do you need to attach that detail to your testimonials? Well, it is entirely at your discretion to decide.
- Email: This is an optional field. You cannot import it because G2 doesn’t publicly display or provide this information. And we recommend leaving it as Nil (–).
- Minimum rating: Are you curious to find a way to pull only the top-ranked reviews and publish them? Well, use the minimum rating scale to your advantage.
- Auto Import: If you want to keep your testimonial page updated, you can use the Auto Import feature on G2 to present the latest reviews from your clients on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.
Take a look at this guide to learn more about the General options. Make sure to save the changes after making the selections.

Import from G2
Open the G2 importer tab on your WordPress dashboard: Testimonials > Import > G2.
In the Add new G2 product slugs field, add the slug of your website/service in the proper format (place a comma between each slug in case of multiple entries) and click the Add Pages button to load them underneath with import details for the page(s).
Checkmark the top-right box on the Import tab, and begin the process by clicking the Import Now button. You will see that the status will transition between various stages, and if the system returns no error, you will get a final confirmation with Imported status in the end.
After a successful import, your testimonials should already be listed in the WordPress dashboard. If there are no reviews for a company, the Import count would be 0.
You must create a view in Display or Slideshow mode to publish testimonials on the WordPress website. For that, go to Dashboard > Testimonials > Views > Add New. Save it once you have selected the preferred options while creating a new view.
Copy the shortcode and paste it on the Testimonials page on your website, and that’s it; your G2 reviews are ready to be viewed by the world 🙂.
