Who uses EC Google Reviews?
EC Google Reviews, from Entangle Commerce, is a Shopify app that displays a store's Google reviews on its storefront. It is rated 5.0 stars across 603 App Store reviews. This profile shows who actually runs it, based on Alert's scan of Shopify storefronts: the size and location of a typical store, what those stores sell, the apps they pair it with, what it costs, and how it compares with the other review apps merchants consider.
The typical EC Google Reviews store
EC Google Reviews is a different kind of review app. Instead of collecting reviews for each product, it pulls in the reviews a business already has on Google and shows them as a badge, carousel or wall. That suits stores where trust in the business matters as much as any single product, such as local retailers, service businesses and stores that also run a physical location.
The store profile fits. The median EC Google Reviews store lists about 108 products, far more than a typical product review app store (Judge.me stores list 40), and runs 8 detected apps. Only about 2.7% of its stores run Shopify Plus, below the Shopify-wide rate of about 4.4%. Reputon Google Reviews, the other Google review app we profile, has a higher Plus share at about 8.9% and an even larger median catalog of 176 products.

EC Google Reviews is used mostly outside the United States: 75% of its stores are based elsewhere. The US accounts for about 25%, then Australia at about 9%, Canada at about 8.5%, India at about 7%, France at about 7% and the United Kingdom at about 4%. The spread is wide, with no single second market, which fits an app whose value does not depend on language or region: a Google review looks the same everywhere.
By category, Business and industrial stores lead at about 21%, ahead of Fashion at about 16.5%. Arts and entertainment follows at about 9%, then Food and drink and Technology at about 8% each. The Business and industrial lead and the strong Arts and entertainment share point to suppliers, trade businesses, galleries and hobby stores, where a Google rating is often the first thing a buyer checks.

Its stores run Smart SEO AI & Image Optimizer 3.8x more often than the average Shopify store and SC Product Options 3.6x more often. Dondy WhatsApp marketing and chat comes in at 2.7x, and a contact form builder, a GTIN barcode app and a Pakistan SMS app each at 2.6x.
The lifts are all modest, which describes a broad base rather than a niche. The recurring themes are search visibility, custom product options, direct contact through forms and WhatsApp, and product feeds. That is a store that sells considered or configurable products and wants buyers to see it is a real, reviewed business before they get in touch.
