An Australian grass seed brand on WooCommerce. 2,200+ reviews carried across.
How McKays Grass Seeds, the family-owned Australian grass seed brand on WooCommerce, retired Judge.me and runs Product Reviews, Star Rating, Review Wall and a Trust Badge across a 215+ product catalog of couch, kikuyu, ryegrass and sports turf seeds.
McKays Grass Seeds is a family-owned Australian grass seed brand on WooCommerce at mckaysgrassseeds.com.au. The catalog covers 215+ products across couch, kikuyu, ryegrass, fescue, native grasses and sports turf blends in AUD, with 2,200+ verified reviews now living on WiserReview behind it.
2,200+ Judge.me reviews across a 215+ product seed catalog, and a buyer who picks the wrong variety if they cannot see how it actually grew in.
Grass seed is a research purchase. An Australian buyer comparing couch and kikuyu wants to see lawns that other buyers in their climate already grew. McKays had years of Judge.me feedback, but the storefront had no Review Wall or site-wide Trust Badge, and customer photos of finished lawns were not surfaced.
One platform that retired Judge.me, kept every review, and ran four widgets across the storefront with photo reviews on every PDP.
“2,200+ reviews carried across from Judge.me. Four widgets live on WooCommerce. Photo reviews on every PDP. Setup done in a day.”
Judge.me out of the stack, 2,200+ reviews kept on the right seed product. WiserReview dropped onto WooCommerce and put Star Rating, Product Reviews, Review Wall and a site-wide Trust Badge on the existing Divi child theme, with photo uploads turned on so buyers see real lawns.

A real McKays Grass Seeds review
Amazing germination and growth
Bought Bermuda couch as a bit of a trial. Trial because it was late in the growing season so expectations were realistic. Planted about 50m2 on the 31st March, South of Brisbane, day time temps were 27-30 but overnight temps were 11-15C. Soil was bought in, very sandy loam, I added 1 bag composted cow manure per 10m2 to help prevent sand crusting. Kept it damp, first babies appeared at about 12 days. By 21 days it was all up, needed a mow just to clip the tops. Very happy with the product and performance.
