No, LinkedIn doesn’t offer star reviews for companies; you can rate products, review service providers, or share a public post about the company.
People search this every day because they want a simple way to praise a brand, flag problems, or help others decide where to work or buy. LinkedIn doesn’t have a five-star rating box on a Company Page. That said, you still have solid ways to share feedback that shows up on the platform and helps others. This guide walks through each path, what it does, and when to use it.
Reviewing A Business On LinkedIn — What You Can And Can’t Do
There are three native paths on LinkedIn that feel like “reviews,” plus one off-LinkedIn path many job seekers rely on. Each option has a different home, audience, and level of proof. Pick the one that fits your intent: buyer advice, hiring insight, or vendor feedback.
| Method | Where It Lives | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Public Post Or Article | Your profile feed | Sharing a story, praise, or a cautionary tale that others can reshare |
| Product Recommendation | Company’s Product Page | Rating a specific product with a star score and short note |
| Service Provider Review | Individual’s Service Page | Feedback on a freelancer or firm run from a personal profile |
| Employee Recommendation | Person’s profile | Endorsing a manager or teammate by name |
| Job-Site Review (Off-Platform) | Sites like Glassdoor | Workplace pros/cons from employees and alumni |
What “Company Reviews” Mean On LinkedIn In Practice
Company Pages don’t carry a star score. You won’t find a “Rate this company” button there. Feedback lives in other places: posts, recommendations for people, ratings on Product Pages, and reviews on Service Pages. These routes are intentional, because they tie opinion to real identities or to a specific product purchase or service engagement.
Path 1: Write A Public Post That Names The Business
Short and open. Tag the Company Page with @, add a clear headline, include a photo, and write what happened. Stick to verifiable facts, what you experienced, and any proof you can share—screenshots of emails, dated order numbers, or timelines. If you want the company to see it, turn on “Anyone” visibility and add precise hashtags like #customerservice or #billing.
Pros
Fast, searchable, and tied to your identity. People can reshare it. The brand can reply in the comments, which often leads to a resolution.
Watch-Outs
Stay within the platform rules and local law. Avoid personal attacks. Stick to what you can prove. If there’s an NDA or pending claim, keep it off social platforms and use official channels.
Path 2: Leave A Product Recommendation
Some brands host Product Pages on LinkedIn with a “Products” tab. There you can rate a specific product and add a concise note. Once a product collects enough ratings, LinkedIn shows an average star score on that page. The goal is product-level feedback, not a blanket view of the employer or brand. LinkedIn’s own Product Pages FAQ confirms that any member who confirms product use can leave a rating and that the page shows an aggregate score after five reviews, with reviews tied to real profiles.
If you plan to write one, read LinkedIn’s product page guidelines so your note hits the mark and uses the right tone. These pages are built for short, balanced commentary that helps buyers, and LinkedIn spells out how ratings and moderation work in its official FAQ PDF.
Path 3: Review A Service Provider
Freelancers and agencies can enable a Service Page from a personal profile. Clients can then post a review of the engagement. Those reviews appear in the “Services” area and help others decide who to hire next. Company Pages themselves don’t accept service reviews; the review attaches to the person or team offering the service via a profile. Trade coverage also notes that providers can send review invites and manage requests from their Services admin view, which makes collection orderly and reduces spam.
Path 4: Share Workplace Insight On A Job-Review Site
If your goal is employer reputation—pay ranges, team behavior, or internal practices—use a site built for that. Those platforms compile anonymous employee reviews and trend data. Many job seekers cross-check both LinkedIn profiles and those sites while researching a move.
When To Pick Each Path
Match the channel to your aim. If you want fast attention from a brand about an order issue, write a crisp public post and tag them. If you want buyers to know a product excels or misses the mark, use the Product Page. If you hired a pro, drop a Service Page review. If you aim to guide job seekers about insider conditions, use an employee-review site.
Step-By-Step: The Cleanest Ways To Share Feedback
Write A Post That Others Trust
Open the composer, switch visibility to “Anyone,” and draft a short headline: “My experience with [Brand] return #[ID], dates MM/DD–MM/DD.” In the body, share the timeline in order, what you asked for, what you received, and how it ended. Add one photo of evidence. Tag the Company Page and any public team accounts. Before you publish, read your post out loud; trim hedging and keep adjectives low. Short, factual lines build trust.
Rate A Product On A Product Page
Find the company’s Page, click the “Products” tab, pick the item, and look for the rating prompt. Confirm you’re a real user, select the stars, and write a concise note that names a feature you used and the result you saw. Aim for 2–4 sentences. If you received the product for free or have a connection, say so in your note. LinkedIn’s Product Pages FAQ explains how reviews link to profiles and when the average rating appears, which helps keep the signal clean for buyers.
Leave A Review On A Service Page
Go to the provider’s profile, click “Services,” and find the project. If they already marked it complete, you should see the prompt to rate and review. If not, message them and ask for a review invite. Keep your text practical: scope, timeline, outcome, and whether you would hire again. Industry guides also point out that providers receive a limited set of invite credits each year, so expect a short request that references your past work with them.
Proof, Fairness, And Risk Management
LinkedIn ties feedback to real names. That’s powerful—and it carries risk if a post overreaches. Safe posts share facts, documents, and dates. They avoid rumor. They don’t name private individuals who aren’t public-facing. They invite the brand to reply. If you’re reporting illegal behavior or safety issues, use official channels first, then share a neutral status update that you reported it.
What Companies See And How They Respond
Most brands watch mentions. A clear post with receipts often gets a reply within a few days. Keep your tone steady. Suggest one fix you want: refund, replacement, or an update from a manager. If they resolve it, add a comment to close the loop so future readers see the outcome.
Policies That Shape Reviews On LinkedIn
Two official sources matter here. First, LinkedIn’s Product Pages FAQ (PDF) explains how item ratings work, including the five-review threshold for showing an average, and that reviews link to member profiles. Second, trade coverage walks through the Services reviews rollout and the invite-only collection flow for providers. Reading these helps you pick the right route and write the kind of note the platform expects.
| Action | Where To Click | Basic Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Post about a brand | Home → Start a post | Public visibility and a company tag |
| Rate a product | Company Page → Products → Product | Confirm you’re a user; short note |
| Review a provider | Provider Profile → Services | Completed project or invite |
| Share employee insight | Job-review site | Follow that site’s rules |
How To Spot The Right Place To Post
Finding The Products Tab
Open the brand’s Page. Look across the top tabs: Home, About, Posts, Jobs, Life, and Products. If you see Products, click it. Some Pages jump straight into a single Product Page; others list several items in alphabetical order. Pick the one you used, then scroll to the reviews area. If the page already has five or more reviews, you’ll see the average score near the top.
Finding A Service Page
Open the provider’s personal profile. Under the header, look for a Services badge or a “Providing services” panel. Click through to view their Services Page. If you’re a past client, the provider can send you a review invite. That link opens a guided form where you rate the engagement and write a short note.
How To Write Notes Buyers Trust
For Product Pages
Keep it short and concrete. Name the plan tier or module. Mention one task you ran and the outcome. Add one balanced line that names a trade-off or a wish list item. Keep puffery out. Buyers scan for details they can verify.
For Service Pages
State the scope (hours, sprint count, or milestone), the deliverable, and the result (e.g., “launched the campaign by the target date”). If you worked with a team, name the lead. If you’d hire again, say so in one line.
For Public Posts
Lead with the timeline and the exact touchpoints you used (store, chat, or email). Add a receipt number if you’re comfortable sharing it. Ask for one fix. End with “Happy to update this post if we resolve it.” That last line signals good faith and keeps readers with you.
What Not To Do When Sharing Feedback
Don’t Generalize
Avoid sweeping claims about thousands of customers or all staff. Keep your note anchored to your case and your proof.
Don’t Post Private Data
Blur addresses, phone numbers, and order barcodes. If a staffer handled a ticket and doesn’t use LinkedIn for work, skip their name.
Don’t Copy The Same Text Everywhere
Tailor your note to the channel. A Product Page needs product-specific detail; a public post needs a timeline; a Service Page review needs scope and outcome.
If You’re The Brand: Earn Reviews The Right Way
Ask buyers and clients the smart way. For Product Pages, the FAQ recommends sourcing at least five solid reviews to unlock the visible average and build trust with future visitors. For Services, industry write-ups explain that providers get a limited pool of invite credits each year, so target past clients who can write a crisp, balanced note. Never coach wording. Ask for honest, specific feedback and keep any perks separate from the review process.
Final Take
You can’t post a star score on a Company Page itself. You can publish a public post, rate an item on a Product Page, or review a provider on a Service Page. Pick the path that fits your aim—buyer advice, vendor feedback, or workplace insight—and write in a way readers can trust.
