Leave A Recommendation On A Facebook Business Page — Step-By-Step
On Phone (iOS And Android)
Open the Facebook app and search for the business Page. On the Page, scroll to find the Reviews tab under the cover image. Tap Yes to recommend or No if you wouldn’t. Tap Share your experience to write clear, specific details that help future customers. You can add photos, tag features like “Service,” and select who can see your post. When you’re done, tap Share.
You can see Meta’s steps inside the Facebook Help Center guide.
On Desktop (Web Browser)
Sign in at facebook.com and visit the business Page. In the left menu, click Reviews. Choose Yes or No, then click Write a recommendation. Type your notes, add photos if they help, set the audience, and click Post.
Write Notes That Help Buyers
Why your words matter: short, concrete details help shoppers decide quickly. Instead of general praise, mention what you bought, timing, staff names, or price clarity. Add one photo that proves you were there. Keep a fair tone even if the visit went sideways; facts carry weight.
Where Reviews Show Up And Who Can See Them
Your post lives on the business Page under Reviews and on your profile based on the audience you choose. Pick Public if you want your advice to reach anyone. Pick Friends when you only want your circle to see it. If you tag photos, those follow the same audience setting. You can also copy the post link and share it in a message or group.
Edit, Update, Or Remove Your Recommendation
On the business Page’s Reviews section, find your post and tap the three dots. Choose Edit to tweak text, change photos, or update the audience. Choose Delete to remove it from the Page and your profile. If someone posted about your business and it breaks Facebook rules, report it from the same menu.
Can’t Find The Reviews Tab? Try This Checklist
Sometimes the Reviews tab is hidden or the button won’t load. Run through the quick checks below. If you manage a Page, the second table lists admin-side fixes.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No Reviews tab on a business | Page doesn’t use the Reviews tab or owner disabled it | Ask the owner; not all Page types show Reviews |
| Reviews won’t load in app | Outdated app or poor signal | Update the app, switch Wi-Fi, try the browser |
| Posted text didn’t appear | Audience set to Only me or Post failed | Set to Public/Friends and repost |
| You manage the Page, tab missing | Tab hidden in Templates and Tabs | Enable the Reviews tab in settings |
| You suspect a fake post | Content breaks rules | Report the Recommendation for review |
If You Own The Page: Turn Reviews On
Admins can show or hide the Reviews tab. Open your Page on desktop, go to Settings ▸ Templates and Tabs, and switch Reviews on. Move it higher in the tab list so visitors spot it. If your Page template doesn’t include Reviews, add it with Add a Tab. Some categories don’t offer Reviews; in those cases, Recommendations stay off.
If you spot a post that breaks rules, use the report Recommendations page to flag it.
Write A Helpful Recommendation That People Trust
Start with one line that says what you bought or used. Add two or three facts: wait time, staff name, parking, order accuracy, or refund ease. Mention the date so readers can judge recency. Balance the tone: praise what worked and state what didn’t. Skip private data like order numbers or phone numbers.
Strong And Weak Lines Compared
Weak: “Great place.” Better: “Brunch on Sunday at 11 a.m.; host seated us in five minutes, eggs came hot, and the bill matched the menu.” Weak: “Bad service.” Better: “Pickup scheduled for 6 p.m.; food handed over at 6:40 p.m., team offered a drink voucher that helped.”
Fairness, Photos, And Respect
Photos should show your own visit, not someone else’s post. Stick to details you saw yourself. Avoid naming private individuals who didn’t serve you. Legal claims or accusations need proof; if the issue is serious, contact the business directly as well.
When To Report A Recommendation
If a post includes hate speech, threats, spam, or personal data, open the three-dot menu on that item and pick Report post. Choose the reason that fits. Facebook reviews reports help moderators apply the Community Standards. If a tool breaks, send a problem report from your account menu.
Quick Wins For Shoppers And Owners
Shoppers: scan the most recent posts first, then filter by tags like “Service” or “Delivery.” Owners: reply with calm, short notes and a path to fix issues. Ask happy customers for a line or two while the visit is fresh. Keep responses human; canned lines feel cold.

Smart Tags And Phrases That Save Readers Time

Copy-And-Tweak Review Template
Line 1: What you used and when — “Oil change on 15 Aug; walk-in at noon.” Line 2: One strength — “Front desk greeted in under a minute.” Line 3: One gap — “Service ran 20 minutes over quoted time.” Line 4: Would you return and why — “Yes, fair price and clear notes on parts.”
Do’s And Don’ts That Keep Your Post Clear
- Do add the date and time.
- Do mention product names or order type.
- Do attach one photo that proves context.
- Do keep brand praise or frustration grounded in facts.
- Don’t paste private data like order IDs or phone numbers.
- Don’t tag people who weren’t part of your visit.
- Don’t upload screenshots that reveal card details.
Which Page Types Commonly Show Reviews
Many shops and local services show the Reviews tab. Some public figure pages and groups don’t. If you can’t see Reviews, the owner may use a template that hides it or a category that lacks it. That’s normal.
Owner Tips That Raise Response Quality
Place the Reviews tab near the top of your tab list. Reply to fresh posts within a business day. Use names when replying: “Thanks, Mia.” Offer a path to fix issues in one sentence, then move details to private chat. Pin a post that explains how to leave a Recommendation with a short clip or image.
Local Service Notes
Restaurants: mention wait times, table availability, and item accuracy. Clinics: mention booking ease, check-in flow, and staff clarity. Home services: add timing windows, cleanup, and final invoice match. Delivery: add driver courtesy and packaging.
Accessibility Details That Matter
Details that help neighbors: step-free entry, wide doors, restroom access, quiet seating, large-print menus, hearing loops, and Braille labels. If you saw any of these, add a brief note. If you didn’t, say so in neutral terms.
Tone Tips That Keep Things Balanced
Short sentences read well on phones. Stick to facts you saw. Use clear verbs like “arrived,” “served,” “charged,” “replaced.” Avoid slang that ages fast. Keep it civil; insults get ignored and may be removed.
Common Mistakes That Hide Your Post
Walls of text, no date, no context, or an audience set to Only me. Fix these and your advice reaches more people.
Quick Wrap-Up
You can post a Recommendation from any device in under a minute: find the Page, open Reviews, choose Yes or No, and share useful details. That one post helps neighbors spend money wisely and helps owners see what to keep and what to improve.
