LinkedIn users who have enlisted the Services they provide can now display Reviews & Ratings given by their clients, as customer testimonials to build trust with potential patrons.
Review for services enlisted on LinkedIn can be managed by professionals through the 'Service Page, these users can also send out review invites to encourage past clients to share their experience. The feature is currently only available on the desktop.
Once a LinkedIn Service Page has been created, and the professional starts providing services, they can invite up to 20 past clients (who must also be first-degree connections) to write a review about the service.
How to invite clients to review a service:

Click the Profile icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage
Click the View Profile button
Click the Providing services module at the top of your profile
