Add a client testimonial
Enter a testimonial you were given, with the client's name and the permission that lets you publish it.
Short answer
Open Profile, expand the Reviews panel and add a testimonial. You enter the client's display name and their words, then confirm you have their permission to publish it. You can hold up to five.
A testimonial is the single most persuasive thing you can put on your profile, and it takes about a minute to add one you already have.
Add one
- Open the Profile tab and expand the Reviews panel.
- Add a client testimonial.
- Enter the client's display name — how you want them credited.
- Paste or type their words.
- Confirm you have their permission to publish it.
- Save.
Limits
Testimonial limits
| Field | Limit |

| Testimonials held | Up to 5 |
| Display name | 2 to 80 characters |
| Testimonial text | 10 to 500 characters |
Five is deliberate. A wall of twenty testimonials is read as decoration; five strong ones are read.
Choosing the words
- Use what the client actually wrote. A polished paraphrase reads like marketing because it is.
- Specific beats effusive. "Sold in six days over asking" outperforms "absolutely wonderful to work with".
- Trim rather than rewrite. Cutting a long email down to its two best sentences is honest; adding sentences is not.
- Credit them as they are comfortable being credited — a first name and an initial is common and completely acceptable.
Permission is a real step, not a checkbox to click past. See Confirm permission and show a testimonial publicly for what you are attesting to and why it matters.
Where do these appear?
In the Reviews section of your public profile, and as a source for Client Testimonial share graphics.
Whether the Reviews section appears at all is controlled in Profile Sections.
If this doesn't work
- You cannot add a sixth.
- Five is the limit. Remove one you have outgrown — a testimonial from four years ago is usually the one to drop.
- The text will not save.
- It is under 10 characters or over 500. The field tells you which.
- The testimonial does not appear publicly.
- Either permission has not been confirmed, or the Reviews section is switched off. Both are covered in the permission article.
