Fiverr Pro freelancers can now showcase recommendations from external clients directly on their profiles. This new feature allows clients who haven't used Fiverr to leave reviews, helping potential clients get a more comprehensive picture of the freelancer's skills and experience.
How does it work?
Pro freelancers with less than three reviews can add up to five external recommendations from clients they’ve worked with in the past.
When prompted, here is what you should do to get the external reviews added to your profile:
- Ensure you're logged in and navigate to your Fiverr Pro Profile by clicking the "Take me to my Fiverr Pro profile" button.
- Locate the "recommendations" section. On the left side of your profile, scroll down until you find the section labeled "recommendations."
- Complete the form and submit your request. Fill out all required fields within the recommendation request form and click the button to send it.
- Await review. Your recommendation request will undergo a review process conducted by Fiverr's Pro team.
- Publication upon approval. If your request is approved, the recommendation will be published on your freelancer profile for visibility to potential clients.
Recommendation status
After a recommendation is submitted, it will be processed and assigned one of the following statuses, keeping you informed of its progress:
- Approved - the review will automatically be published on the freelancer’s profile.
- Rejected - the review was not approved by Fiverr’s internal team. At this point, the client may be asked to amend it and will have two weeks to do so.
- Pending - this marks that the review is undergoing the internal review process.
