How Do I Display LinkedIn Recommendations Reviews on My WordPress Site with Feedspace?

Overview

LinkedIn Recommendations are the gold standard of professional social proof. Unlike star ratings or brief review snippets, they are written directly by former clients, colleagues, or managers on your LinkedIn profile, making them highly credible, detailed, and verifiable. For freelancers, coaches, consultants, and agencies, showcasing these recommendations on your WordPress site can significantly increase visitor trust and convert prospects into paying clients. Feedspace lets you import your LinkedIn Recommendations and embed them in a polished widget, so your professional reputation is visible wherever your audience lands first.

What you need

• A Feedspace account with your LinkedIn Recommendations already imported
• A WordPress site where you want to display the recommendations
• The Feedspace WordPress plugin installed on your site

Step 1: Import your LinkedIn Recommendations into Feedspace

Before you can display your LinkedIn Recommendations on WordPress, you need to import them into Feedspace. If you have not done this yet, follow the LinkedIn Recommendations import guide to bring your professional endorsements into your Feedspace account.

1. Log in to your Feedspace account.
2. Click Import in the left sidebar.
3. Paste your LinkedIn profile URL into the input field. Feedspace detects the platform automatically.
4. Click Fetch Reviews, select the reviews you want to import, then click Import Review in the footer.

Step 2: Create a widget in Feedspace

Next, create a widget in Feedspace that will display your imported LinkedIn Recommendations. You can choose a layout that suits your WordPress page design.

1. Go to Widgets in the sidebar.
2. Click a template from the template strip, such as Carousel or Masonry, to create your widget. The editor opens automatically.
3. In the editor, select the reviews you want to include using the checkboxes on the left.
4. Switch to the Design tab to customise the colors and appearance to match your site.
5. Go to the Share tab. Under HTML/WordPress, copy the Widget ID from the WordPress plugin section for use in the next step.

Step 3: Install the Feedspace WordPress plugin

The Feedspace WordPress plugin lets you embed your widget on any page or post using a simple shortcode, without touching any code.

1. In your WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins and click Add New.
2. Search for Feedspace and click Install Now, then Activate.

Step 4: Add the widget to your WordPress page

With the plugin installed, you can now embed your LinkedIn Recommendations widget on any WordPress page or post using the Feedspace Widget block.

1. Open the WordPress page or post where you want to display the reviews.
2. In the Gutenberg editor, add a Feedspace Widget block to the location where you want the reviews to appear.
3. Paste the Widget ID you copied in Step 2 into the block.
4. Click Publish or Update to save the page.

Tips for displaying LinkedIn Recommendations

LinkedIn Recommendations carry unique weight because they are tied to real, verified professional profiles. Each recommendation includes the recommender’s name, job title, and relationship to you, making them far more credible than anonymous reviews. To make the most of this social proof, consider placing your recommendations widget on high-intent pages such as your homepage, services page, or pricing page, where trust matters most for conversion.

• Place the widget above the fold on landing pages to capture attention early.
• Use the Grid or Masonry layout to display multiple recommendations at once and reinforce the volume of your endorsements.
• Feature recommendations from well-known companies or senior titles prominently by pinning those reviews in Feedspace before building your widget.
• Combine LinkedIn Recommendations with other imported reviews in a single widget to show breadth of social proof across platforms.
