Reviews

How the in-dashboard review prompt works — when it shows, what gets public, where approved reviews appear, and how to dismiss it.

Updated today 3 min read

A small black banner appears in your dashboard once you've been on the platform for 14 days and you've actually used it (created a link or a QR). It asks for a review. That's the whole system, with three rules around it.

Paid accounts only. The review prompt is for business owners with a lifetime account — sub-users and free trials don't see it. We want testimonials from people who paid; everyone else is a different conversation.

What you control

What's public Three checkboxes when you submit: show name, show company, show photo. All on by default, all yours to uncheck. Not now → 30 days Click Not now and the prompt disappears for 30 days, then comes back once. After you submit, it never shows again. Pending → approved Every submission lands as pending. We read it, approve or reject, and only approved reviews appear on the public site.

What goes public

When you write a review, you decide what's surfaced next to your words:

1
Your name. The first name from your profile. Off → the review shows as "Linked.Codes customer".
2
Your company. If you've added a company name (and optionally a website), it shows under your name. With the website filled in, your company name becomes a link — a small backlink reward for the testimonial. Off → no company appears.
3
Your photo. If you've uploaded one to your account, it goes next to your name. Off → a small initial chip instead.

The submission form lets you fill in the company name and website inline — you don't have to leave the modal and edit your profile first. Both get saved back to your profile for next time.

Snapshotted at submission. Your name, company, website, and photo get captured into the review when you submit. If you change your profile later, the published review keeps the version you authorised. Edit it through us if you want it updated.

From pending to live

Every review goes through review (the meta-pun is unavoidable):

  • Pending the moment you submit. You get a thank-you toast; the prompt disappears from your dashboard for good.
  • Approved when we OK it. Approved reviews appear on /reviews and on whichever marketing pages match the tags we attach.
  • Rejected if we send it back. Reasons we'd reject: ambiguous wording, accidentally includes a competitor name we'd rather not amplify, or contains something you probably didn't mean to share publicly. You can edit and resubmit from your account.
Pages with fewer than 3 reviews stay hidden. The homepage testimonial section, the pricing page testimonial section — each only renders once at least 3 approved reviews carry that section's tag. Less than 3 = the section silently disappears. Looks intentional, not empty.

Dismissing the prompt

Click Not now and the banner stops appearing for 30 days. After 30 days it comes back once. After you submit, it's gone for good — there's only one review per account.

If you change your mind during the 30 days, the prompt isn't anywhere else in the dashboard for now. The next visit after the cooldown will surface it again.

Where reviews appear

/reviews The full wall, with the rolling average + count and schema.org markup so search engines can show the star rating. Homepage A "what customers say" section above the footer. Three reviews. Only appears with ≥3 reviews tagged homepage. /pricing Below the plan cards. Three reviews. Only appears with ≥3 reviews tagged pricing.
  • Account — set your name, photo, and (now) company + company website.
  • Feedback — for product requests and bug reports, not testimonials.
  • Affiliate — if you'd rather get paid to recommend us.
