Service providers can create a Service Page on LinkedIn. Service Pages are free dedicated landing pages that showcase services and businesses, and operate on a request and proposal model. Potential clients can contact providers for free, regardless of connection degree.
In general, the steps to work with a service provider on LinkedIn are:
-
A potential client searches for a provider on LinkedIn or through the Services Marketplace. When the client clicks on a provider, they're directed to the provider’s Service Page.
-
The client submits a project request (request for proposal) to a provider.
-
The provider responds with a proposal to express interest in the project. Your response time average from the past 180 days will be displayed on your Service Page if you respond to inquiries within 24 hours, and your response rate average will be displayed if you respond to at least 80% of inquiries.
-
Once the client receives a desirable proposal, the client and provider agree on the terms of the project and the provider completes the work.
-
Payment for project completion happens through the service provider’s preferred process, outside of LinkedIn.com.
-
The provider can invite the client to write a review.
Keep in mind:
-
The services on a provider's Service Page can be displayed on any member's feed.
-
All members can use LinkedIn search to find Service Pages, depending on the provider's public profile visibility settings.
-
Providers can link their Service Page to their LinkedIn Page under certain circumstances.
Service providers can organize their work through their Service Page. In their admin view, Service providers can access requests, projects, client lists, and review invitations.
