Having trouble figuring out how to leave a Facebook review in 2025? Meta’s recent platform updates have changed quite a bit about how we interact with business pages, but I’ll walk you through the current process step by step.
Finding the Business Page
First things first – you’ll need to locate the business page you want to review. The easiest way is to use Facebook’s enhanced search bar at the top of your screen. Just type in the business name, and look for the verified checkmark to ensure you’re on the official page. With Meta’s new unified business verification system, legitimate businesses now display a holographic badge that changes color when you tilt your device.
Navigating to Reviews
Once you’re on the business page, look for the “Community Feedback” section – that’s what Meta now calls the reviews area. It’s usually located in the left sidebar on desktop or by scrolling down on mobile. If you don’t see it immediately, tap the new “More Info” floating button that appears at the bottom right of your screen.
Important: Verification Requirements
Before you can leave a review in 2025, Facebook requires you to verify your identity through their updated trust score system. This helps prevent fake reviews and ensures more authentic feedback. Don’t worry – it’s usually just a quick face scan using your device’s camera or a fingerprint check if you’re on mobile.
Writing Your Review
Click the “Share Experience” button (it replaced the old “Write a Review” option). You’ll notice the new review interface allows you to:
– Add photos with AI-enhanced tagging
– Record a 15-second video testimonial
– Use voice-to-text for longer reviews
– Add location verification to prove you visited
Tips for Effective Reviews
I always recommend being specific about your experience. Meta’s new review algorithm rewards detailed feedback over simple star ratings. Share what made your experience unique, mention specific employees who helped you, and be honest about both positives and negatives.
Review Visibility
Something many people don’t realize is that Facebook now uses a dynamic visibility system for reviews. The more active you are on the platform and the more complete your profile is, the more prominence your review will receive. I’ve found that adding a photo or video to your review increases its visibility by about 40%.
Remember, once you submit your review, it might take up to 24 hours to appear publicly while it goes through Meta’s automated authenticity check. If you need to edit your review later, you can access it through your new “Community Contributions” dashboard in your profile settings.
