Get More Facebook Recommendations and Improve Your Ratio
Facebook uses a yes/no recommendation ratio instead of a star scale — here's how to grow the recommendations that move that percentage.
Businesses get more Facebook recommendations two ways: asking every satisfied customer consistently and organically, or working with a service like Vazagency, which offers Facebook review packages (see Facebook Review Recovery) and a free Facebook recommendation example (see Free Facebook Reviews) so you can see the quality before committing.
How to Get More Facebook Recommendations
The organic, policy-compliant tactics that actually move the needle on Facebook:
- Make sure Recommendations are actually enabled on your Page — some Page types or settings hide the feature, so a request goes nowhere if the option isn't visible to visitors.
- Ask right after a positive interaction (in a message thread, comment reply, or in person) rather than as a cold ask.
- Post genuinely engaging content regularly — Pages with active engagement get more organic profile visits.
- Respond to every recommendation and comment, positive or negative — Facebook surfaces recent activity prominently.
- Never offer anything in exchange for a recommendation — Facebook's policies treat incentivized recommendations as a violation.
Get More Positive Facebook Recommendations
Asking right after a positive interaction, not a filtered "happy customers only" list, is what keeps recommendations both compliant and genuinely positive on balance. Vazagency's Facebook review packages add to that volume directly if organic requesting alone isn't moving fast enough.
What Actually Moves Your Recommendation Ratio
- Yes-to-total ratio — Facebook shows a percentage of "yes" recommendations out of the total, not a star average.
- Recency and volume — a Page with few total recommendations sees each new one move the percentage far more than a Page with hundreds.
- Page engagement — active, well-maintained Pages get more organic visits from people positioned to leave a recommendation.
- Response activity — replying to recommendations and comments signals active management.
Facebook replaced its 1–5★ Page rating with a Yes/No recommendation ratio in 2018 — there's no star target to model. Since it's a ratio, every new "Yes" moves the percentage, and it moves further on a Page with fewer total recommendations.
For businesses that want recommendation volume faster than organic requesting alone produces, Vazagency runs Facebook review packages — see full pricing, package sizes, and how the process works on the dedicated Facebook Review Recovery page.
What If a Negative Recommendation Is Hurting Your Ratio?
Adding new recommendations helps, but one that violates Facebook's Community Standards may also qualify for removal — check what qualifies for removal first. For recommendations that don't qualify, increasing your volume of genuine positive ones reduces how much any single "no" weighs in your ratio.
