Almost lost a great review because my client is in his 60s and doesn't have LinkedIn.
Genuinely. Contra flagged it - no LinkedIn profile attached, so it looked unverifiable. Except the client is real, the project was real, and he's just not the type to be on LinkedIn at his age.
So I did the only thing that made sense - sent Contra actual email proof of the working relationship. Back and forth a few times. No shortcuts, no "just trust me."
They approved it.
Small thing, but it told me something: the verification here isn't just checkbox theater. It's actually trying to confirm the work happened, not just whether you fit a profile template.
Also a reminder for anyone else collecting reviews, your best clients aren't always your most "digitally visible" ones. Worth fighting for those reviews anyway.

Legal and compliance software is bought by careful people. General counsel, procurement, and security reviewers read everything a company publishes before they agree to a call.
I designed and built Proviso for the companies selling to them. It’s a Framer template family with a live review demo that shows the product in action, and a Trust Center, run from the CMS, that answers security questions up front.
It comes in three tiers. Proviso covers the essentials; Pro adds a page for each part of the product; and Max adds a blog, webinars, and a changelog. All three are Framer Agent Templates, so the pages Framer’s agent adds match the rest of the site.
