Make a conscious choice
Are you looking for a new way to maintain your presence on LinkedIn? Then Showcase Pages are a good replacement for the defunct Products & Services. Make sure you think carefully about the components you place in them. Once you start collecting followers on these subpages, it is difficult to go back and reconsider your choices.
If customer ratings and reviews are more important to your organization, look for an option that best suits your organization and your type of customers. Facebook offers a good option and will be the most common solution for B2C markets. Google reviews are focused on local businesses and establishments and placing reviews on your own website is of course always a (sustainable) option.
