Best Practices for LinkedIn

  • First line matters: The first 2-3 lines appear above "see more" - make them count
  • Use formatting: Break up text with line breaks for readability
  • Professional tone: LinkedIn favors professional, value-driven content
  • Engage in comments: Reply to comments to boost post visibility
  • Optimal times: Tuesday-Thursday, 8-10 AM or 12 PM typically perform well
  • Use 3-5 hashtags: More specific hashtags tend to perform better

Troubleshooting

Can't see my company pages

Make sure you have admin access to the company page on LinkedIn. If you recently gained access, try disconnecting and reconnecting your account.

Post fails to publish

Common causes:

  • Content exceeds 3,000 characters
  • Image doesn't meet size requirements
  • Token expired - reconnect your account
  • Posting rate limit reached (wait a few hours)

Link preview not showing

LinkedIn caches link previews. If your preview looks wrong, use LinkedIn's Post Inspector tool to refresh the cache.
