LinkedIn best practices

Implement these steps to ensure your LinkedIn outreach complies with LinkedIn’s guidelines using SmartReach.io

Personalise connection requests:

• Use merge tags (e.g., {{first_name}}, {{company}}) to include prospect-specific details in your connection requests.
• Example: “Hi {{first_name}}, I saw your work at {{company}} and thought we could connect over shared interests in {{industry}}.”
• Benefit: Personalised messages align with LinkedIn’s emphasis on genuine networking, increasing acceptance rates.

Limit daily connection requests:

• Set the daily connection request limit to 10-20 per day in SmartReach.io.
• Benefit: Staying within LinkedIn’s recommended limits avoids spam detection and account restrictions.

Space out actions with drip campaigns:

• Configure delays (e.g., 3-5 days) between connection requests and follow-up messages in SmartReach.io’s drip campaign settings.
• Benefit: Gradual engagement mimics natural interactions, adhering to LinkedIn’s policies on authentic outreach.

Cap daily messages:

• Limit messages to 50-75 per day for first-degree connections in SmartReach.io’s campaign settings, keeping within LinkedIn’s safe range.
• Benefit: Staying under LinkedIn’s unofficial messaging thresholds reduces the risk of triggering spam filters.

Engage with prospects before messaging:

• Use SmartReach.io to automate profile visits before sending messages.
• Use a multichannel strategy by sending a couple of emails and then followed by LinkedIn touch points.
• Benefit: Prior engagement warms up prospects, aligning with LinkedIn’s focus on meaningful interactions and improving response rates.
