Optimize Your Posts for the LinkedIn Algorithm
Understanding the LinkedIn algorithm is pivotal in creating content that resonates with your audience and increases visibility. The algorithm assesses users’ interests based on the groups, hashtags, pages, and people they follow and evaluates prior interactions to prioritize posts in their feed.
Gaining insights into the algorithm allows you to customize your content, connect with the right audience, and enhance engagement on the platform.
The LinkedIn algorithm is a complex recommendation system that curates the content in a user’s feed. It considers various factors, such as the user’s interests, connections, and engagement history, to display the most relevant posts. With over 950 million members, the algorithm processes billions of posts daily to create a personalized experience for each user.
How the Algorithm Works: A Deep Dive
- Initial Content Filtering: When you post content on LinkedIn, the algorithm first checks for spam or violations against community guidelines. If the content passes this initial filter, it moves to the next stage.
- Engagement Signals: The algorithm then observes how users engage with your post. It looks for meaningful interactions, such as thoughtful comments and shares, rather than likes. The more genuine engagement your post receives, the higher it will rank in others’ feeds.
- Content Relevance: The algorithm also evaluates the relevance of your content to individual users. It considers user skills, location, and past engagement to determine how well your post aligns with their interests.
Strategies for LinkedIn Algorithmic Success
In June 2023, LinkedIn rolled out significant changes to its algorithm. These updates emphasize personal and professional updates, allowing your content to reach a broader audience within your network. The algorithm now prioritizes content that offers valuable insights, advice, or knowledge.
- Be Relevant and Informative: Craft content that aligns with the skills and interests of your target audience. Use analytics from other platforms to understand what your audience cares about and tailor your LinkedIn strategy accordingly.
- Optimal Posting Times: Timing is crucial. Post when your audience is most active to maximize engagement. Tools like Hootsuite offer personalized recommendations for the best times to post.
- Encourage Meaningful Engagement: Ask questions that provoke thought and discussion. This not only boosts your post’s visibility but also provides valuable insights into your audience’s preferences.
- Avoid Outbound Links: LinkedIn’s algorithm tends to downrank posts with external links. If you must include a link, place it in the comments section. I break this rule all the time but haven’t A/B tested this to see the differences in both styles. I like seeing the link preview in a post personally, but I am sure that I trade optimal results for personal preferences. I am going to start experimenting with posts published on LinkedIn and link back to other content on my website.
- Craft Original Content: Original posts generally receive more engagement than shared content. Add your unique perspective to make your posts stand out.
LinkedIn Content Criteria for the Best Engagement
- LinkedIn Posts with 1900-2000 words have the best performance and engagement
- rate. This means that long-form content is the king on LinkedIn.
- A LinkedIn post with an image gets 2x the engagement rate.
- Posts with Titles of 40-50 characters have the best performance rate.
- 60% of LinkedIn users actively seek industry insights.
- Businesses with an active LinkedIn Page receive 5 times more page views, 7 times more impressions, and 11 times more clicks per follower.

Engaging on LinkedIn, Being Human with AI
Beyond posting, I spend about 45 minutes a day interacting with my audience. Combining AI tools with authentic human engagement is the key to fostering meaningful connections and interactions on LinkedIn. AI can be utilized to personalize connection requests, using technologies such as ChatGPT to craft messages tailored to the recipient, considering shared interests, mutual connections, and recent accomplishments to increase the likelihood of request acceptance.

They can provide prompt and tailored responses to inquiries, disseminating pertinent content as well as fostering relationships with your connections.

Create a LinkedIn Post from a URL with ChatGPT and Plugins
One of my most common tasks is to create a LinkedIn post to point back to a blog post. I typically write a lot of long-form content that’s too much for LinkedIn, and frankly, I want to build all my content on my company website, using the following prompt with ChatGPT Plus with web browsing or plugins like Web Pilot will create a blog post from a URL. I like to use the convention of brackets for variables in my prompts. In the following prompt, you will replace the [URL] with the URL you want to create a post for. The results will be a post that you may need to tweak, but it’s a huge time saver and a good way to create LinkedIn posts to promote your content.

Social Images with DALLE-3
Since the release of DALL-E 3 I have been using it more and more frequently to create images for my posts and presentations. I will say that it’s seen big improvements over DALL-E 2 but it’s still not the best in my opinion. I am still a fan of Midjourney but it does some advantages. For example, it’s probably the best vision model I have seen for creating text as part of the image but it’s still wrong more than it’s right. For all the images that aren’t screenshots in this post I used DALLE-3
GenerativeAI to Create LinkedIn Post Images

Optimizing Your LinkedIn Profile
AI-driven tools can assist in identifying the most effective keywords for your industry and profession and provide keyword optimization, headline suggestions, and personalized content recommendations.
Profile Picture and Background
A professional profile picture and background can make a strong first impression on your LinkedIn profile, setting you apart from others and helping to build trust with potential employers, clients, and colleagues. Your photo is your virtual handshake, so upload a photo that aligns with your role as a professional but that makes you approachable. LinkedIn members who include a profile photo receive 21x more profile views and up to 36x more messages. Here’s my profile for example that I ahe optimized.
Ensure your profile picture is clear and of high resolution and that your background is professional and relevant to your industry to maximize your profile’s impact. One of the most important things on your LinkedIn Profile is your LinkedIn banner. To make sure that it’s clear and eye-catching as well as an opportunity to help provide more information to visitors to your profile.
The maximum size for your personal LinkedIn page banner is 1584 pixels wide x 396 pixels tall. The file size for the cover image can be up to 8 MB. LinkedIn accepts these file types: JPG, GIF, and PNG.
Here are a couple of ways to make the banners using artificial intelligence.
- AppyPie Free AI LinkedIn Banner Maker – Create LinkedIn Banner Images, Videos, and animations using AI LinkedIn Banner Generator.
- Designs.AI LinkedIn Banner Maker – You can use Designs.AI to create a banner for free.
- Use DALL-E 3 as part of ChatGPT Plus (or Bing Image Creator for a free alternative) – You can use DALL-E to create a LinkedIn Banner, but unfortunately, you will not be able to create a banner that adheres to the exact size needed for LinkedIn. So, if you go to this route you will likely need to crop and resize the image. Given that these images are rasterized they can’t be resized without some distortion.
Headline and Summary
Crafting a compelling headline and summary for your LinkedIn profile can showcase your expertise and value proposition, making it more attractive to potential connections and aligning with the desired job description. AI tools like ChatGPT can offer AI-generated suggestions to help you create eye-catching headlines demonstrating your strengths, accomplishments, and unique selling points.
Alongside AI utilization, manual optimization of your headline and summary is crucial, which involves incorporating pertinent keywords, being precise and descriptive, and steering clear of keyword stuffing. Ensure your headline and summary are concise and attention-grabbing to maximize the effectiveness of your LinkedIn profile.
ChatGPT Prompt to Create a LinkedIn Headline and Abstract
You can even use LinkedIn to improve your LinkedIn Headline and abstract to help make it more appealing and increase engagement. I find it hard to write about myself as I am not much of a braggart, but using ChatGPT Plus with web browsing allows you to update your LinkedIn profile. I used the following prompt to tune some personal profiles for friends.. The interactive prompt will interview the user and provide a draft of the headline and About/Bio for your LinkedIn Profile.
Write in English. Act as a copywriter expert in LinkedIn about/bio sections; you will help me re-write my LinkedIn headline and about/bio from the my LinkedIn URL.
You will do the following:
- Start with a succinct but compelling LinkedIn Headline (maximum character length of 220)
- Write a LinkedIn Bio (3-7 paragraphs based on the diversity of my background, 2600 characters maximum)
- Uses a keyword-rich skills list in the LinkedIn Bio, if my profile has skills endorsements that are relevant to the narrative of my bio then use them.
**Here’s are some examples of LinkedIn Headlines**Abstrac
The Diversified Solopreneur | Building my one-person business to $5M in revenue. Posts & articles about the process.
I help companies understand and use artificial intelligence. I share my knowledge via The Artificially Intelligent Enteprise newsletter.
**Here is an example of a great LinkedIn About/Bio:**
I caught fire coding.
I always thought my dream was to be a proofreader for a little indie publishing company, sipping my cafe con leche and reading the opening lines to the next best-selling vampire novel. It seemed like an appropriate dream given my BA in English. I gravitated toward proofreading and quality control positions and even started my own proofreading business. But I kind of just felt meh. I yearned to learn more, yearned to learn something different.
And that's when it happened; the spark I was missing ignited the instant I clicked play on my first Python tutorial video. (I mean seriously, how could it not be great when it's named after Monty Python's Flying Circus?) Since then, I can't get enough. Web development calls to all my passions; it incorporates creativity and problem solving and I'm allowed to break it to improve the code (in a separate Git branch, of course).
I love applying responsive design principles and watching my web pages shrink into mobile screens and still look amazing. It's oddly satisfying. I think in a way I'm kind of like those web pages; I'm moldable, but I still keep my creative flare intact.
My specialties include quickly learning new skills and programming languages, problem solving, domain driven design, responsive design principles, website optimization, and the Model View View Model (MVVM) and Model View Controller (MVC) methods of organizing code. So far I have C#, .Net Framework, SQL, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, Angular, and Git/GitHub under my belt. I'm still enthusiastically grabbing onto any other programming languages, frameworks, or principles I can integrate into the coding web in my head.
Now ask these questions one by one; ask the 1st question and then let me answer; then, ask me the second question, then ask me the third question and then the fourth and finally ask me the fifth question.
1. What is your expertise?
2. Who is your target audience?
3. What are the pain points of your target audience?
4. What value do you bring in ?
5. What is the URL of your LinkedIn Profile?
After all questions are answered create a draft of a LinkedIn Headline and About/Bio.
