Are you curious to know who viewed your LinkedIn profile?
LinkedIn keeps track of everyone who visited your profile. With this information, you can find new networking opportunities and improve your LinkedIn strategy.
So, how can you see the list of people that viewed your LinkedIn profile? And what are this feature’s limitations?
Can You See Who Viewed Your LinkedIn Profile?
You can see the people who visited your LinkedIn page in the last 90 days. However, LinkedIn’s information depends on whether you have a free or Premium account.
On a Free LinkedIn Account
The free LinkedIn account will only show the name and headline of the last 5 people who viewed your page. But you’ll still see the total number of viewers you had in the past 90 days.
On a Premium LinkedIn Account
The paid LinkedIn account shows everyone who viewed your page in the last 365 days. It also gives you more in-depth viewer insights, like how many times you’ve appeared on a user’s search result
However, even if you have a Premium LinkedIn account, you won’t see semi-private and private profiles that view your brand’s page.
Besides your account type, LinkedIn has three profile privacy settings that affect which viewers you’ll see. They can view your profile publicly, semi-privately, or anonymously:
- Public accounts: You’ll get a complete picture of your viewers. You’ll see their name, headline, location, and industry.
- For Semi-Private Accounts: You’ll see a mix of their job title, industry, or educational background. However, you won’t see their name and headline.
- For Private Accounts: You won’t know anything about your viewer. You’ll only see “A LinkedIn Member” when they view your brand’s page.
Pro Tip: Alternatively, you can view the people who visited your page directly on your home page. Look for the Who’s Viewed Your Profile option below your profile name and headline.
However, this option is only possible on the web.
How Do You See Who’s Viewed Your LinkedIn Profile?
Seeing who viewed your LinkedIn page in the past three months is simple. You can do it on the web or mobile app.
The steps are:
Step 1 – Click Me on the top of your dashboard.
Step 2 – Go to View Profile.
Step 3 – Scroll down and look for Analytics.
Step 4 – Select Profile Views to see your viewer insights.
Can You View a LinkedIn Profile in Private Mode?
When checking out your competition or visiting a job candidate profile, you might want to stay anonymous.
The best way to do that is to set your profile to “Private” so LinkedIn doesn’t share your profile information. Here are the steps for it:
Step 1 – Click Me on the topmost part of your dashboard.
Step 2 – Select Settings & Privacy under the Account section.
Step 3 – Go to Visibility.
Step 4 – Press Profile Viewing Options under the Visibility of Your Profile & Network section.
Step 5 – Set your account to Private Mode to be entirely anonymous.
Once your LinkedIn account is in semi-private or private mode, you can view other users’ accounts without them being notified.
Note: You won’t see your viewers if your account is private. Learn more about how to view LinkedIn profiles in private mode in our other guide.
Wrapping It Up!
You can see who viewed your LinkedIn profile if they didn’t set their account to Private.
