LinkedIn for service businesses that want leads

Turn expertise into conversations with posts buyers actually read.

Hannah LindqvistSep 2, 20261 min read

On LinkedIn, buyers hire people they already trust. Your posts are a long job interview.

Post from a person's profile

People tend to engage with people more readily than with logos. Have the founder or lead consultant post, and reshare from the page.

Teach in public

  • Share one lesson from a recent project, without client names.
  • Explain a common mistake and how you fix it.
  • Break down a process in five short steps.

Write for the scroll

The first two lines decide everything. Lead with a clear claim or a number, keep paragraphs to one or two lines, and end with a question.

Turn comments into conversations

Reply to every comment in the first hour. Buffer (vendor data, correlational) found posts where the creator replied to comments had 30% higher engagement on LinkedIn. When someone asks a detailed question, move it to a DM with a helpful answer, not a pitch.

Keep a steady cadence

Two or three posts a week, every week, beats a burst followed by silence.

Frequently asked questions

Should I post from my company page or personal profile?

Both, but lead with the personal profile. People engage with people.

How long should a LinkedIn post be?

Long enough to teach one thing, short enough to finish. Test a few lengths against your own results.
