How to build it

1. Use LinkedIn Search Export to build your target list from a LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search.

2. Run LinkedIn Profile Visitor to appear in their "Who's Viewed Your Profile" notifications.

3. Chain LinkedIn Auto Follow to add another touchpoint.

4. Use LinkedIn Activity Extractor to find their recent posts.

5. Run LinkedIn Auto Liker to like a few of their posts, showing genuine interest.

Best practices for using LinkedIn Profile Visitor safely

Get the most out of this Automation while staying safe and compliant with LinkedIn's platform guidelines.

1. Optimize your input list

Start with a refined list of profiles aligned with your prospecting goals. Remove irrelevant or duplicate profiles to maximize efficiency. Use LinkedIn Leads filters or manually curate your list to ensure quality over quantity.

2. Respect LinkedIn's rate limits

To keep your account safe and avoid restrictions, follow these recommended limits:

Recommended limits: we recommend scraping a maximum of 80 profiles per day with this Phantom (150 with Sales Navigator).

Tip: If you're using email discovery with this Phantom, process half of the default daily recommendation to reduce the risk of hitting rate limits. For example, 40 profiles per day instead of 80.

Following these limits helps you stay under LinkedIn's radar and maintain long-term account health. Read more about LinkedIn's 2025 limits.

Start with the LinkedIn Profile Visitor tutorial for a step-by-step walkthrough. It covers authentication, input setup, scheduling, and exporting results. For broader scraping best practices, check out How to scrape data from LinkedIn in 2025.

Does LinkedIn Profile Visitor extract fresh, live data or rely on a static database?

LinkedIn Profile Visitor extracts live data directly from LinkedIn profiles in real time. You're not pulling from an outdated database. You're visiting profiles as a logged-in user and collecting the most current information available, including recent endorsements and role changes. Compare LinkedIn scrapers to see why live data beats static databases.

Is it safe and legal to visit LinkedIn profiles automatically?

Yes, when done responsibly. LinkedIn Profile Visitor simulates human behavior by visiting profiles naturally and respecting rate limits. We recommend staying within 80 profiles per day (150 with Sales Navigator) to keep your account safe. For full legal context and compliance guidance, read Is LinkedIn data scraping legal?

How many profiles can I visit per day safely?

We recommend a maximum of 80 profiles per day with this Phantom (150 with Sales Navigator). If you're using email discovery, reduce that to 40 profiles per day instead of 80 to stay well within LinkedIn's limits. Learn more about LinkedIn's 2025 connection, message, and view limits.

What's the difference between LinkedIn Profile Visitor and LinkedIn Profile Scraper?

LinkedIn Profile Visitor visits profiles (creating visibility with prospects) and extracts all publicly available data, including endorsements, full-profile screenshots, and connection counts. LinkedIn Profile Scraper focuses on extracting key data points without the profile visit action. Use Profile Visitor when you want to warm up leads by appearing in their notifications. Use Profile Scraper when you just need data extraction without visibility.

Can I integrate LinkedIn Profile Visitor into a multi-step workflow?

Absolutely. Combine LinkedIn Profile Visitor with other PhantomBuster Automations to create full prospecting workflows. For example, use LinkedIn Search Export to build your input list, then visit and enrich profiles with LinkedIn Profile Visitor, and finally sync enriched data to your CRM. Check out the warm-up playbook for a ready-made workflow.

What data does LinkedIn Profile Visitor extract that I can't get manually?

You get structured, exportable data on profile pictures, endorsements, connection counts, degrees of separation, subscriber counts, and full-profile screenshots. All of this is extracted automatically and delivered in a clean CSV format, saving you hours of manual copying and pasting. You also get consistency across thousands of profiles, which is impossible to achieve manually.

Why is LinkedIn Profile Visitor better than manual prospecting or static lead databases?

Manual prospecting doesn't scale, and static databases go stale fast. LinkedIn Profile Visitor extracts live data directly from LinkedIn while simulating natural human behavior. You're not buying outdated contact lists. You're building fresh, accurate lead lists on demand. Plus, visiting profiles warms up prospects before you reach out, increasing response rates compared to cold outreach.
