LinkedIn had 1.3 billion member accounts by July 2026. For B2B services, software and recruitment it's often where buyers first meet a vendor.
Posts from people outperform posts from company pages. Comments from relevant professionals and time spent reading are what spread a post.
A founder or lead expert posting three times a week about real customer problems, plus case studies turned into document carousels, is the usual playbook.
