In this article, you'll learn how to keep your LinkedIn account safe while you collect leads and run outreach with Snov.io.<\/p>\n

This guide shows how many prospects you can safely collect from LinkedIn with Snov.io, and how to plan your volume so your account stays safe.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn sets daily limits on activities such as profile views, connection requests, and messages. These limits apply to your LinkedIn account, whichever tool you use on it. Snov.io has three ways to work with LinkedIn, and each one adds to the activity on your account: LI Prospect Finder<\/a> collects leads from the pages you browse, LinkedIn Search<\/a> finds leads from your Snov.io account, and LinkedIn Automation<\/a> runs outreach.<\/p>\n

Safe daily limits for each tool<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lead and data collection with LI Prospect Finder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Each prospect you save counts as a LinkedIn profile view. To stay safe, keep your daily total below these approximate limits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
LinkedIn account<\/th>\nProspects per day<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Free<\/td>\nabout 150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Premium<\/td>\nabout 500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sales Navigator<\/td>\nabout 1,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n
\"learn\"<\/div>\n
\n

These limits are approximate and depend on the age of your LinkedIn account and its SSI score<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Using LinkedIn Search to save leads<\/strong><\/h3>\n

LinkedIn Search finds prospects by filters or by a search URL through the LinkedIn account you connect to Snov.io. The recommended limit is up to 500 leads per day, and only for Premium and Sales Navigator accounts. It uses the same LinkedIn account, so its activity adds up with LI Prospect Finder and LinkedIn Automation. For details, see this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outreach with LinkedIn Automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

LinkedIn Automation sends profile visits, post likes, endorsements, connection requests, and messages. Its limits depend on your SSI score. The default limit is 20 actions per day for each action type, and the highest recommended limit is 40. For the full table by SSI score, see this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to use Snov.io with LinkedIn safely<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Plan your collection volume<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Multiply the number of pages by the number of prospects per page. Free and Premium search results show 10 prospects per page, and Sales Navigator shows 25. For example, scanning 20 pages in Sales Navigator collects up to 500 prospects.<\/p>\n

To set the range, click Multipage<\/strong> in the sidebar and choose the first and last page under Pages to scan<\/strong>. Under Delay between profiles<\/strong>, set a range in seconds. The extension waits a random time within that range before it opens each profile. The panel shows the estimated time for your search.<\/p>\n

\"Multipage<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\"note\"<\/div>\n
\n

The extension does not stop saving when you reach your daily limit, so choose a page range that keeps your total below it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Collect and run outreach on different days<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Profile views from LI Prospect Finder, LinkedIn Search, and LinkedIn Automation add up on the same LinkedIn account. If you connect the same account to these tools, it is better not to collect leads and run outreach on the same day.<\/p>\n

\n
\"note\"<\/div>\n
\n

The LI Prospect Finder warning counts only the profiles you view with the extension, not the views from LinkedIn Search or LinkedIn Automation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For example, collect and save prospects on Monday and Tuesday, then start the outreach sequence on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

If you connect two LinkedIn accounts to Snov.io, one for collecting and one for outreach, each account has its own limits.<\/p>\n

What to do if you reach a limit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LI Prospect Finder warns you before you go over the safe limit. On a free LinkedIn account, the warning appears at 135 profile views, and the recommended maximum is 150. Premium and Sales Navigator accounts get an alert when they approach their limit.<\/p>\n

\"Daily<\/a><\/p>\n

The warning says your account may be blocked if you continue. You can click Continue anyway<\/strong>, but it is safer to stop.<\/p>\n

To stop a search that is already running, click Stop<\/strong> next to the search under Search history<\/strong> in the sidebar. Prospects already collected stay in your list. If you stop the search right after it starts, it may be cancelled entirely.<\/p>\n
