See the limits by SSI score in <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-warm-up-linkedin-account-during-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compare your target with what your profiles can send.<\/strong> If the target is higher, connect more profiles or improve their SSI to unlock higher limits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a rule of thumb, one profile is enough for around 100 requests per week. For 200 to 300 requests per week, you may need two or three profiles to distribute the activity.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Improve SSI score<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>SSI is based on four factors: activity, engagement, network quality and profile completeness. Snov.io updates the SSI of each connected account automatically, so you can see when it is safe to raise your limits.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For higher limits, your accounts need to develop and maintain a good reputation on LinkedIn. There\u2019s a special metric for that \u2013 the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SSI score<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A higher score reflects a stronger account ready to perform more actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"197\" data-end=\"388\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before increasing your limits, <\/span>check your SSI score first and see what limit it supports.

Increase one action type at a time instead of scaling connection requests, messages, profile views, likes and follows all at once.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Use flexible (dynamic) limits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Flexible limit mode randomizes the number of daily actions within the minimum and maximum you set. It is safer than a fixed limit, because repetitive activity is easier for LinkedIn to detect. Your maximum should still match your SSI score. See <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-warm-up-linkedin-account-during-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this guide<\/a> for recommended fixed and flexible limits by SSI score.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Warm-up LinkedIn accounts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Warm-up mode increases your daily connection requests gradually, so your outreach volume looks natural to LinkedIn. If your account has been inactive, do some manual activity first. See <a href=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/how-to-enable-automatic-linkedin-account-warm-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this guide<\/a> to enable warm-up and adjust its settings.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Connect more LinkedIn accounts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If one account's limits aren't enough for your outreach, connect additional LinkedIn profiles to Snov.io to use as senders in your campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Each LinkedIn account requires a slot. To connect more accounts, first add slots on the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.snov.io\/account\/linkedin-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn accounts<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn slots are flexible and have prorated billing: you pay for the slot, not per account connection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means you can change the profile connected to the slot up to 3 times a month. We use dedicated proxies for each account to ensure they have a unique footprint (so LinkedIn sees them as separate users).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"notification-block tip\">\n<div class=\"notification-block__icon\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snov.io\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/themes\/knowledgebase\/assets\/img\/academicons_ideas-repec.svg\" alt=\"tip\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"notification-block__text\">\n<p>Important: LinkedIn policy states users can only have one account and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/answer\/a1337200\/merge-or-close-duplicate-accounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recommends merging duplicate accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you decide to use multiple LinkedIn profiles at the same time, consider using the accounts of your team members.
