Overview

LinkedIn is the B2B powerhouse. Organic reach is the best of any mainstream platform (5-15% of followers is normal) and conversion rates from thought-leadership posts are 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than any other channel. Flayr's ideal audience.

Daily posting limits

  • Posts per day
    20 posts (personal profile)
  • Caption length
    3,000 characters
  • Company Page posts
    100 posts/day

New account rules

No documented new-account throttle, but brand-new profiles with zero engagement history rarely break 2% reach. LinkedIn's algorithm favours accounts with a posting history — Flayr suggests consistency over velocity.

Content type restrictions

  • Video length
    Up to 10 minutes
  • Image size
    100MB per image
  • Document size
    100MB PDF carousels

Rate limits

Marketing API: 100 calls/hour/member for personal, 500/hour/page for company. Zernio handles the token rotation so users rarely trip these.

Known issues

  • Links in the main post body are down-ranked. Flayr auto-suggests moving links to the first comment.
  • Native video outperforms YouTube embeds by ~3× on average. Flayr warns on YouTube embeds.
  • Hashtags cap at 5 before the algorithm starts ignoring them.

Recent platform changes

  • 2026-01-15
    LinkedIn deprecated the legacy /shares v1 endpoint — Zernio migrated to /posts v2 without breakage.

How Flayr handles this

Flayr auto-detects links in post bodies and offers to move them to the first comment (where LinkedIn does not de-rank them). Native video uploads use LinkedIn Video Ad APIs for best reach.
