What gets accounts restricted
LinkedIn restricts accounts for a handful of reasons, and most of them are avoidable:
- Browser extensions that inject scripts into LinkedIn pages. These are the easiest automation for LinkedIn to fingerprint.
- Logins from datacenter IPs, or from several IPs in different countries in one day.
- Bursts of activity: 80 invitations in ten minutes at 3am.
- A high share of ignored or declined invitations, which tells LinkedIn your outreach looks like spam to the people receiving it.
- Sudden volume from an account that was quiet last week.
What Prospectio does about each
Residential IP per account. Every connected LinkedIn account gets its own residential IP in its own country, and keeps it. To LinkedIn it looks like you logging in from home.
Mobile-style API, not a browser plugin. Prospectio runs in the cloud and talks to LinkedIn the way the mobile app does. Nothing is installed in your browser and there’s no script for LinkedIn to detect.
Limits below the line. Daily and weekly limits are set under LinkedIn’s known thresholds by default. Actions are spread across working hours with randomised gaps. New or quiet accounts ramp up over two weeks.
The ICP filter reduces ignored invitations. This is the part most tools miss. If you only invite people who fit, more of them accept, and LinkedIn sees an account whose invitations are welcome. See the ICP filter.
Warm-up actions. Profile views, post likes and skill endorsements are mixed into sequences so the account behaves like a person, not a mailer.
What Prospectio won’t do
It won’t run a browser extension. It won’t let you set limits that we know get accounts flagged without a deliberate override and a warning. It won’t scrape or store data beyond what the campaign needs. And it won’t tell you automation is risk-free.
