Questions
How do you bold text on LinkedIn?+
LinkedIn has no formatting buttons for posts. Tools like this swap your letters for Unicode bold or italic characters, which LinkedIn displays as styled text.
Does formatted text hurt reach or search?+
Styled letters are different characters, so LinkedIn search and screen readers don’t read them as normal words. Style a few key words, not whole paragraphs.
What are LinkedIn’s character limits?+
Posts 3,000 characters, comments 1,250, headlines 220, connection notes 300 and the About section 2,600.

“Find people at UK fintechs who are hiring SDRs, add them to a list and start my warm-intro campaign.”
“Updately gave us control of what we were doing as opposed to giving the keys and letting them go. But most importantly, the reason why we joined Updately was because it was a third of the price of the agency that we were using to do a similar type of outreach.”
“If you don't have an active, engaged LinkedIn pipeline and you have a clearly defined ICP and persona, you need to add Updately to your tech stack immediately to supplement your sales.”
“I found myself looking at some of the messages that it's created and thinking like, wow, where did it find this? This went really deep to find information that you could never do in just a cursory search.”
