How LinkedIn Mentions Work - LinkedIn Tagging for Engagement Best Practices
What Are LinkedIn Mentions?
LinkedIn mentions allow users to tag other users or companies in posts, articles, comments, and replies using the @ symbol. When someone is mentioned, they receive a notification, making this feature powerful for networking but requiring careful use.
Types of LinkedIn Mentions
Post Mentions
- Each time someone likes or comments on a post, everyone mentioned in the original post receives a notification
- Use sparingly to avoid notification fatigue
- Best used for recognizing collaborators, thanking contributors, or highlighting thought leaders relevant to the content
Comment Mentions
- More targeted than post mentions since notifications are limited to the comment itself
- Automatically included when replying to someone's comment
- Useful for bringing specific people into a discussion
Article Mentions
- Similar to post mentions but with longer-term visibility
- Excellent for crediting sources or highlighting expert contributions
- More professional context than regular posts
Company Page Mentions
- Tags company profiles rather than individuals
- Gets attention from marketing teams and sometimes business owners
- Useful for building B2B relationships
