<h2>How to Fix Your LinkedIn Feed (The Saved People Search Strategy)</h2>
Your LinkedIn feed is lying to you.
Not maliciously. But it’s showing you what the algorithm thinks you want - based on who you’ve engaged with in the past. And if you’ve been passively scrolling, liking random posts, and engaging with whoever shows up… your feed has become a mess of irrelevant content.
Here’s the problem: the people you actually need to see - the creators in your niche, the prospects you want to connect with, the thought leaders whose content could help you grow - they’re not showing up. Because you’ve never told the algorithm to show them to you.
Most people accept this. They scroll through whatever LinkedIn serves and hope something useful appears.
But there’s another way.
You can reverse engineer the algorithm. Force it to show you exactly who you want to see. And in the process, get those people to notice you too.
It starts with one simple tool: a saved People Search.
Here’s how the strategy works.
<h2>Why Your LinkedIn Feed Isn’t Showing You the Right People</h2>
LinkedIn’s algorithm has one job: keep you on the platform longer.
To do that, it shows you content it predicts you’ll engage with. And it makes those predictions based on your past behavior - who you’ve liked, commented on, messaged, and viewed.
This creates a feedback loop.
If you’ve been engaging with random content (or worse, not engaging at all), your feed becomes generic. You see posts from people you barely know, about topics you don’t care about, from industries you have no connection to.
Meanwhile, the creators and professionals you actually want to learn from? The ones in your target niche? They’re posting every day - but you never see it.
The algorithm doesn’t know you care about them. You’ve never told it.
And here’s the real cost: if you want to grow on LinkedIn, you need to be visible in specific communities. You need the right people seeing your comments, recognizing your name, visiting your profile. But if your feed is full of noise, you’re engaging with the wrong people entirely.
Your growth stalls. Your content reaches the wrong audience. Your time on LinkedIn feels wasted.
This is fixable. But not by scrolling harder.
<h2>The “Curated Audience” Strategy Explained</h2>
Here’s the hack: you don’t have to accept the feed LinkedIn gives you. You can build your own.
The strategy is simple:
<ul>
<li>Identify the exact people you want to engage with (creators in your niche, prospects, thought leaders)</li>
<li>Save a People Search that finds them</li>
<li>Open that search every day and engage with their content</li>
<li>Watch the algorithm adapt to show you more of them</li>
</ul>
You’re manually curating your own “For You” page.
Instead of letting LinkedIn decide who you see, you’re forcing yourself to see specific people every single day. And when you consistently engage with those people - commenting on their posts, reacting to their content, viewing their profiles - LinkedIn’s algorithm takes notice.
It thinks:
<blockquote>
“This user clearly cares about these people. Let me show more of their content in the main feed.”
</blockquote>
Over time, your feed transforms. The random noise disappears. The creators you actually want to see start showing up organically. And because you’ve been engaging with them consistently, they start recognizing your name too.
This is how you break into a niche on LinkedIn. Not by hoping the algorithm favors you, but by training it to.
The key tool that makes this possible? A saved People Search that you can access with one click, every single day.
<h2>How to Build Your Target Creator List</h2>
Let me walk you through exactly how to set this up.
<h3>Step 1: Define Who You Want to See</h3>
Before you search, get specific about who belongs on your list.
Ask yourself:
<ul>
<li>What niche am I trying to grow in?</li>
<li>Who are the active creators in that space?</li>
<li>What job titles do they typically have?</li>
<li>What industries are they in?</li>
<li>Are they 1st connections, 2nd, or 3rd?</li>
</ul>
For example, if you’re trying to break into the fintech space as a founder, your target might be:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Founders and CEOs at fintech startups</li>
<li>VCs who invest in fintech</li>
<li>Content creators who write about fintech trends</li>
<li>Journalists covering the fintech industry</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
You don’t need hundreds of people. You need 20-50 of the right people.
<h3>Step 2: Build the Search on LinkedIn</h3>
Go to LinkedIn and use the People Search with these filters:
Keywords: Terms that appear in their headlines or profiles (“fintech”, “founder”, “investor”, etc.)
Industry: Filter to relevant industries
Connections: 2nd degree connections are ideal - close enough that engagement feels natural, but not people you already see constantly
Location: Optional, depending on your goals
Current Company: If you’re targeting people at specific companies
Play with the filters until you see a results page full of exactly the type of people you want to engage with. Scroll through and make sure the results look right.

<h3>Step 3: Copy the URL</h3>
Once your search results look good, copy the entire URL from your browser’s address bar.
It’ll be long and ugly - something like: <a href="https://linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=fintech%20founder&amp;network=%5B%22S%22%5D&amp;origin=FACETED_SEARCH">https://linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=fintech founder&amp;network=[“S”]&amp;origin=FACETED_SEARCH</a>…
That URL contains all your filter settings. Don’t try to clean it up. Just copy the whole thing.
<img src="/images/blog/fix-linkedin-feed-saved-search-strategy3.avif" alt="Screenshot of browser address bar showing the full LinkedIn search URL to copy">
<h3>Step 4: Save It in LinkedIn Lists</h3>
Open the <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ligoai/dlclgkldbjggemolgmajabobdcofgjof">LiGo Chrome Extension</a> paid version and go to the Lists tab.
Click “Add List” and select the “Paste URL” tab.
Give it a clear name like “Fintech Creators to Engage” or “Target Niche - Daily”.
Paste the URL and hit Save.
<img src="/images/blog/fix-linkedin-feed-saved-search-strategy4.avif" alt="Screenshot of LiGo Chrome Extension Lists interface showing the Add List dialog with Paste URL option">
Done. You now have one-click access to your curated audience.
<h3>Step 5: Refine Over Time</h3>
Your first list won’t be perfect. After a week of using it, you’ll notice:
<ul>
<li>Some people never post (remove them mentally or rebuild the search)</li>
<li>Some people post but it’s not relevant (adjust your filters)</li>
<li>You’ve discovered new people to add (build a second list or expand keywords)</li>
</ul>
The list is a living tool. Update it as you learn.
<h2>The Daily Engagement Routine</h2>
Having the list is step one. Using it consistently is where the magic happens.
Here’s the routine:
Every morning (15-20 minutes):
<ul>
<li>Open the LiGo extension</li>
<li>Go to Lists and click your saved People Search</li>
<li>LinkedIn opens with your target creators</li>
<li>Click through to 5-10 profiles</li>
<li>Look for their recent posts (check their Activity section)</li>
<li>Leave a thoughtful comment on 3-5 posts</li>
</ul>
That’s it. Fifteen to twenty minutes, every single day.
The key word is consistent. Doing this once won’t change anything. Doing it every day for 30 days will completely reshape your LinkedIn experience.
<h3>What “Thoughtful Comment” Means</h3>
Don’t leave generic comments. “Great post!” or “Thanks for sharing!” does nothing.
A thoughtful comment:
<ul>
<li>Adds to the conversation (share your own experience or perspective)</li>
<li>Asks a genuine question</li>
<li>Respectfully challenges or builds on their point</li>
<li>References something specific from their post</li>
</ul>
You want the creator to read your comment and think “this person actually understood what I wrote.”
This is where LiGo’s <a href="https://ligosocial.com/linkedin-comment-generator">comment generation feature</a> helps. It generates comments that match your voice and actually engage with the content - not generic fluff.
<h3>Why Profiles Matter</h3>
Don’t just comment. Click into their profiles first.
LinkedIn tracks profile views. When you view someone’s profile, they get notified (unless you’re in private mode, which you shouldn’t be for this strategy). That notification puts your face and headline in front of them.
View the profile → find their recent post → leave a comment.
Now they’ve seen you twice. Do that for a week straight, and they’ll start recognizing your name.
<h2>Why This Works (The Algorithm Psychology)</h2>
Let me explain what’s happening behind the scenes.
<h3>Engagement Signals Have Weight</h3>
LinkedIn’s algorithm ranks engagement signals by intensity:
<ul>
<li>Comments - highest signal (you took time to write something)</li>
<li>Shares - strong signal (you endorsed it to your network)</li>
<li>Reactions - medium signal (easy action, low commitment)</li>
<li>Profile views - light signal (shows interest)</li>
<li>Dwell time - passive signal (you stopped scrolling)</li>
</ul>
When you comment on someone’s posts consistently, you’re sending the strongest possible signal that you care about their content.
The algorithm responds by showing you more of that person’s content in your main feed. It also starts showing you similar content from similar people.
Your feed literally reshapes around your engagement patterns.
<h3>Reciprocity is Real</h3>
Here’s the second effect: creators notice who engages with them.
If I post on LinkedIn and the same person leaves a thoughtful comment three times in two weeks, I notice them. I start recognizing their name. I’m more likely to check out their profile, maybe their content.
This is how relationships form on LinkedIn. Not through cold DMs, but through consistent, visible engagement.
Your saved People Search makes this systematic. Instead of randomly hoping to see their posts, you’re guaranteeing you engage with them regularly.
<h3>The Compound Effect</h3>
This strategy compounds over time.
<ul>
<li>Week 1-2: You’re engaging, but nothing visible changes yet</li>
<li>Week 3-4: Your feed starts showing more content from your target niche</li>
<li>Week 5-8: Creators begin recognizing your name and engaging back</li>
<li>Month 3+: You’re a known presence in that niche; opportunities start appearing</li>
</ul>
Most people quit before week 3. They don’t see instant results, so they assume it’s not working.
It’s working. The algorithm just needs time to learn your new patterns.
<h2>Example People Lists for Different Growth Goals</h2>
Different goals require different target audiences. Here are some examples:
<h3>Breaking Into a New Industry</h3>
You’re pivoting careers or expanding into a new market. You need to become visible in that space.
List name: “Target Industry Thought Leaders”
Who to include:
<ul>
<li>Top creators who post about that industry</li>
<li>Founders of companies in the space</li>
<li>Journalists and analysts covering the sector</li>
<li>Community managers of industry groups</li>
</ul>
Engagement goal: Get recognized as someone who “gets” the industry before you even work in it.
<h3>Building Authority in Your Niche</h3>
You already work in a space but want to be seen as a thought leader.
List name: “Peer Creators in [Niche]”
Who to include:
<ul>
<li>Other creators at your level (not just the mega-influencers)</li>
<li>People who engage actively with their audience</li>
<li>Rising voices who are growing quickly</li>
<li>Complementary experts (adjacent topics)</li>
</ul>
Engagement goal: Build peer relationships that lead to collaborations, podcast invites, and cross-promotion.
<h3>Getting Noticed by Potential Clients</h3>
You’re selling services and want prospects to see you as an expert.
List name: “Ideal Client Profiles”
Who to include:
<ul>
<li>Decision-makers at target companies</li>
<li>People with the job title of your typical buyer</li>
<li>Prospects who are actively posting (they’re engaged on the platform)</li>
</ul>
Engagement goal: Become a familiar face before you ever reach out. When you send a connection request or DM, they already know your name.
<h3>Connecting with Investors/VCs</h3>
You’re fundraising or want to build relationships with the investment community.
List name: “Active VCs in [Sector]”
Who to include:
<ul>
<li>Partners at funds that invest in your space</li>
<li>VCs who post regularly about your industry</li>
<li>Angel investors known for being founder-friendly</li>
</ul>
Engagement goal: Be on their radar. When you eventually pitch, you’re not a cold email - you’re “that person who always has smart comments on my posts.”
<h2>Mistakes That Kill This Strategy</h2>
I’ve seen people try this and fail. Here’s why:
<h3>Mistake 1: Generic Comments</h3>
If your comments are “Great post!” or “So true!” or “Love this!”, you’re wasting your time.
Generic comments don’t register. The creator ignores them. The algorithm barely counts them. And anyone who sees your comment thinks you didn’t actually read the post.
Take 60 seconds to write something real. It’s worth it.
<h3>Mistake 2: Inconsistent Engagement</h3>
Engaging heavily for three days, then disappearing for two weeks, then trying again… doesn’t work.
The algorithm needs consistent signals. Your target creators need to see you repeatedly. This is a daily habit, not a sporadic effort.
If you can’t commit to daily, do it every other day. But stick to the schedule.
<h3>Mistake 3: Too Many People, Not Enough Depth</h3>
A list of 500 people is useless. You can’t meaningfully engage with 500 people.
Start with 20-30. Go deep with them. Once those relationships are established, expand the list.
Depth beats breadth every time.
<h3>Mistake 4: Targeting the Wrong Creators</h3>
Follower count doesn’t equal influence.
Someone with 500,000 followers might never see your comment (it gets buried in hundreds of others). Someone with 5,000 followers who’s actively growing might notice you immediately.
Look for creators who:
<ul>
<li>Actually respond to comments</li>
<li>Post consistently</li>
<li>Have engaged audiences (not just follower counts)</li>
<li>Are in growth mode themselves</li>
</ul>
These people are more likely to notice you, engage back, and remember your name.
<h2>Final Takeaway</h2>
Your LinkedIn feed isn’t fixed. You can reshape it.
By saving a People Search of exactly who you want to engage with, and opening that search every single day, you take control away from the algorithm. You decide who you see. You decide who sees you.
Over time, this simple habit:
<ul>
<li>Transforms your feed into a curated stream of relevant content</li>
<li>Gets you noticed by creators and prospects in your target niche</li>
<li>Builds real relationships that turn into opportunities</li>
</ul>
The LinkedIn Lists feature in the <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ligoai/dlclgkldbjggemolgmajabobdcofgjof">LiGo Chrome Extension</a> paid version makes this effortless. Save your People Search once, access it with one click forever.
Here’s your action plan:
<ul>
<li>Identify 20-30 people you want to engage with consistently</li>
<li>Build a People Search on LinkedIn that finds them</li>
<li>Save it in LinkedIn Lists</li>
<li>Open it every morning and engage for 15-20 minutes</li>
<li>Do this for 30 days and watch your feed (and your reach) transform</li>
</ul>
The algorithm isn’t your enemy. It’s a tool. Train it to work for you.

## How to Fix Your LinkedIn Feed (The Saved People Search Strategy)

Your LinkedIn feed is lying to you.

Your growth stalls. Your content reaches the wrong audience. Your time on LinkedIn feels wasted.

This is fixable. But not by scrolling harder.

## The "Curated Audience" Strategy Explained

Here's the hack: you don't have to accept the feed LinkedIn gives you. You can build your own.

The strategy is simple:

- **Identify the exact people you want to engage with** (creators in your niche, prospects, thought leaders)
- **Save a People Search that finds them**

## How to Build Your Target Creator List

Let me walk you through exactly how to set this up.

### Step 1: Define Who You Want to See

Before you search, get specific about who belongs on your list.

Ask yourself:

- What niche am I trying to grow in?
- Who are the active creators in that space?
- What job titles do they typically have?
- What industries are they in?
- Are they 1st connections, 2nd, or 3rd?

For example, if you're trying to break into the fintech space as a founder, your target might be:

>- Founders and CEOs at fintech startups
>- VCs who invest in fintech
>- Content creators who write about fintech trends
>- Journalists covering the fintech industry

You don't need hundreds of people. You need 20-50 of the right people.

### Step 2: Build the Search on LinkedIn

Go to LinkedIn and use the People Search with these filters:

**Keywords:** Terms that appear in their headlines or profiles ("fintech", "founder", "investor", etc.)

**Industry:** Filter to relevant industries

**Connections:** 2nd degree connections are ideal - close enough that engagement feels natural, but not people you already see constantly

**Location:** Optional, depending on your goals

**Current Company:** If you're targeting people at specific companies

Play with the filters until you see a results page full of exactly the type of people you want to engage with. Scroll through and make sure the results look right.

### Step 3: Copy the URL

Once your search results look good, copy the entire URL from your browser's address bar.

It'll be long and ugly - something like: <https://linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=fintech%20founder&network=%5B%22S%22%5D&origin=FACETED_SEARCH>...

That URL contains all your filter settings. Don't try to clean it up. Just copy the whole thing.

### Step 4: Save It in LinkedIn Lists

Open the [LiGo Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ligoai/dlclgkldbjggemolgmajabobdcofgjof) paid version and go to the Lists tab.

Click "Add List" and select the "Paste URL" tab.

Give it a clear name like "Fintech Creators to Engage" or "Target Niche - Daily".

Paste the URL and hit Save.

<h2>Why We Made This Update</h2>
Compliance with LinkedIn’s Terms of Service has always been our top priority. We’re committed to ensuring our users’ accounts remain completely protected and in good standing with the platform.
After careful review, we realized that adding buttons directly to LinkedIn’s interface could potentially fall into a compliance gray area. To maintain absolute certainty that we’re operating within LinkedIn’s guidelines, we’ve moved to the right-click approach.
This change also reinforces our core philosophy around content quality. Rather than automating the entire process (which would constitute bot-like behavior), we maintain a “human-in-the-loop” approach. This means you always review, approve, and manually post your content, ensuring that:
<ul>
<li>Your LinkedIn activity remains authentic and compliant</li>
<li>Content quality stays high across the platform</li>
<li>You maintain full control over what gets published under your name</li>

<img src="/images/blog/Kleo-chrome-extension-alternative.avif" alt="Best kleo alternative chrome extension for linkedin comments">
<h2>Why did LinkedIn ban Kleo Chrome Extension</h2>
LinkedIn just issued a cease and desist order to Kleo, one of the most popular LinkedIn commenting extensions. If you were using Kleo to manage your LinkedIn engagement, you’re probably wondering what happened and what to do next.
Here’s the full story of why LinkedIn banned Kleo, what this means for your LinkedIn strategy, and how to keep engaging safely without risking your account.
<h2>What Exactly Happened to Kleo?</h2>
Kleo was a Chrome extension that automated LinkedIn commenting. Users could click a button, and Kleo would automatically generate and post comments on LinkedIn posts without any manual review.
In early 2025, LinkedIn’s legal team sent Kleo a cease and desist notice, forcing them to shut down immediately. The extension was removed from the Chrome Web Store, and existing users lost access overnight.
And this was a complete shutdown (not just a policy warning from what I understand).
<hr>
<h2>Why LinkedIn Considers Kleo a Terms of Service Violation</h2>
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1341387">LinkedIn’s Terms of Service</a> are crystal clear about automation. Section 8.2 specifically prohibits:
<ul>
<li>Creating fake or misleading profiles</li>
<li>Using bots, scripts, or other automated methods</li>
<li>Scraping data from LinkedIn</li>
<li>Engaging in any activity that could harm LinkedIn’s services</li>
</ul>
Kleo violated multiple parts of these terms:
Automated Posting: Kleo automatically posted comments without human review. LinkedIn considers any automated posting a violation, regardless of the quality of the content.
Data Scraping: To generate contextual comments, Kleo had to read and analyze LinkedIn post content. This constitutes unauthorized data scraping.
Bulk Actions: Kleo allowed users to comment on multiple posts rapidly, which LinkedIn’s systems flag as suspicious activity.
Third-Party Integration: Using any tool that directly interacts with LinkedIn’s interface without permission violates their API terms.
The key issue? Full automation removes human oversight, which LinkedIn sees as manipulative engagement.
<hr>
<h2>The Smart Alternative: Semi-Automation vs. Full Automation</h2>
The solution isn’t more automation; it’s smarter, semi-automated assistance that keeps you compliant while protecting your brand.
There’s a crucial difference between full automation and a semi-automated, human-in-the-loop approach:
Full Automation (Like Kleo):
<ul>
<li>Software posts comments without human review.</li>
<li>Violates LinkedIn’s Terms of Service.</li>
<li>High risk of account suspension.</li>
<li>Can post generic or inappropriate comments that harm your brand reputation.</li>
</ul>
Semi-Automated Assistance (The LiGo Way):
<ul>
<li>Software suggests high-quality comments, but a human always reviews options and posts the best one.</li>
<li>Fully compliant with LinkedIn’s Terms of Service.</li>
<li>Zero risk of account suspension.</li>
<li>Protects your brand by preventing embarrassing or “stupid” AI-generated comments. You get speed and safety.</li>
</ul>
The key is maintaining human oversight. This human-in-the-loop system gives you the efficiency of AI without the risks of full automation.

<hr>
<h2>The Pattern: Why LinkedIn Keeps Banning Automation Tools</h2>
Kleo isn’t the first LinkedIn automation tool to get banned. Over the past few years, LinkedIn has shut down dozens of similar tools:
<ul>
<li>Dux-Soup: Popular connection automation tool, banned in 2023</li>
<li>Leonard: LinkedIn messaging automation, cease and desist in 2022</li>
<li>Phantombuster: LinkedIn features removed after legal pressure</li>
<li>Multiple Chrome extensions: Regularly removed from Chrome Web Store</li>
</ul>
The pattern is clear: LinkedIn is aggressively protecting their platform from automation that could spam users or manipulate engagement metrics.
For agency owners, this creates a real problem. You need to maintain an active LinkedIn presence for multiple clients, but you can’t risk getting accounts suspended.
<hr>
<h2>What This Means for Your LinkedIn Strategy</h2>
If you were relying on Kleo for LinkedIn engagement, you’re facing three immediate challenges:
Time Management Crisis: Without Kleo’s automation, commenting manually takes 10x longer. For agency owners managing multiple client accounts, this is a massive time sink.
Consistency Problems: Maintaining regular engagement across all your clients’ LinkedIn accounts becomes much harder without assistance.
Competitive Disadvantage: While you’re figuring out manual processes, competitors with safe tools are still engaging efficiently.
But here’s the thing - going back to full automation isn’t the answer. LinkedIn’s enforcement is only getting stricter.
<hr>
<h2>How to Keep Engaging Safely After Kleo</h2>
Here’s how smart LinkedIn users are adapting their LinkedIn strategy post-Kleo:
<h3>1. Switch to a Compliant, Semi-Automated Tool</h3>
Instead of full automation, use a tool that offers semi-automated assistance. This approach keeps you in control, saving you time while ensuring every comment aligns with your brand’s voice.
For a clear example of how this works, our own <a href="/kleo-alternative">LiGo Chrome Extension</a> is designed around this safety-first principle.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dtwepxrvk/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,c_limit,w_1920/ligo-chromestore-1.avif" alt="LiGo Chrome Extension interface showing safe LinkedIn commenting tool">
Here’s the simple, 3-step process that keeps you safe:
<ol>
<li>
Generate Suggestions: After installing the extension, you’ll see a LiGo sidebar. When you find a post you want to comment on, click to generate multiple, high-quality comment suggestions tailored to the post’s context and your expertise.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dtwepxrvk/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,c_limit,w_1920/ligo-chromestore-mob1.avif" alt="LiGo's Chrome Extension generating multiple comment suggestions for a LinkedIn post">
</li>
<li>
Review and Edit: You get to see all the suggestions. You can pick the one you like best and edit it to add your personal touch or a specific insight. This is the crucial “human-in-the-loop” step that full automation skips.
</li>
<li>
Post Manually: Once you’re happy with the comment, you post it yourself. You have the final say, ensuring nothing goes out that you haven’t personally approved. This simple step is what makes the process 100% compliant with LinkedIn’s rules.
</li>
</ol>
This semi-automated workflow gives you the best of both worlds: the speed of AI and the safety of manual review.
<h3>2. Focus on Quality Over Quantity</h3>
Without automation, you can’t comment on 50 posts per day. But you can focus on high-value posts from your ideal clients and prospects.
Target posts from:
<ul>
<li>Potential clients in your industry</li>
<li>Industry leaders and influencers</li>
<li>Posts with high engagement already</li>
<li>Content related to your expertise</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Develop Comment Templates</h3>
Create a library of comment frameworks you can quickly customize:
<ul>
<li>Question Framework: “Great point about [topic]. Have you considered [related angle]?”</li>
<li>Experience Framework: “This reminds me of [similar situation]. In my experience, [insight].”</li>
<li>Value-Add Framework: “Building on this - [additional insight or resource].”</li>
</ul>
<h3>4. Use Your Team Strategically</h3>
If you have team members, assign specific LinkedIn engagement tasks:
<ul>
<li>Junior team members can draft comments using AI assistance</li>
<li>Senior team members review and post the final versions</li>
<li>Account managers handle comments for their specific clients</li>
</ul>
<h3>5. Set Realistic Engagement Goals</h3>
Without automation, you need sustainable engagement targets:
<ul>
<li>5-10 high-quality comments per day (not 50 generic ones)</li>
<li>Focus on building real relationships over vanity metrics</li>
<li>Prioritize posts where meaningful engagement could lead to business</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Why Compliant Tools Won’t Get Banned</h2>
LinkedIn’s enforcement targets fully automated systems, not AI writing assistants. Here’s why compliant tools are safe:
Human Oversight Required: Every comment still requires human review and manual posting.
No Direct API Abuse: Compliant tools don’t automatically interact with LinkedIn’s interface.
Quality Focus: AI-assisted comments are typically higher quality than fully automated ones.
User Control: Users maintain complete control over what gets posted and when.
LinkedIn’s goal isn’t to stop people from using AI - it’s to prevent spam and manipulation. Tools that require human oversight achieve that goal.
<hr>
<h2>The Future of LinkedIn Engagement for Agencies</h2>
The Kleo ban signals a clear direction: LinkedIn will continue cracking down on full automation while allowing AI assistance that keeps humans in control.
For agency owners, this actually creates an opportunity. While competitors scramble to replace their banned automation tools, you can build a sustainable, compliant engagement strategy that won’t get disrupted by future bans.
The agencies that thrive will be those who:
<ul>
<li>Use AI assistance (not automation) to scale their efforts</li>
<li>Focus on quality engagement over quantity metrics</li>
<li>Build genuine relationships instead of gaming the algorithm</li>
<li>Stay ahead of LinkedIn’s evolving policies</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Your Next Steps After Kleo</h2>
If you were using Kleo, here’s what to do immediately:
<ol>
<li>Stop using any similar automation tools - Don’t risk your LinkedIn accounts by switching to another risky tool</li>
<li>Audit your current engagement strategy - Identify which posts and connections drive actual business results</li>
<li>Switch to compliant AI assistance - Tools like <a href="/kleo-alternative">LiGo’s Chrome Extension</a> give you speed without risk</li>
<li>Train your team on manual posting - Ensure everyone understands the new process</li>
<li>Set sustainable engagement targets - Focus on quality over quantity</li>
</ol>
The Kleo ban might feel like a setback, but it’s actually an opportunity to build a more sustainable LinkedIn strategy. By focusing on AI assistance instead of automation, you can maintain your competitive edge while staying completely compliant with LinkedIn’s terms.
The agencies that adapt quickly to this new reality will have a significant advantage over those still trying to game the system with risky automation tools.
