Linkwiz guides
Make your LinkedIn contact information useful and intentional.
Give customers a useful way to reach you. Choose the right website and email visibility, while keeping personal contact details under your control.
Someone who finds your profile may want to visit your company website or continue the conversation by email. Keep Contact info current, and decide which details you want to share.
Give visitors a useful destination and contact route.
The company website helps a visitor explore the business. The work email provides a route for a business conversation, subject to the profile owner’s email visibility choice. A phone number is optional.

Contact info
The example uses a company website and work email. Email visibility is set separately.
The people, company and profile details in these examples are fictional.
Choose what to share and who can see it.
Add a relevant website
Link to your company website, a relevant portfolio or another professional destination. LinkedIn allows up to three website links in Contact info. See LinkedIn’s website options.
If you do not have a website, consider a useful professional profile such as GitHub or Behance. A WhatsApp or Telegram contact link can suit a business that uses those channels. Use a business contact route you intend to share, since a WhatsApp link includes the phone number.
For WhatsApp, use https://wa.me/<number>, replacing <number> with the full international phone number. Enter digits only, without a plus sign, brackets or separators. See WhatsApp’s click to chat instructions.
Choose email visibility deliberately
A work email can be useful for business conversations. LinkedIn displays your primary email address according to your email visibility setting. Sharing it with first degree connections is one option; choose the audience that suits you.
Example email visibility choice
Who can see your email address
Decide separately whether connections can download your email address in their data export.
The email download permission is a separate setting. Review it as well as who can see the address. See LinkedIn’s email visibility settings.
Keep access to your account
LinkedIn recommends adding both a personal and work email to your account. Keep an address you control if you leave your employer, and check which verified address is primary. Review your account email addresses.
Keep personal details optional
Add a phone number only if you want to share it for this purpose. A business contact number can be useful; a personal number should not be a company requirement. Review Contact info directly rather than assuming every field has the same audience.
Make your website easier to discover
You can also feature a useful company page, portfolio or contact destination in Featured. If you want to invite contact in About, direct visitors to Contact info. LinkedIn says email addresses should not be entered elsewhere on the profile. Choose a Featured link that helps visitors.
Share the business links, leave privacy choices with the person.
Give employees the correct company website and the business contact routes available for their role. Sales might use a company contact page, marketing a useful resource, and customer success a support destination.
Invite each person to review their own Contact info and email settings. Keep a personal phone number, email visibility and download permission as individual choices. Contact info is a manual review, separate from Linkwiz’s company email verification check.
