They are not only looking for a new job, but they are looking <strong>for truly useful information while building their network. <\/strong>That&#8217;s why the engineering team at LinkedIn is making changes to improve the search experience.<a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.linkedin.com\/blog\/2022\/improving-post-search-at-linkedin\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Improving search results seems to be becoming a priority for different channels. In fact, it hasn\u2019t yet been a week since I talked about <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/google-helpful-content-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how Google updated its algorithm<\/a> in order to prioritize quality content on SERPs.<\/p>\n<p>And LinkedIn is making moves in this direction as well. And, just like Google, quality content on the professional platform goes far beyond answering queries in a post. We have to think about how to give the audience <strong>what they really want.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Post search and user engagement on <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.linkedin.com\/blog\/2022\/improving-post-search-at-linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn increased by 35% in 2020<\/a>. People are looking for high-quality content and productive conversations.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are the changes on LinkedIn? How\u2019s it going to affect us \u2014 Marketing professionals and brands that create content on the platform?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll dive into that. Follow me!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/interactive.rockcontent.com\/thebeat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-opt-id=1747806394  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlgzkyrbq6eh.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/https:\/\/pingback.com\/br\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/banner_blog_-GIF.gif\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"optimole-lazy-only  wp-image-88388\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Before and After of Post Search on LinkedIn<\/h2>\n<p>Until this week, the search journey on LinkedIn started at the search bar, where it mixed a series of results \u2014 but the old system left behind a lot of important articles and LinkedIn posts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now the results are simpler. <strong>Prioritizing content and articles, taking into consideration aspects of relevance and diversity<\/strong>. Let&#8217;s take a look:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-opt-id=530830253  decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/UcHG8HD_EjYWAMzOUEofhOd3MMG1HhVwkK5KMfZq14p-M9DxhswtFvF-nX1VXy2PvBvO9XfvWdOl9u3s8B-ZtAE_yPR1WzEHJ7ToEX3XT4hXLzjwcyWqID9MfN2foKsHOz1B1l4dHhc9Th8-KnVga6duDLcR-dT-FGjijSyPDeQj4O6NBfv-fqnOlg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The update is already bringing positive results. According to the LinkedIn blog post,<strong> the initiative has led to an increase in user satisfaction<\/strong>, reflected by a 20% increase in positive feedback rate.<\/p>\n<p>To give users the best experience, LinkedIn is considering the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Query relevance.<\/li>\n<li>Quality.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Personalization and user intent understanding.<\/li>\n<li>Post engagement.<\/li>\n<li>Post freshness, especially for trending topics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you think about it, this move feels like a long-overdue admission that users just don\u2019t want to sift through noise. That\u2019s not to say all the fluff has vanished overnight, but it\u2019s getting easier to sidestep it and focus on content that genuinely matters to your line of work. Personally, I\u2019ve noticed more posts in my feed that actually spark discussions instead of just sitting there like limp lettuce.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s always a catch. As LinkedIn sharpens what shows up in search, we\u2019re probably going to see branded content fighting even harder for attention. Sometimes I wonder if we\u2019ll end up missing some of those happy accidents\u2014the random insightful post you\u2019d never have found before. Still, if the goal is more real engagement, having less junk floating around may be worth the occasional gem we miss out on.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, How Does One Engage On LinkedIn From Now On?<\/h2>\n<p>As I said at the beginning, LinkedIn is much more than a place to look for a job \u2014 and it\u2019s time for brands and companies to finally understand this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>People are trying to make genuine professional connections and be up-to-date with their market.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll take myself as an example here. I\u2019m a Content Strategist here at <strong>Rock Content<\/strong>, and I love using the professional social platform to discover the next trends in Marketing or reading opinions from experts. That&#8217;s one of the best ways of using LinkedIn for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, to build your brand presence on this platform, it\u2019s going to be even more important to publish relevant content for your audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are some practices to help you succeed with these new changes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Answer Your Public\u2019s Needs<\/h3>\n<p>Before planning your next post, check what your audience is already chatting and\/or thinking about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let me remind you that, earlier this year, LinkedIn already changed its <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/linkedin-algorithm-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">algorithm to prioritize quality content<\/a>. So,<strong> everything points to the fact that LinkedIn focuses on a more relevant and helpful experience for its users<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a scenario where everybody is making content and everybody wants to be seen, showing your expertise is going to be key to building a reliable brand on LinkedIn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be On Trend, Give Your Opinion&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>Something that stands out on LinkedIn from other social media is its level of expertise and relevance. While on <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/brands-on-tiktok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a> or Instagram you can spend hours watching videos of puppies,<strong> on LinkedIn you want to know what is the latest trend in your business sector.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So,<strong> <\/strong>don&#8217;t be afraid to give your takes on the changes or trends in your niche. This will also invite other persons to comment and increase your reach on social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, don&#8217;t forget to experiment with multiple formats, until you find <a href=\"https:\/\/pingback.com\/en\/resources\/best-content-types-for-linkedin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best type of content for your profile.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The days of posting content on social media focusing on yourself \/ your company are gone. It\u2019s time to listen first, talk later. And let your audience guide the conversation, be part of it. Be useful, and relevant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As I said earlier, LinkedIn is not the only one that is prioritizing quality content. TikTok searches and Google\u2019s new Helpful Content Update are a reflection of how important it is to satisfy your audience&#8217;s queries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The next time you are going to post on LinkedIn, don&#8217;t forget to make it relevant and helpful. Your audience (and the algorithm) will thank you.&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are more than 830 million members on LinkedIn.
