A practical example
A fictional landscape architect could add a code to a conference handout, with a short note about her current public projects and a link to her LinkedIn profile.
Make the scan useful
Use the profile or public post that matches the context in which the code appears. Keep direct contact details in a business card if someone may need them without a LinkedIn account.
- Enter the LinkedIn URL and explain what a visitor will find.
- Preview the focused page.
- Test the destination from a browser where you are not signed in.
What to check before sharing
LinkedIn controls access to profiles, posts, sign-in and embedded media. A scan does not create a connection request or reveal private profile information.
Does the scan send a LinkedIn connection request?
No. The visitor chooses whether to open LinkedIn and take any action there.
Would a business card be better?
Use a business card when you want to share direct contact details and a vCard. Use this page when LinkedIn is the intended destination.
