How To Search For LinkedIn Profiles on Google?


Google indexes all pages on the web, including LinkedIn profiles, making them searchable via Google. This tutorial will guide you on how to search for LinkedIn profiles on Google and use Boolean search to build qualified lead lists.

How to Find LinkedIn Profile URLs on Google?
Q: How can you find LinkedIn profile URLs using Google?
A: To search for LinkedIn profiles on Google, use the operator “site:”. Enter “site:linkedin.com/in/” in the Google search bar. This restricts the search to LinkedIn profiles only.
Example:
“site:linkedin.com/in/”
You will see results displaying LinkedIn profiles including the profile URL, full name, and either the job title or company name. For more precise results, use the “intitle” operator.
Example:
“site:linkedin.com/in/ intitle:marketing”
Even though “intitle” might not always show the job title, it increases the chances of relevant results.

Using Boolean Search on Google to Find LinkedIn Profiles
Q: How can Boolean search enhance finding LinkedIn profiles on Google?
A: Boolean search uses logical connectors and punctuations to refine searches:
AND: Finds profiles containing several keywords.
OR: Finds profiles with at least one keyword from a list.
NOT: Excludes specific keywords.
Quotes: Searches for an exact phrase.
Parentheses: Combines multiple Boolean operators.
Example: To find Head of Sales or Head of Marketing in the Software industry:
“”Head of Sales” OR “Head of Marketing” AND Software”
Or
“Head AND (Sales OR Marketing) AND Software”
Combining with the site operator:
“site:linkedin.com/in/ intitle: Head AND (Sales OR Marketing) software OR SaaS”
This will refine the search to show profiles with these job titles and industry keywords.

Extracting Google Search Results
Q: How do you extract LinkedIn profiles from Google search results?
A: Use a tool like Scaleserp to extract Google search results into a CSV file. Here’s how:
Copy the URL of your Google search.
Paste it into Scaleserp’s URL field.
Define the number of pages and results per page to extract.
Choose CSV as the output format.
Download the results.
You’ll get a CSV file with search result titles and LinkedIn URLs, ready to upload into your CRM or outreach tool.

The Limits of Searching LinkedIn Profiles on Google
Q: What are the limitations of using Google to search LinkedIn profiles?
A: The main limitation is the lack of advanced filtering options. While Boolean operators can refine searches, Google cannot filter by:
Company size
Company industry
Years of experience
For more precise searches and advanced filters, LinkedIn Sales Navigator is the better tool.
