Start narrower than feels comfortable
A good LinkedIn ICP should name the person, the context, the pain, and the reason they should care now.
Translate ICP into behavior
Your ICP should decide what you post, which questions are worth answering in public, and which proof is worth repeating.
Read what they read
The accounts your buyers already follow tell you the vocabulary and the open questions of that market faster than a keyword list does.
FAQ
Can I write for multiple ICPs?
Yes, but start with one primary audience per voice profile.
