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 conversations you join, and who belongs in your connection queue.
Use seed leaders
Seed leaders help the system understand the market map faster than broad keywords alone.
FAQ
Can I target multiple ICPs?
Yes, but start with one primary audience per growth queue.
