What are impressions on LinkedIn?

[sebastianwells]

I’ve seen the term “impressions” on LinkedIn posts and stats, but I’m not sure what it means. Can someone explain what are impressions on LinkedIn and how they are counted? I’d also like to know how impressions differ from likes, comments, or profile views.

On LinkedIn, impressions mean how many times your post showed up on someone’s screen, each appearance counts, even if they didn’t interact. Unlike likes, comments, or profile views, impressions are about visibility, not engagement.

On LinkedIn, impressions are the number of times your post or content appears on someone’s screen (regardless of clicks or engagement).
