The LinkedIn Appeal Service Agency That Reinstates the Accounts Other Reinstatement Agencies Give Up On.
If LinkedIn restricted your profile, your messages, connections and Sales Navigator stop with it. We go through your whole account, find what actually set off the restriction, whether a tool, an ID mismatch or a policy flag, and write the appeal LinkedIn needs to see. Start with a free assessment and know where you stand before you pay.
Pick the notice LinkedIn showed you. The screen shows what LinkedIn is asking for and how we answer it.

What Your LinkedIn Restriction Notice Means
The notice tells you what LinkedIn flagged. It rarely tells you why. Pick the notice that matches yours and see what sets it off, what LinkedIn can prove and what it’s only assuming.

Check Your Browser Tools Before You Appeal to LinkedIn
Extensions are one of the most common reasons sales teams get restricted. If your appeal says the tool is gone while it’s still installed, you’re setting up the next restriction. Tick what’s on your browser.
What is installed on your work browser
Based on the LinkedIn User Agreement, which prohibits software, bots, and extensions that scrape, change the look of, or automate activity on LinkedIn. Individual tools vary, so we check the one you used.
Tick the tools on the browser you use for LinkedIn. We sort them the way the User Agreement does, then list what the appeal has to show.
How LinkedIn Decides Whether to Reinstate Your Account
LinkedIn doesn’t read your appeal on its own. It reads it against your whole account: your activity, spam reports on your messages, your ID check, past restrictions and every appeal you’ve sent before. We write yours to answer what LinkedIn is actually weighing.
Potentially how it looks. A fictitious reconstruction built from our research and quantified only from cases we have handled. It is not a LinkedIn screen or tool. Names, IDs, and records are invented or redacted.

LinkedIn case, draft
We are the ones account owners come to when every other agency and law firm has already failed.
Most account owners find us after their appeals were denied and another agency already tried. A denied appeal stays on the account, so the next one has to be built differently. Our team has worked inside these platforms and knows what each LinkedIn review is measuring. That’s how we’ve resolved more than 10,000 cases.

LinkedIn Account Restriction FAQs
Don’t see your question? Send us your notice and we’ll answer it directly.
Why was my LinkedIn account restricted?
LinkedIn restricts an account when it finds a breach of its Professional Community Policies or User Agreement. The usual causes are content violations, profile details that break the rules, a name or identity LinkedIn doubts, signs the account was taken over, or third party tools that automate activity. The restriction notice on screen tells you which type you are dealing with.
How do I get my restricted LinkedIn account back?
You get a restricted LinkedIn account back by logging in and following the steps LinkedIn shows on screen. For a content restriction, you ask LinkedIn to review the decision again. For a profile, identity or security restriction, you verify your identity. For automation, you remove the tool first. Pick the route that matches your notice.
How long does a LinkedIn restriction last?
A LinkedIn restriction can be temporary or permanent, depending on the violation. For automated activity, LinkedIn says the account is re-enabled at the time shown on the notice once you disable the tool. Identity cases can be temporary or indefinite. Serious violations can lead to a permanent restriction after a single offense.
Why was my LinkedIn account restricted for automated activity?
LinkedIn restricts accounts for automated activity when it detects third party software or browser extensions that scrape, change how LinkedIn looks, or automate actions like connection requests and messages. LinkedIn asks you to review and disable the tool. If you want a second look, you can send details through its contact form where it is available.
How do I verify my identity to unlock my LinkedIn account?
LinkedIn verifies identity through Persona, its ID verification provider. You follow the login prompts, pick the country that issued your ID, and take a clear photo of a valid government ID, driver’s license or passport, sometimes with a selfie. School and library cards are not accepted. Blurry or expired IDs are a common reason it fails.
What if I can’t verify my identity with LinkedIn using an ID?
LinkedIn offers another route if you cannot or will not use Persona. Members in Canada, the EU or the UK can print LinkedIn’s Affidavit of Identity, sign it in front of a notary public and attach the scan to their support case. Outside those regions, the ID route through Persona is the standard path.
Can a permanently restricted LinkedIn account be restored?
A permanently restricted LinkedIn account can sometimes be restored when the restriction was a mistake, but not always. LinkedIn says severe violations can bring a permanent restriction after one offense. If you believe it was an error, you log in and follow the on screen steps. Your request should show clearly why the decision does not fit the facts.
Can I make a new LinkedIn account after being restricted?
Making a new LinkedIn account to get around a restriction is a bad idea. LinkedIn’s User Agreement bars false identities and using another person’s account, and a second profile tied to the same person can be restricted too. It also leaves your real profile, connections and history behind. Working the restriction on your original account is the safer path.
How do I avoid getting my LinkedIn account restricted again?
You avoid another LinkedIn restriction by removing any tool that scrapes or automates your activity, using your real name and accurate profile details, and keeping posts inside the Professional Community Policies. Change your password often to block takeovers. If your team runs outreach, set it up so every message is sent by a real person.
Is it worth hiring a LinkedIn appeal service?
Hiring a LinkedIn appeal service is worth it when the profile carries your pipeline, the notice is unclear, or a first request already failed. A good service finds the real cause, fixes it on the account and writes one clean request instead of several rushed ones. We start with a free assessment of your restriction.
What does a LinkedIn appeal service cost?
The cost of a LinkedIn appeal service depends on how hard the case is. A simple identity mix up takes less work than an automation or permanent restriction. We give you a free assessment first, tell you plainly where the case stands, and quote a price only after that, so you know before you pay.
Can anyone guarantee LinkedIn reinstatement?
No. Nobody can guarantee LinkedIn reinstatement because LinkedIn makes the final decision on every restricted account. What we commit to is the work: finding the real cause, fixing it and building the strongest request the facts allow. You also get a straight answer on your chances before you pay anything.
