Get actionable data in just three easy steps

  1. Create and distribute your poll

    Ask one question and display up to five multiple choice answers for your audience to vote on

  2. Target an audience in two ways

    • Your network
       - Ask your connections on LinkedIn
    • Selected Professionals
       - People in your target who have the expertise you need (e.g. salespeople, business executives, professionals in specific regions or industries)
  3. Analyze and share results

    View real-time results. See response distribution based on the seniority, company size, job function, gender and age of respondents

Tips for writing poll questions

LinkedIn is a professional site focused on making professionals more productive. We expect the tone and quality of polls purchased and distributed through LinkedIn to be professional in nature.

To increase the relevance of your poll, consider following these best practices:

  1. Try to be as brief as possible in your question and answers. Shorter questions usually see higher response rates
  2. Do not ask leading questions
  3. Try to ensure all answers choices are clearly different from each other and mutually exclusive
  4. Include responses that cover the full spectrum of answers by including an option such as "none of these" or "other"
  5. Use appropriate ranges - avoid ranges with overlapping values (e.g. None, 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 instead of 0-5, 5-10...)
  6. Construct questions so that the poll results will be relevant and interesting to all viewers/respondents

Poll Text:

  • Please use correct spelling and grammar
  • Do not use excessive capitalization
  • Do not use excessive or inappropriate punctuation. Do not repeat punctuation
  • Do not use any symbols (i.e. *, @) in a manner that differs from its standard meaning

What we will not accept

  • Explicitly self-promotional polls (e.g. How much do you like my company?)
  • Use of trademarks that you are not permitted to use
  • Do not refer to LinkedIn (the corporation, brand, or site)

LinkedIn determines the professionalism and appropriateness of any poll on the site, and reserves the right to refuse to run polls that do not meet the guidelines outlined above.
