Getting started with LinkDeal

Learn how to set up your LinkDeal account, start your free trial, and find your first leads in under five minutes.

Last updated: 8 August 2026

LinkDeal is a signal-first LinkedIn lead finder built for B2B solopreneurs, founders, and small sales teams. It finds people actively engaging with LinkedIn content at your target companies or around specific keywords, enriches their contact details, and delivers warm leads straight to Slack.

What you get with LinkDeal

Unlike traditional prospecting tools that give you cold lists of people who match a job title, LinkDeal surfaces people who are actively engaging right now. Someone who just liked a post about "scaling SaaS" or commented on a competitor's announcement is far more likely to respond to your outreach than someone sitting in a static database.

LinkDeal gives you:

  • Post Engagement search to find people reacting to posts from specific company domains or around keywords
  • ICP Search to find people matching a natural language description of your ideal customer
  • Contact enrichment to get verified email addresses and phone numbers
  • Slack delivery to receive leads directly in your workspace
  • MCP server to connect your AI agent for hands-free prospecting

The onboarding flow

Getting started takes about two minutes:

  1. Enter your email and create a password on the onboarding page
  2. Add your payment card to start the 5-day free trial (you will not be charged during the trial)
  3. Verify your email by clicking the link we send you
  4. Complete the 4-step tour to learn the interface

The tour walks you through:

  • Choosing a search type (Post Engagement or ICP Search)
  • Running your first search
  • Understanding the lead cards
  • Sending leads to Slack

Your 50 trial credits

When you add your card, you receive 50 credits to use during your trial. This is enough to:

  • Run about 10 Post Engagement searches (5 credits each)
  • Enrich 3 leads with contact details (15 credits each)
  • Unlock recent posts for 10 leads (5 credits each)

If you need more credits during your trial, you can upgrade to a paid plan at any time.

After onboarding

Once you have completed the tour, you have full access to all LinkDeal features. We recommend:

  1. Setting up your Slack webhook so leads arrive in your workspace
  2. Running a Post Engagement search for your target company domain
  3. Experimenting with ICP Search to find leads matching your ideal customer profile
