If you're using the free LinkedIn plan, you’re only allowed to see a few recent viewers and most of them will appear as “Anonymous LinkedIn Member”.
To fully unlock the list of people who visited your profile, you need a Premium plan.
With LinkedIn Premium, you’ll be able to:
See up to 90 days of profile viewers
Know exactly who’s checking your page
Spot patterns and trends in your profile traffic
It’s a powerful way to discover new leads or identify people interested in your offer.

How to See Your Profile Viewers Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Sales Navigator is where things get interesting.
You can apply advanced filters, segment your contacts, and access way more valuable data than what you get from LinkedIn.
🎥 If you don't know how to use Sales Navigator, no problem. You can check this in-depth tutorial:
Now it's time for a step-by-step guide to see your profile viewers using Sales Navigator.
Step 1: Go to the Lead Filter page
When you're on the homepage on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you just have to click on "Lead filters".
This filter will show only people who visited your profile in the last 90 days—so you can focus only on warm leads.

Step 2: Click on the "Viewed your profile recently" Filter
As you can see, there are a lot of advanced filters on this lead page.
The one you’re looking for is “Viewed your profile recently”. This filter lets you see people who's viewed your profile in the last 90 days.

Step 3: Split your search
With Sales Navigator, you can only see 2500 results. That's part of the LinkedIn limits.
So if you have more than 2500 people who viewed your profile recently, you need to split your search into several chunks.
The best way to do that is to use some filters like:
Company headcount
Geography
Years of experience
Years in current company
Etc
Then, you save your searches in lead lists.

Then, you’ll automatically receive new leads every week — no manual work needed.
You can focus 100% on what really matters: sending emails, starting LinkedIn conversations, and booking meetings.

When your export is finished, you’ll receive an email with a download link.

You can also download your file directly by clicking the "Download" button in your dashboard. You’ll see two options.

You have:

First Name
Last Name
Profile picture
Company name
Job title
Headline
LinkedIn URL
Email
It doesn’t include all the data, but it’s perfect if you just want to import leads into your CRM or a B2B outreach tool like Lemlist or Expandi.

"Download CSV"
This gives you the full file with all available data. For each lead, you’ll see extra info like:
Whether they have LinkedIn Premium
Their total years of experience
Company details like size, industry, and location
Etc
Here's all the informations you can have:

💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget to scroll horizontally — there's a lot of valuable data in your lead file, including job titles, company size, verified emails, and even intent signals.
On top of that, GiveMeLeads automatically cleans your data:
Fixes capital letters in names and job titles
Removes emojis from job titles
Removes legal suffixes in company names (like LLC, GmbH, etc.)
Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
First Name | john | John |
Job Title | 🚀 CEO & Founder | CEO & Founder |
Company Name | Stripe GmbH | Stripe |

GiveMeLeads also checks if each lead matches your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters.
If a lead doesn’t fit — for example, they have:
An invalid job title
Invalid location
Wrong company size work
Etc
We tag them in the column "filters" with the reason they’re invalid (like “Invalid job title” or “Wrong company size”).
That way, you keep full control of your data and don’t waste time guessing why a lead doesn’t match your targeting.

Filter the best leads in your profile viewers

Filter the best leads in your profile viewers
You probably don’t want to contact everyone who’s viewed your profile. Some may be students, competitors, or irrelevant.
To get qualified leads, apply filters like:
Current job title (use boolean operators to get better results)
Company headcount (11+ employees)
Industry
Geography
Etc
That helps you focus only on people who are likely to be customers.
