HOW TO DISCOVER LINKEDIN USERS NEARBY IN 2025

Before you find LinkedIn users nearby, let me tell you something you have probably been turning a blind eye to…

LinkedIn is not helping your business 

• Your LinkedIn content may reach a max of 5% of your followers (if you are lucky). This is a massive issue affecting thousands of marketers.
• You have been trying hard to build an audience on LinkedIn that you do not own.
• You cannot transfer your hard-earned LinkedIn followers to your best CRM software.
• Your customer acquisition costs from LinkedIn ads are through the roof.

The solution

I can offer you the best digital marketing strategy workshops that will help you:

• Lower customer acquisition costs.
• Minimise dependency on paid media.
• Build a marketing engine with marketing assets and channels you fully own.
• Craft the best digital marketing plan and social media strategy that boosts sales and customer lifetime value.

HOW TO TURN ON YOUR LINKEDIN “FIND NEARBY” 

• Step 1: Open your LinkedIn app on your mobile phone.
• Step 2: Click on “My network” at the bottom of the page.
• Step 3: Turn on “Find nearby” button at the top of the page.

Update: The “Find nearby” option is no longer available

Tip: Bluetooth should be on, on your phone and on the people’s phones you want to connect with.

Note: If it does not work, then LinkedIn for whatever reason has decided to turn off this feature. You can ask them to put back in by emailing Ryan Roslansky (LinkedIn CEO): r.roslansky@linkedin.com

Copy and paste the below message:

Hello Ryan,

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to inquire about the timeline for re-activating the “Discover members nearby” feature.

This feature has proven particularly valuable in facilitating connections with other LinkedIn users at events, conferences, trade shows, and similar gatherings.

Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and best regards,

[Your Name]

Conclusion

As the “Find nearby” option is no longer available, that does not mean, you cannot connect with other professionals who are in in close physical proximity to you.

Just simply ask them for their full name and company name, find them on linkedIn and request a connection.

Just make sure, they are aware of your request to connect so they accept your connection on LinkedIn.
