LinkedIn & AI search - What gets cited and why. Insight Into LinkedIn's own research

San Diego, September 2026

LLMs are pulling from LinkedIn.com more than most marketers realize. Company pages, articles, and posts are being ingested, summarized, and cited in AI-generated answers across search tools, copilots, and chatbots.

But what determines which content gets surfaced and which gets ignored?

You'll walk away with a practical framework for creating LinkedIn content that performs not just in the feed, but in the AI-powered search layer that's rapidly sitting on top of it.
You'll learn:

-How LLMs select and prioritize LinkedIn content for citation

-What LinkedIn's own research reveals about discoverability in an LLM context
-Tactical changes you can make to company pages, posts, and articles right now
