How to embed LinkedIn post on your website
LinkedIn post is a LinkedIn post embedded on your website, used by consultants, B2B services, recruiters and professional service firms. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from the post on LinkedIn — open its three-dot menu and choose Embed this post to copy the iframe. For most people the right choice is the post embed — the post rendered in an iframe on your page. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.
LinkedIn post: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Post embed | The post rendered in an iframe on your page. |
| Quoted text with link | The post's text quoted on your page, linking to the original. Faster and always works. |
| Follow button | LinkedIn's company follow button from its developer tools. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
LinkedIn post keeps this in the post on LinkedIn — open its three-dot menu and choose Embed this post to copy the iframe. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Post embed: The post rendered in an iframe on your page. Quoted text with link: The post's text quoted on your page, linking to the original. Faster and always works. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
Embedded social content is decoration unless it earns its place — it costs page speed, so make it count. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — confirm it renders and links correctly — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸Only public posts can be embedded. Posts restricted to connections silently fail.
- ▸LinkedIn embeds are fixed-height iframes that often look cramped on mobile.
- ▸For social proof, quoting a client's public recommendation as text on your page usually reads better than an embedded post.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
How do I embed a LinkedIn post on my site?
+−
Open the post on LinkedIn, click the three-dot menu, and select the embed option to copy the iframe code. Paste it into a code block on your site. The post must be public — anything limited to connections will not render for visitors.
What's the best way to show LinkedIn recommendations on a website?
+−
Quote them as text on your own page, with the person's name, role and company, rather than embedding. It reads better, loads instantly, works on mobile, and you control the formatting. Link to their profile if you want it verifiable.
Do I need a developer to add LinkedIn post to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding LinkedIn post slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
