Overview
LinkedIn Feed from Elfsight shows posts from a LinkedIn company page or personal profile on a Squarespace page: text posts, images, videos and articles in a grid or feed, with an optional popup for each post. It is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform rather than native Squarespace code. You paste the page or profile URL, with no API key or LinkedIn app to set up, and the widget gathers the existing content and refreshes it every 48 hours. You can filter by keyword, hashtag or URL, exclude reposts, and show or hide the author, profile photo, text, likes, comments, date and share buttons. Squarespace has social blocks for Instagram and a few others but nothing for LinkedIn, so this is the practical way to get a LinkedIn presence onto a site.
Key features
- Connects to one LinkedIn company page or profile by URL, with no API key

- Popup view of an individual post with header settings
- Layouts, colour schemes and post styles to match the site
- Sharing buttons on posts
Who it suits
B2B consultancies, agencies, recruiters, law and accountancy firms, and founders whose main social channel is LinkedIn and who want the website to reflect that activity without pasting posts in by hand.
Honest limits
The refresh cycle is 48 hours and cannot be forced, so a post published this morning will not appear until the day after tomorrow, which rules it out for anything time-sensitive. One page or profile per widget; for several you need Elfsight's Social Feed instead. Moderation is by filter only, with no per-post approval. There is no official LinkedIn API behind it, which is why setup needs no key and also why the refresh is slow, so I would treat it as best-effort rather than guaranteed. Free-tier widgets carry Elfsight branding and monthly view limits, and because the feed loads from Elfsight's servers it disappears if your subscription lapses.
Installation on Squarespace
Create the widget in Elfsight's editor, paste your LinkedIn company page or profile URL, wait for the content to process, adjust filters and layout, then copy the embed code and paste it into a Squarespace code block. New posts arrive on the next refresh without further edits.
