How web developers and agencies find clients on LinkedIn

By the DialClient team · Updated

Short answer

Clients post projects on LinkedIn with phrases like “looking for a web developer”, “need a website built”, “recommend a web development agency”, “need a Shopify developer” and “looking for an app development company”. Search these in Posts sorted by Latest, ignore full-time job ads, and reply with two relevant examples and a clear next step. DialClient’s Web & App Development category finds these projects every day.

Step by step

  1. Search project phrases. “looking for a web developer”, “need a website”, “website redesign”, “Shopify developer”, “WordPress developer”, “app development company”, “MVP”.
  2. Separate projects from jobs. A project post asks for a freelancer, agency or company. A job post asks for an employee: skip it.
  3. Check fit. Platform, budget, timeline and industry. Reply only where you have similar work to show.
  4. Reply with proof. Two similar projects, one line on approach, and a question or a call slot.

Who posts these projects?

Founders, marketing heads and small-business owners who need a new site, a redesign, an online store, an app or ongoing maintenance. Many ask their network for recommendations, so answering early matters.

Frequently asked questions

Is LinkedIn good for finding freelance clients?

Yes. Many business owners ask their network for developers and agencies, and those posts often include an email or ask for DMs.

Does DialClient include job posts for developers?

No. It removes job openings for employees and keeps posts where a client needs a freelancer, agency or company.
