How to Find Anyone's Email from LinkedIn (5 Methods for 2025)
You've found the perfect prospect on LinkedIn. Their title is right, the company is a perfect fit, and you have a killer pitch. But there's one problem: there's no email address on their profile.
It's one of the most common frustrations in B2B sales and marketing.
In this guide, we'll show you 5 effective methods to find an email address from a LinkedIn profile. We'll cover everything from simple manual tricks (completely free) to the one-click automated solution that will save you hours.
Yes, we are the creators of Linkepy, a tool that does this automatically. But our goal is to help you, so we're sharing the manual methods first.
Method 1: The 'Contact Info' Button (The Obvious First Step)
You'd be surprised how often this works. On your prospect's profile, right below their name and headline, there is a "Contact info" link. Click it. Sometimes, users list their personal or work email directly. This is the fastest and easiest check, so always start here. If it's not there, move on to Method 2.
Method 2: The Google "X-Ray" Search
This is a classic prospecting trick. You're going to use Google to search for your prospect's email outside of LinkedIn. The most common email format is [email protected].
How to do it:
Go to Google and try these search combinations. Let's say we're looking for "John Doe" at "company.com".
"John Doe" @company.com"J. Doe" @company.com"John.Doe" @company.com"JohnD" @company.com
This tells Google to find pages that mention the prospect's name and their company domain. You might find them mentioned on a blog, a conference speaker list, or a "meet the team" page that isn't on their main website.
Method 3: Check the Company Website
This method takes a bit of detective work. Go to the prospect's company website (you can find this on their LinkedIn profile). Look for an "About Us," "Team," or "Contact" page.
Find any email address from that company. For example, you might find [email protected] or a support person like [email protected]. This tells you the company's email pattern (in this case, [email protected]). Now you can confidently guess your prospect's email: [email protected].
Method 4: The Reverse Lookup (P.S. We Have a Tool for This)
This is a slightly different scenario. What if you have an email address but don't know who it belongs to? You can use a reverse email lookup tool to find their LinkedIn profile and social data. This is crucial for verifying old email lists or enriching inbound leads.
At Linkepy, our Email-to-LinkedIn Lookup tool is built for exactly this. You paste an email and get back a full, verified professional profile.
Method 5: The Easiest Way - Use a 1-Click Tool (The Linkepy Solution)
Let's be honest. The manual methods above are time-consuming. They might work for one or two prospects, but you can't build a scalable sales pipeline on guesswork.
