Frequently Asked Questions

Botdog is a virtual cloud-based LinkedIn assistant. It remotely controls your account to automate tasks like sending requests and messages. But unlike typical bots, Botdog is programmed to mimic human behavior - scrolling, adding delays between actions to avoid detection. This way, you can grow your network on autopilot without actually lifting a finger.

While Botdog can be used with a free LinkedIn account, we strongly recommend upgrading to a paid subscription (Premium, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter). It unlocks more powerful features and higher limits in LinkedIn. With a paid plan, you can send up to 3x more connection requests, access advanced search filters, and enjoy other benefits that can supercharge your LinkedIn outreach and growth. So yes, we recommend you get a paid LinkedIn subscription when you use Botdog.

Botdog can drive immediate wins or long-term growth - it's up to you! Some users leverage it for a quick boost in sales, marketing, or recruiting. Others play a longer game, using Botdog to steadily build their network. Either way, customers typically see a significant uptick in relevant connections, conversations, engagement, and opportunities.

You can send ~200 invitations and ~ 1,000 messages per week, if you're on a paid LinkedIn account (Sales Navigator, Recruiter or Premium). For free accounts, you're limited to ~50 invites per week. These are LinkedIn's limits. We wrote an entire blog post about this!

Your account safety is one of our top priorities. Our advanced automation mimics natural human behavior patterns to operate undetected within LinkedIn's guidelines. We also incorporate multiple safeguards, like action limits and random delays. While no software is 100% risk-free, Botdog goes above and beyond industry standards. Avoid any unethical practices, and you can automate with confidence.

We initially built Botdog for our own use! We extensively researched and used many automation tools for years. While powerful, they often sacrifice simplicity with bloated features most people don't need. So we designed a simple tool, specifically for busy professionals like ourselves who value their time and need to automate without complications. A straightforward, cost-effective tool that gets the job done efficiently.

Yes, absolutely! You can invite other users and send messages and invitations to connect on their behalf. You only get access to conversations that have been initiated through Botdog, so their personal conversations remain secure. Some users manage teams of 10+ accounts and use this to 10X their leverage.
