- Cache profile data: Profile information doesn't change frequently - cache results to reduce API calls
- Batch requests efficiently: When enriching multiple profiles, space out requests to respect rate limits
- Handle private profiles: Some profiles have limited visibility - gracefully handle partial data
- Use profile visitors strategically: Follow up with repeat visitors who show genuine interest
- Respect privacy settings: Only access data that users have made publicly available
