People search is for titles. Company search is for accounts. Do not run both as one H1.

Questions and answers

Is this a Sales Navigator alternative?

For list-building, yes. For living inside LinkedIn’s UI all day, no. Different job.

Should I scrape LinkedIn myself?

No. Rate limits, bans, and messy exports waste a week. Use a controlled run and keep the source trail.
