What We Grade

Hook Strength

Your hook is the first 1-2 lines of your LinkedIn post. It determines whether someone stops scrolling or keeps going. The best hooks use curiosity gaps (“I was about to quit my job when...”), contrarian takes (“Everyone says you should network more. They’re wrong.”), specific numbers (“I spent 347 hours on cold outreach last year”), or raw vulnerability. Our grader analyzes your hook specifically and gives you concrete alternatives that would perform better in the LinkedIn feed.

Authenticity Score

LinkedIn is oversaturated with corporate jargon, humble brags, and generic advice. Posts that sound like a press release get ignored. The authenticity score measures how genuine your post sounds. It penalizes buzzwords, forced positivity, “I’m humbled to announce” openings, and anything that feels manufactured. The highest-performing LinkedIn content sounds like a conversation with a friend, not a marketing deck.

Structure & Readability

People read LinkedIn on their phones. Wall-of-text posts get scrolled past instantly. Great LinkedIn structure means short paragraphs (1-2 sentences max), generous white space, one thought per line, and a visual rhythm that pulls the reader through the post. Our grader checks formatting, sentence length, paragraph breaks, and overall scannability. Think text message, not email.

Engagement Potential

Comments, shares, and saves are what make the LinkedIn algorithm amplify your post. The engagement score predicts whether your content will spark conversation. It considers storytelling quality, emotional resonance, specificity of examples, whether you ask a genuine question, and if your takeaway is bold enough to provoke a response. The highest-scoring posts make people stop and think.

Clarity & Value

Every LinkedIn post needs a “so what.” The clarity score measures whether your reader walks away with something useful — an insight, a framework, a new perspective, or an emotional shift. Posts that ramble without a point score low. Posts that deliver a clear, memorable takeaway score high. The best posts teach the reader something they can immediately apply to their own work or life.
