Copy any LinkedIn post (published, scheduled, or still a draft) and paste it in the box. The grader scores it instantly as you type.
Your post is analyzed across six dimensions: hook strength, readability, CTA, engagement triggers, length optimization, and formatting. Each dimension is scored and explained.
Each low-scoring dimension comes with specific, actionable advice. Fix the top issues and re-grade to see your score improve in real time.
| Dimension | What it measures | Weight | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| πͺ Hook Strength | How compelling your first 1β2 lines are | 25% | LinkedIn truncates after the first 2β3 lines behind a "see more" click. If the hook doesn't land, most people never read the rest. |
| π Readability | Sentence length, complexity, and scan-ability | 20% | LinkedIn is a mobile-first feed. Dense paragraphs get scrolled past. Short sentences, white space, and clear language win. |
| π£ Call to Action | Whether you ask for a specific response | 20% | Comments signal quality to the algorithm. A post that ends without a question or prompt leaves engagement on the table. |
| π₯ Engagement Triggers | Opinion, story, controversy, curiosity, or proof | 20% | Posts that make people feel something (agree, disagree, relate, or want to know more) generate disproportionate comment volume. |
| π Length | Whether your word count is in the sweet spot | 8% | The LinkedIn sweet spot is 150β300 words. Too short lacks substance; too long loses people before the CTA. |
| π¨ Formatting | Use of line breaks, bullets, numbers, and spacing | 7% | Formatting is the presentation layer. Good formatting makes great writing easier to absorb; bad formatting makes great writing invisible. |
