Build a LinkedIn presence that drives B2B leads — content pillars, posting cadence, engagement tactics, and thought leadership positioning for founders and teams.
Best for: B2B founders and marketers using LinkedIn for lead generation
Profile Optimization
300-400 wordsOptimize your LinkedIn profile as a landing page, not a resume. Write a headline focused on the value you provide, not your title. Use the About section to tell your story and include a clear CTA. Your profile is the conversion page for every post you publish.
Content Pillars (3-4 Themes)
300-400 wordsDefine 3-4 recurring themes that align with your expertise and audience pain points. Example: industry insights, behind-the-scenes building, tactical how-tos, and contrarian takes. Rotate between pillars to maintain variety while building topical authority.
Posting Cadence & Format Mix
300-400 wordsPost 3-5 times per week for optimal reach. Mix formats: text posts (60%), carousels (20%), polls (10%), and articles (10%). Text posts with line breaks and a strong opening hook outperform everything else on LinkedIn.
Hook & Writing Framework
250-350 wordsThe first line determines whether people click 'see more.' Use hooks that create curiosity, state a bold claim, or share a surprising result. Follow with the PAS framework: Problem, Agitate, Solve — in 200-300 words.
Engagement Strategy
250-350 wordsSpend 15 minutes before and after posting engaging with your network's content. Comment meaningfully on 5-10 posts from your ICP's feed. Genuine engagement builds reach more than posting alone — LinkedIn rewards active community members.
Lead Conversion Funnel
250-350 wordsDefine how LinkedIn connects to your pipeline: post → profile visit → website/CTA → email list or demo request. Track connection-to-conversation metrics. Use featured section to showcase your best content and conversion assets.
Pro Tips
LinkedIn's algorithm heavily favors 'dwell time' — how long people spend reading your post. Write long-form text posts (800-1,200 characters) with line breaks every 1-2 sentences to maximize scroll time.
Post between 7-9 AM in your audience's timezone, Tuesday through Thursday. Weekend posts get 30% less reach. Monday posts compete with too much noise.
Repurpose your blog content into LinkedIn posts — don't just share the link. Extract the core insight, rewrite it as a personal narrative, and add the blog link in the first comment, not the post.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a LinkedIn audience?+
With consistent daily posting and engagement, expect 1,000 new followers in the first 3 months and meaningful lead flow by month 6. Compounding is slow at first — most people quit before the tipping point.
Should I post from my personal profile or company page?+
Personal profile first. Personal posts get 5-10x more reach than company page posts. Use the company page for announcements and SEO, but build your audience from a founder or team member's personal brand.
Can I automate LinkedIn content?+
You can schedule posts with tools like Buffer, but engagement must be manual and genuine. Automated comments are detectable and damage credibility. Averi can help you repurpose blog content into LinkedIn-ready posts, but the engagement layer should be personal.
