How LinkedIn Reach Works: From Publish to Virality

"Reach is not random. It is the result of systematic feedback loops triggered by click-throughs, dwell times, and conversational replies."

When you click publish, LinkedIn shows your content to a small test group. If this initial cohort engages, the post is pushed to secondary networks.

To draft posts that satisfy these initial checks, refine your openers in the Hook Studio to ensure maximum scroll retention.
