LinkedIn Posts

Overview

Contact LinkedIn Posts capture what individual prospects are publicly saying about their priorities, challenges, and initiatives.

We track millions of professional LinkedIn profiles, optimizing coverage by seniority, title, and account importance. Each post is analyzed to extract structured pain points, initiatives, technologies mentioned, and competitors referenced - turning unstructured social content into actionable signal.

How we build and maintain coverage: Our monitoring pool is designed to maximize buyer coverage across your highest-value accounts while maintaining a well-distributed sample across geographies, industries, and company sizes.

Filtering Tips

Topic targeting: Filter by tags like "Cloud" + "Migration" to find contacts actively discussing cloud migration
Combine with other fields: Match posts tagged "Artificial Intelligence" where technologies_mentioned includes a competitor with status "evaluating" — high-intent signal for competitive displacement
Pain point + tag: Tags tell you what area someone is focused on; pain_points tell you what's hurting — together they power highly personalized outreach
Segment building: Tags are consistent values from a fixed taxonomy, making them ideal for building segments, dashboards, and automated routing workflows

Why Processed Data?

Raw LinkedIn posts are unstructured text. Our AI processing layer extracts six structured, queryable fields from every post:

Field	What You Get	Without Processing
Tags	Consistent categories from 300+ taxonomy	Build your own classification model
Summary	10-15 word factual summary	Prompt an LLM per post at scale
Pain Points	Extracted problems + intensity score	Custom NLP extraction pipeline
Initiatives	Active projects + urgency score	Custom extraction + scoring
Technologies	Named tech + adoption status	Entity recognition + status classification
Competitors	Named competitors	Entity extraction + company matching

This eliminates the need to build your own NLP pipeline, define a taxonomy, handle edge cases, calibrate scoring, and pay for LLM API calls at scale. Even if you plan to run custom analysis on top, embeddings and search on our processed fields (summary + tags + pain_points + initiatives) are significantly richer than raw post_text alone.

Identity Resolution

Every contact LinkedIn post signal is pre-resolved to a business contact record with a work email. Here's how:

LinkedIn profile URL captured from the post activity — this is a deterministic, unique identifier
Profile URL matched against our contact database (250M+ contacts, 80M+ companies), ingested monthly with continuous updates from our pipeline exhaust
Business email, job title, and company resolved from the matched record
Company firmographic data (domain, LinkedIn URL, industries, headcount) attached

How Coverage Works

Our monitoring pool balances two objectives: deep buyer coverage on your most important accounts, and broad distribution across the market.

Prioritizing hot accounts. Contacts at high-value accounts—based on account importance, seniority, and title relevance—are prioritized for monitoring. This ensures the prospects most likely to appear in your pipeline have the highest likelihood of coverage.

Sampling across segments. Beyond priority accounts, we maintain a well-distributed sample across geographies, industries, and company sizes. This prevents blind spots in underrepresented segments and ensures signal coverage scales with your market, not just your ABM list.

Continuous URL ingestion. We are constantly adding new LinkedIn profile URLs to the monitoring pool and evaluating whether we can successfully gather posts from them. Profiles that are publicly accessible and active are retained; inactive or restricted profiles are cycled out.
