You're posting, but you have no idea what's actually working

LinkedIn's native analytics are barebones — you get impressions and likes, but no real insight into what's driving growth.

You don't know which post formats perform best for YOUR audience, so you keep guessing.

You can't see trends over time — is your reach growing? Shrinking? You have no idea.

You have no benchmarks. Are your engagement rates good or bad compared to your niche?

Without data, you're making content decisions based on feel, not evidence — and it shows in your growth rate.

Why Data-Driven Growth is the foundation of LinkedIn growth

The full picture — for founders who want to understand before they commit.

LinkedIn's built-in analytics were designed for vanity metrics, not strategic decisions. You can see that a post got 847 impressions, but you cannot answer the questions that actually matter: Is that good or bad for your audience size? Which post topics drive the most profile visits? Which days and times generate the most engagement? What is the correlation between posting frequency and follower growth? LinkPilot's LinkedIn analytics tool was built to answer these questions.

The content performance dashboard breaks down every metric by post type, topic category, day of week, and time of day. After 30 days of data, patterns emerge that are invisible to the naked eye. You discover that your "lessons learned" posts get 4x more comments than your industry news shares. That Tuesday at 8am outperforms Friday at 5pm by 60%. That carousel posts drive 3x more profile visits than text posts for your specific audience. Armed with this data, every content decision becomes evidence-based rather than intuitive.

The follower growth tracker gives you a timeline of your audience expansion, correlated with your content activity. You can see exactly which posts triggered follower spikes, which weeks you lost ground, and how your growth rate compares to your 30-day and 90-day moving averages. This view is essential for founders building LinkedIn as an inbound channel — it shows you the direct relationship between content consistency and audience growth.

The competitor benchmarking layer adds the final dimension. Add up to 10 competitors or industry peers and compare your engagement rates, growth velocity, and content frequency side-by-side. You will quickly identify whether you are punching above or below your weight, and where the biggest gaps — and opportunities — lie. For founders trying to become the dominant voice in their niche, knowing where you stand relative to others is not optional; it is the foundation of your strategy.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about data-driven growth with LinkPilot.

What LinkedIn analytics does LinkPilot track?

LinkPilot tracks impressions, reach, engagement rate, likes, comments, shares, profile visits, follower growth, connection requests, and post-level performance over time. You can filter by date range, post type, topic category, and compare performance across different time periods.

Is this better than LinkedIn's built-in analytics?

Significantly. LinkedIn's native analytics give you basic impression and engagement counts with no trend analysis, no content-category breakdown, no competitor comparison, and no AI recommendations. LinkPilot provides all of these in a single dashboard purpose-built for founders growing their personal brand strategically.

Can I track my competitors' LinkedIn performance?

Yes. LinkPilot's competitor tracking module lets you add up to 10 LinkedIn profiles to monitor. You can see their posting frequency, engagement rates, top-performing content formats, and follower growth rate — all benchmarked against your own account.

How far back does LinkedIn analytics data go?

After connecting your account, LinkPilot syncs up to 90 days of historical post data immediately. From that point forward, all data is tracked in real time. The further out from connection, the more complete your trend data becomes.

Does the analytics tool show which posts generated inbound leads?

LinkPilot shows which posts drove the highest number of profile visits and connection requests — the leading indicators of inbound interest. For direct lead attribution, you can tag posts with UTM parameters or use our CRM integration to connect LinkedIn activity to your pipeline.
