The six dimensions, explained

Dimension What it measures Weight Why it matters
🪝 Hook Strength How compelling your first 1–2 lines are 25% LinkedIn truncates after the first 2–3 lines behind a "see more" click. If the hook doesn't land, most people never read the rest.
📖 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.
📣 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.
🔥 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.
📏 Length Whether your word count is in the sweet spot 8% The LinkedIn sweet spot is 150–300 words. Too short lacks substance; too long loses people before the CTA.
🎨 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.
