Semrush / LinkedIn Intelligence
Company page audit · May 2023 — May 2024 · Prepared July 2026

A year of LinkedIn, read properly.

Beyond reactions and follower counts: this report cross-references 314 posts, 70,332 individual engagers and 145,508 followers to show who the audience actually is, what makes them act, and where the untapped commercial value sits.

Section 01 · Momentum

Engagement is spiky, not steady

Monthly totals swing more than 4× between the best and worst months at a near-identical posting cadence. The spikes are earned by a handful of outlier posts — which means they are repeatable if we understand them, and section 02 does exactly that.

Section 02 · The full record

Every post, plotted

Each dot is one post, coloured by the type of content. Hover any dot to read it. The pattern is unmistakable: humour and relatable memes dominate the upper band, giveaways sit on the floor.

Section 03 · The playbook

What actually works

Classifying all 314 posts by format, length and publishing day reveals a clear formula — and one format that is measurably burning reach.

Conversation starters

highest comment-to-reaction ratio, min. 300 reactions

Comments are the strongest algorithmic signal on LinkedIn — these posts punch far above their reaction count in distribution.

Posts under 80 characters average 887 reactions — 2.3× the average of long-form posts. Giveaways average just 86.

Section 04 · Who is actually listening

An audience of buyers, not bystanders

This is the part a standard analytics report can't show: we resolved the job titles of all 145,508 followers and all 70,332 people who engaged. The audience skews heavily toward practitioners and decision-makers in exactly the market Semrush sells to.

Followers vs. engagers, by role

share of each population
FollowersPeople who engaged

Decision-makers (founders, CMOs, VPs and directors) over-index in engagement relative to their share of followers — the most commercially valuable segment is also the most active.

13,244 followers are founders, CMOs or director-level and above — and 6,752 decision-makers actively engaged this year.

Resolved from job titles

26,871 people came back for more — and 454 superfans liked 25+ posts each. That's an unbuilt ambassador programme.

What the audience does

most frequent words in follower job titles

One caveat worth knowing: several of the page's top engagers are Semrush employees. Real reach among outside audiences is strong — but an employee-advocacy programme is doing quiet, uncoordinated work here that could be formalised.

Section 05 · Where we take this

Six moves the data pays for

Each recommendation below is grounded in a number from this report, and each opens a deeper workstream we can deliver.

Double down on the meme engine

Short humour posts average 824 reactions vs. a 628 page average and produced the #1 post of the year. Codify the format into a weekly series with a content calendar built around Tuesday/Thursday/Friday slots.

Kill or fix giveaways

Ten giveaway posts averaged 86 reactions — 87% below page average — and likely signal low-quality reach to the algorithm. Redirect that effort into the question/community format, which drives 5× the engagement.

Activate the 454 superfans

People who liked 25+ posts are self-selected ambassadors. A light-touch programme (early access, community, creator collabs) converts them into distribution. We have the full named list, with job titles.

Mine the 6,752 engaged decision-makers

Founders, CMOs and directors who engaged this year are warm, named accounts. Match them against the target-account list for ABM retargeting and sales triggers — organic social becomes a pipeline source, not a vanity metric.

Formalise employee advocacy

Semrush staff are already among the page's most reliable amplifiers — organically. A structured advocacy programme with prompts and timing would multiply first-hour engagement, the window that decides algorithmic reach.

Instrument comments and competitors next

This report covers reactions. The obvious next layer: comment sentiment and topics, follower growth attribution, and a competitor benchmark (Ahrefs, Moz, HubSpot) on the same methodology — a quarterly intelligence cadence.
