LinkedIn Hook Analyzer

Your first line decides your reach. Score your hook on 5 proven signals, see where “…see more” cuts it, and get AI-rewritten alternatives that stop the scroll.

0 characters LinkedIn cuts around 140 (mobile) – 210 (desktop) characters.

AI suggestions are drafts. Edit them to match your real experience. Nothing is posted to LinkedIn; your text is only sent to generate rewrites.

Why the hook is everything on LinkedIn

On LinkedIn, only your first line or two show in the feed before the “…see more” fold. If that hook doesn't earn the click, the rest of your post is never read. No matter how good it is. The hook is the single highest-leverage part of any post.

The 5 signals we score

Length fit

Long enough to say something, short enough to survive the mobile fold (~140–210 characters).

Curiosity

Opens a loop. A question, a bold claim, or a “here's what nobody tells you” angle that demands the click.

Specificity

Concrete numbers, timeframes or outcomes beat vague generalities.

Speaks to the reader

Uses “you / your” so it feels aimed at the reader, not at the author.

No weak opener

Avoids “I'm excited to announce…” and other openers that signal a skippable post.

+ AI rewrites

Get five alternative hooks in the style you choose, then edit the best one to fit your truth.

How to write a hook that stops the scroll

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good LinkedIn hook?

A good hook is specific, opens a curiosity loop, speaks to the reader, and fits before the “see more” fold. This tool scores your hook on those signals and suggests stronger alternatives.

Is the hook analyzer free?

Scoring your hook is free and unlimited. AI rewrites are free up to a daily limit; heavier use is available on a paid plan.

Does this post to LinkedIn?

No. Nothing is ever posted or automated. The tool only helps you write a better hook that you copy and publish yourself.

How long should a LinkedIn hook be?

Aim for roughly 60–210 characters. Enough to say something meaningful, but short enough that the key part shows before the mobile “see more” fold at ~140 characters.
