Value Metrics, Not Vanity Metrics
We track likes and followers as baseline metrics, but we engineer for conversion signals that drive real business results.
The Vanity Metric Trap
Most LinkedIn "gurus" obsess over impressions, likes, and follower counts. These are noise: anonymous signals that don't translate to business outcomes.
A million impressions means nothing if you can't identify who saw your content, whether they're relevant to your business, or if they took any meaningful action.
We measure what matters: Who engaged. Whether they're relevant. What they did next.
The Content Progression Framework (CPF)
We track how visibility compounds through three distinct stages, moving from noise to signal.
TOFU
Top of Funnel
Anonymous Reach
Views, impressions, and basic engagements. We report these as baseline metrics, but they're the starting point: not the goal.
- Post views
- Impressions
- Likes, comments, shares
MOFU
Middle of Funnel
Identified People
Moving beyond anonymous numbers to identify the specific individuals engaging with your content. This is where signal begins.
- Unique Engaged Individuals (UEI)
- Identified viewers
- Relevant audience members
BOFU
Bottom of Funnel
Conversion Signals
High-intent actions that indicate genuine business interest. These are the metrics that drive measurable outcomes.
- Profile views
- Connection requests
- Direct messages
- Meeting requests
We measure the noise (vanity) to establish baselines, but we engineer for the signal (value).
Total Visibility Score (TVS)
Before we engineer anything, we need to know where you stand. The TVS is your baseline diagnostic.
Content Presence
How consistently and systematically are you showing up? Frequency, quality, and strategic focus.
Activity Level
Are you engaging with your industry, or posting into the void? Strategic interaction drives visibility.
Engagement Quality
Who's engaging with your content? Are they relevant to your business objectives, or just random viewers?
The TVS establishes your starting line. From there, we track systematic improvement using the CPF framework.
