The checker reads your draft the way a scrolling reader meets it: a few lines on a phone, then a choice to tap "…see more" or keep scrolling. It flags what usually costs a post its likes and comments, in order of importance.
The checks are rules of thumb drawn from what tends to work in the feed, not a reading of LinkedIn's algorithm. A high score means the post is easy to read and easy to reply to. It does not guarantee reach.
Most posts that get few likes are not bad posts. They lose readers in the first two lines, or they reach too few people in the first hour. Four habits fix most of it.
On a phone, readers see about 140 characters before "…see more". Put the tension there: a result, a mistake, a surprising number. Keep the first line short and give it its own paragraph.
Posts that send people off LinkedIn tend to get shown less. Write the post so it stands on its own, then drop the link in the first comment and say so in the text.
Comments carry a post further than likes. Close with a specific question people can answer in one sentence, not "Thoughts?". Then reply to every comment in the first hour.
LinkedIn first shows a post to a small slice of your network and watches how they react. Post when your audience is online, and line up early reactions from real people in your field. That second part is what Podawaa does.
Yes. It is free, with no signup and no limit on how many posts you check. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent to us or stored.
The preview copies the LinkedIn feed layout and cuts your text where "…see more" usually appears: about three lines, or roughly 140 characters on mobile and 210 on desktop. The exact cut varies a little with the device, the font size and the characters you use, so treat it as a close guide.
No. The checks make a post easier to read and easier to reply to, which tends to help. How many people see it still depends on your network, your topic and how readers react in the first hour.
Many creators see fewer impressions on posts with an outbound link, because LinkedIn prefers to keep people in the feed. The usual workaround is to put the link in the first comment and mention it in the post.
Three to five specific hashtags at the end is the common practice. More than that looks like spam and does not add reach.
Post when your audience is online, reply to every comment quickly, and get early reactions from real people in your field. Podawaa's free plan boosts up to 5 posts a month, with no card required.
