The problem it solves

Your team spends hours manually checking competitor or industry LinkedIn pages for new posts. Important trends and content ideas get missed because nobody has time to track them consistently.

Who it fits

A marketing or social media team tracking competitor or industry LinkedIn activity.

How it works

  1. Automation runs and pulls recent posts from a chosen LinkedIn company page
  2. Post content, timestamps, and engagement metrics are extracted
  3. Data is organized into a structured format
  4. Results are saved into a Google Sheet for the team to review
What you get

Competitor LinkedIn activity tracked for you

Recent posts from any LinkedIn company page get pulled into a spreadsheet with engagement numbers, giving your team a clear view of their activity.

What you get

A Google Sheet full of LinkedIn post data ready for research or content planning.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and access to a LinkedIn data API.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
