Get 3 hook variations
A question hook, a bold claim, and a story opener — each designed to stop the scroll and make people click 'see more'.
Copy and use
Replace your post's opening with the hook that feels most natural. Test different styles to see what your audience responds to.
Why the hook is the most important part of your post
LinkedIn shows only the first 2-3 lines of your post in the feed. If your hook doesn't grab attention, no one clicks 'see more' — and your entire post goes unseen. The difference between a post with 100 impressions and 10,000 impressions is often just the opening line. A strong hook creates curiosity, makes a surprising claim, or drops the reader into the middle of a story.
Frequently asked questions
What types of hooks work best on LinkedIn?
Questions that challenge assumptions, bold claims backed by experience, and story openers that start in medias res (in the middle of action) tend to get the highest engagement.
How long should a LinkedIn hook be?
1-2 lines maximum. LinkedIn truncates posts after about 210 characters on mobile. Your hook should be complete before the 'see more' cut-off.
Can I use the hooks with my existing posts?
Yes. Paste your existing post draft and we'll generate hooks specifically for that content. Just replace your first line with the generated hook.
Should I use the same hook style every time?
No. Variety keeps your audience engaged. Alternate between questions, bold claims, and story openers. Track which style gets the most engagement for your audience.
