LinkedIn Hook Analyzer
Your hook is the only part of the post most people ever see. Paste your opening 1-3 lines and find out - against 160 known hook patterns - whether it's pulling its weight, and what to fix if it isn't.
A hook formula is a starting point, not a guarantee.
LinkedIQ's predictive resonance scores a full draft against your actual audience and history - not a generic pattern match.

How is this different from the Post Analyzer?
The Post Analyzer scores a full post draft across hook, structure, and hashtags together. This tool goes deeper on just the hook - it matches your opening against a bank of 160 categorized hook formulas and tells you which pattern it resembles, or what's missing.
What counts as a hook?
The first 1-3 lines of a LinkedIn post - whatever's visible before the "see more" fold. Paste just that, not the whole post.
Will it rewrite my hook for me?
It gives you a scored breakdown and one example rewrite grounded in a matching pattern - but the point is to show you what's working or missing, not to hand you a finished line to copy-paste.
Where do the reference patterns come from?
The LinkedIQ hook bank - 160 hook formulas across 12 psychological categories (curiosity, authority, contrarian, and more), each with a template and worked example.
Is this tool free?
Yes - no signup, no credit card. Same 3-per-day limit as LinkedIQ's other free tools.
Your personal brand should sound like you.
LinkedIQ builds it from your actual writing.
LinkedIQ reads your full LinkedIn presence and tells you exactly what's working, what's hurting your personal brand, and what to write next.
