Build it, step by step

Build it, step by step.

01
Set up LinkedIn profile
Lock in positioning before publishing. A clean profile turns content impressions into clicks and follows.
- Add cover banner that aligns with messaging
- Upload professional profile photo
- Write headline with clear value statement
- Add CTA button linking to demo, lead magnet, or case study
- Structure About section with problem, solution, proof points, and links
- Pin high-performing posts or key resources in Featured section
02
Build target audience list
Grow your network with ICP contacts while content scales. This creates distribution before you hit publish.
- Pull ICP contacts and niche influencers in Clay, filtered by title, industry, and geography
- Export list to HeyReach for automated connection requests
- Track acceptance rate and adjust targeting filters
- Segment by job function to inform content angles
03
Research and validate content themes
Find what resonates before you produce. Use AI, competitors, customer calls, and your own post data.
- Generate seed ideas in Claude and research topics in Perplexity
- Analyze competitor post formats and engagement in Shield
- Review recorded customer calls in Sybill for recurring pain points and language
- Document high-performing topics, formats, and hooks in a content backlog
04
Assign content by funnel stage
Balance top, middle, and bottom of funnel posts. Top gets reach, bottom gets conversions.
- Top of funnel (50%): giveaways, build in public updates, personal stories, thought leadership
- Middle of funnel (25%): how-to posts, playbooks, frameworks, old way vs. new way breakdowns
- Bottom of funnel (25%): demos, case studies, product launches, objection handling
- Match each post to a visual format: carousel, short video, infographic, GIF, single image, or text-only
05
Produce and schedule content
Run a production board with clear stages and roles. Keep a consistent publish cadence and automate initial engagement.
- Track every post through: Idea, Draft, In Progress, For Approval, Live
- Assign roles: writer, designer, editor, publisher
- Set publish dates and balance funnel mix week over week
- Schedule posts and trigger auto-like and auto-comment from team profiles
- Send Slack notification when post goes live
06
Capture and convert inbound signals
Monitor engagement, profile views, and lead magnet signups. Follow up fast and route qualified leads into sales.
- Track post engagement in Jungler and profile views in Teamfluence
- Monitor lead magnet opt-ins via Beehiiv and demo requests via website form
- Watch follower growth in LinkedIn analytics
- Reach out to engaged users via DM or connection request
- Book meetings in Cal.com and move qualified leads into CRM
