The original post
I posted about a LinkedIn dashboard I built using Claude. 737 comments. 61,087 impressions. I cannot DM everyone individually. So here is the full breakdown publicly. Step 1: Open Claude and start a new conversation Step 2: Take screenshots of all your posts. For long ones use the GoFullPage Chrome extension. For short ones regular screenshots work fine. Step 3: Screenshot your LinkedIn analytics page. Profile, analytics, top posts. That page shows everything ranked by impressions. Step 4: Drag and drop all screenshots into Claude in one go. Step 5: Send this prompt: “I am a LinkedIn creator. I have uploaded screenshots of all my posts and my analytics. Please analyze everything. Find patterns in my hooks, identify keywords that drove the most impressions, show me which post formats performed best, and give me insights on what I should do more of.” Step 6: Once Claude gives you the full breakdown, send this: “Now turn all of this into an interactive dashboard with tabs. Overview, all posts ranked by impressions, keywords, hook patterns, and strategic insights. Make it something I can click through and explore.” Bonus tip: do the same with a creator you admire. Screenshot their top posts, upload them, and ask Claude to analyze their hooks, writing style and post structure. Then ask how your content compares and what you can learn. One thing that does not work: pasting LinkedIn URLs directly into Claude. LinkedIn blocks it. Screenshots only.
