How do you pick which LinkedIn post to boost?
Direct answer
Pick a LinkedIn post to boost from Post Analytics on direct SparkVox publishes - not from how the post felt when you wrote it. Match the winning metric to your campaign goal: profile views for founder pipeline, comments for trust, link clicks for demos or hiring. Confirm the post passed the organic engagement test with replies in the first hour, then sponsor one proven angle instead of boosting your whole calendar.
Start with measurable direct publishes
Only boost posts with complete performance history in SparkVox Post Analytics - impressions, engagement, profile views, clicks, and topic labels. Posts published outside the app may lack the funnel context you need to decide.
Match metric to campaign goal
Founder pipeline: personal posts with high profile views and substantive comments. Prospect trust: company proof with employee and customer comments. Hiring: culture posts with careers link clicks. Events: conversion posts with link clicks that already beat your average.
Confirm organic proof first
Check What's Working topic rankings on the right channel filter. Skip posts that stalled because you scheduled and disappeared - boosting untested creative wastes budget. One strong post per campaign beats sponsoring every publish that month.
