LinkedIn Lead Generation from Post Commenters
Automatically find and enrich leads from the comments section of relevant LinkedIn posts authored by a curated list of industry influencers.
This automation streamlines your lead generation process by turning LinkedIn conversations into actionable leads. Here's how it works:
- Read Writers: It starts by reading a list of LinkedIn profiles (e.g., influencers, experts, or competitors) from a "Writers" tab in a Google Sheet you provide.
- Find Posts: For each writer, it scans their recent activity to find posts they have authored within a specified number of days.
- Analyze Relevance: Using advanced AI, it analyzes the text of each post to see if it's relevant to a topic you define (e.g., "SaaS marketing trends"). Irrelevant posts are ignored.
- Extract Leads: For every relevant post, it extracts a list of people who have commented. These commenters are your potential leads.
- Enrich Profiles: The automation gathers more details for each lead, such as their current job title and company, directly from their LinkedIn profile.
- Find Emails (Optional): If you provide an API key for the Prospeo.io service, it will also attempt to find a work email address for each lead.
- Save Results: Finally, it saves all relevant posts to a "Posts" sheet and the enriched leads to a "Leads" sheet in your Google Sheet, ready for your sales or marketing team to use.
Usage Ideas
- Build highly targeted outreach lists by finding users engaged with competitor or partner content.
- Discover potential job candidates who are actively discussing topics related to an open role.
- Identify micro-influencers and subject matter experts for marketing collaborations.
- Conduct market research by analyzing who is engaging with specific trends in your industry.
- Find potential beta testers for a new product by identifying people discussing problems your product solves.
Customization Ideas
This template is a powerful starting point that you can easily tailor to your specific needs. You have the flexibility to:
- Target Your Niche: You can define any topic of interest to ensure the automation only finds leads from conversations that matter to your business.
- Control the Scope: Easily adjust how far back to search for posts, the maximum number of posts to analyze per writer, and how many commenters to extract from each post.
- Use Your Data: Connect your own Google Sheet containing your curated list of writers. The automation will organize the results into new "Posts" and "Leads" sheets for you.
- Enable Email Finding: Simply provide an API key from Prospeo.io to automatically find email addresses for your new leads.
- Customize Your Output: While the template uses standard sheet and column names (like "Writers" and "Leads"), you can work with an assistant to change these to match your existing spreadsheets or CRM fields.
