LinkedIn Post Grader
Get a score, grade, and actionable suggestions.
Not sure why a post flopped—or whether a draft is ready to publish? A LinkedIn post grader gives you an instant second opinion: a score, a grade, and the specific fixes that make the post land harder.
What Is a LinkedIn Post Grader?
A LinkedIn post grader analyzes your draft against the things that actually drive reach and engagement—hook strength, clarity, emotional pull, structure, and a clear call to action—then returns a score out of 100 with a plain-English breakdown. Instead of guessing, you see exactly which part of the post is weak before you hit publish.
How to Use the Post Grader
Paste your finished LinkedIn post—or a rough draft—into the box above and hit “Grade my post.” In a few seconds you’ll get a score, a letter grade, a one-line read on the post’s biggest strength, a tone assessment, and three concrete suggestions. Apply the fixes, re-grade, and watch the score climb. It’s free, and no signup is needed to run your first grade.
What Your Score Actually Measures
The grade weighs five things every strong LinkedIn post gets right: a hook that stops the scroll in the first two lines, clarity that survives a skim, an emotional or contrarian angle that earns a reaction, a structure that reads easily on mobile, and a call to action that tells people what to do next. A high score means those five are working together; a low score points you straight at the one that isn’t.

When to Grade a Post
Grade every post before you publish, and grade your best-performing past posts to learn what your audience rewards. It’s most useful on longer text posts, thought-leadership takes, and anything with a CTA—places where a weak hook or a buried ask quietly costs you reach.
Pair It With These Free Tools
Sharpen a weak opening line with the Hook Generator, check your hook fits before the “see more” fold with the Character Counter, preview the final look with Post Preview, or add bold and bullets with the Post Formatter.

Frequently asked questions
What does the post score mean?
The score (0-100) is the AI coach’s assessment of clarity, hook, emotion, structure, and CTA. Higher scores mean the post is more likely to resonate on LinkedIn.
How can I use the suggestions?
Each suggestion targets a specific improvement (hook strength, pacing, CTA). Implement them directly in your post or use ThoughtMint to rewrite with those edits.
Is the LinkedIn Post Grader free?
Yes. You can grade your first post without signing up. Free tools allow up to 10 generations per hour; sign up for a ThoughtMint account for unlimited grading.
What does the grader look at?
It scores five things every strong LinkedIn post gets right: hook strength, clarity, emotional or contrarian pull, structure and readability on mobile, and a clear call to action. Your score shows how well those elements work together.
Is my post stored when I grade it?
Your post is sent securely to generate the grade and is not published or shared. You can grade unpublished drafts safely before they ever go live.
