Reading your Analytics page

Analytics answers one question: is Allen turning into business for you? Find it near the bottom of the sidebar. Use the switch at the top right to look at the last 30 days, the last 90 days, or all time.

The four numbers at the top

• Comments posted: how many comments went up on LinkedIn in the time you picked. If you also use the Chrome extension, those comments are included and the card says how many came from it.
• Replies received: how many replies people left on your comments. The line under it says how many of your comments those replies were on.
• Reply rate: out of the comments Allen can watch, the share that got at least one reply. Comments made with the Chrome extension are left out of this one, because Allen cannot watch them for replies.
• Pipeline value: the dollar value of the open deals on your Pipeline board. Deals you have won are shown separately underneath.

From comment to customer

This row reads left to right: comments posted, comments that got replies, leads in your pipeline, and deals won. It shows where people drop off. Plenty of comments and few replies points to targeting or voice. Plenty of replies and few leads means the follow-up is the gap.

Daily activity

A bar for each day. Green is comments posted that day. Blue is replies received that day. Hover over a day to see the exact numbers. The chart shows up to 90 days, even when you pick all time, so it stays readable.

Look for steady green bars more than tall ones. A few comments every working day does more than a big batch once a week.

Stage by stage

One bar for each stage of your Pipeline board, with the number of leads and the dollar value sitting in it. The line underneath tells you how many comments got replies in the last 30 days, how many follow-ups are due, and how many leads changed stage this week.

Recently posted comments

Your 10 most recent comments. Each one shows who wrote the post, what you said, and the date. You also see:

• A blue badge when the comment got a reply.
• The likes and comments on the post itself, so you can tell how busy it was.
• A View link that opens the post on LinkedIn.

Comments made with the Chrome extension are marked Extension. They do not have a View link or post numbers.

Allen behind the scenes

The strip at the bottom is always all time:

• Runs: how many times Allen has searched for you.
• Posts found: how many posts it brought back.
• Comments written: how many comments it drafted.
• Post rate: the share of drafted comments you actually posted.
• Thumbs up: how many comments you rated up.
• Your edits: how many times you changed a comment before posting.

A low post rate means Allen is drafting comments you do not want to use. That is a sign to tighten your targeting or give Allen better example comments.

What is not here

There is no count of how many people saw your comments. LinkedIn does not share that number, so Allen measures replies instead.
