LinkedIn hook analyzer
Paste your first line (the hook). We score it and tell you how to make it more gripping. Free, no signup.
The hook decides everything
On LinkedIn and X, the reader only sees your first line at first. If it does not grab them, the rest of the post will never get read. The analyzer scores your hook on simple criteria: length, a number, curiosity, a strong word, and a non generic opening.
A good hook runs between 15 and 120 characters, asks a question or opens a loop, and avoids flat openings like today I. The score tells you at a glance whether your line stops the scroll.

Frequently asked questions
What is a hook?
It is the first line of a post. On LinkedIn and X, it is the only part visible before the see more button. It decides whether people read you.
How long should a good hook be?
Between 15 and 120 characters. Long enough to intrigue, short enough to fit on one line before the cutoff.
Should I put a number in the hook?
Often yes. A number makes the promise concrete and credible, for example 3 mistakes or in 7 days.
Does the tool write the hook for me?
No, it scores it and comments on it. To generate hooks and full posts, use Makelead.
