Include the market, topic and recent period, but let it discover sources beyond profiles you already know. **Compare patterns across authors** Ask the agent to group posts by problem, point of view, evidence, format, opening and discussion quality. Large current studies show that format and audience context matter, so compare like-for-like examples rather than relying on generic posting rules. **How should I use LinkedIn reactions and comments?** Use them to identify posts and questions that deserve closer review, not as representative sentiment. Account reach, network composition and distribution affect visible engagement, while comments can provide more useful objections and language than the count alone. **Example prompt** This prompt turns LinkedIn research into a source-led content or positioning brief. Example prompt to give your agent `Use Scrollport's LinkedIn post research tools to investigate how [PROFESSIONAL AUDIENCE] discusses [TOPIC OR PROBLEM] during [DATES]. Discover relevant authors and company pages, identify repeated viewpoints, formats, evidence, questions and objections, retain direct post links, and propose three original angles for [CONTENT OR POSITIONING DECISION]. Show me the price before the paid run.` --- Canonical page: https://scrollport.com/tools/linkedin-api
