Will your LinkedIn post get seen, or buried?
Paste the draft you are about to publish. You get a reach-readiness reading, every line that costs you distribution marked where it sits, and the fix for each one. It takes about four seconds.
Free, no login, and your draft is never stored.

What it checks, and why each one costs you
The same fixed list, run the same way on every draft. Two posts with the same problems get the same reading, which is the part a model asked to “rate this post” cannot give you.
Links in the body
An outbound link sitting in the post itself is the single most expensive mistake on this list. The grader finds it, marks it, and tells you to move it to the first comment.
Engagement bait
"Comment YES below." "Tag someone who needs this." A stack of questions in the closing line. The ask reads as a checklist, and it gets treated as one, so the grader rewrites the ending instead.
The hook and the fold
Your best line sitting under the "see more" cut where the scroll never reaches it. An opener too long to survive that cut. A hook with no blank line beneath it, so it reads as the top of a paragraph rather than as a hook.
Reading it on a phone
One dense block with nowhere for the eye to rest. A draft past the point where people stop finishing, which is what actually costs you the reach. Bullet characters that arrive on LinkedIn as stray asterisks.
Hashtags
How many you used, and how they are cased. Both are small, both are trivially fixable, and both are visible to anyone reading the post.
Whether it reads as AI
Em dashes. "Leverage", "game-changer", "in today’s fast-paced world". The "not X, but Y" flip that every model reaches for. These are the tells that lose a reader before the idea has landed.
Why a good post gets buried
Reach is decided in the first minutes, by whether people stop, stay and respond. Almost nothing that suppresses a post has anything to do with how good it is.
The mechanics
A link in the body. An ask that reads as bait. A hook sitting under the fold where the scroll never reached it. Each one costs you distribution before your thinking enters into it.
The writing itself
LinkedIn does not read your draft and rule that a machine wrote it. It measures whether anyone stayed. Generic AI prose gets almost no dwell time, and a post nobody finishes stops being distributed.
Not a virality score. It does not predict likes, comments or impressions, because nothing can, and a tool that claims to is selling you a feeling. What it reads is narrower: whether the draft is carrying anything that works against it.
Knowing what is wrong is not the same as fixing it
The grader tells you a line is costing you reach. Rewriting it so it still sounds like you, at eleven at night, is the part that does not happen. That is what the rest of GoReach is for.
Grade the draft
Free, above, right now. You see the reading, every finding, and the named fix for each one before you have given us anything.
Teach it your voice
Paste a few posts you have already published. GoReach learns how you actually write from them, which is the difference between a rewrite and a replacement.
Fix, then ship it
It applies the fixes, rewrites the draft in your voice, and publishes or schedules it through LinkedIn’s official API. No automation on your account.
