Who owns the feed, market by market

We build a named market on LinkedIn for one company: the actual people who engage that category, by name, with role. Then we count what that market reacts to.

Every table on this page is the same measurement. Market reactions per post means reactions and comments from the sampled market on a vendor's public posts in a 90 day window, divided by that vendor's posts in the same window. The sample size and the window are printed on every table. Zero is printed as zero.

Three markets are counted so far. Each summary below links to the full table.

What we count on LinkedIn, and why vendors and founders should care

A market here is a list of named people. We start with the people who reacted to or commented on competitors' posts in the category, filter that pool by title, then rank by how often they engage. The tables use the most active slice of the pool.

Then we take every vendor in the category and count how much of that named market touched their posts. We divide by post count, so a vendor publishing five times a week is not rewarded for volume.

If you sell into one of these categories, follower count answers a different question. The number on these pages is how many of the people who decide in your category reacted to you in 90 days. In revenue tooling that number runs from 13.6 per post at the top to 0 at the bottom, inside the same 170 people.

If you are a founder there is a second number. Across the markets we have pulled, founders and operators out-reach their own company pages by roughly 10x. In ecommerce customer-service AI, two named founders at one vendor reached 40 of the sampled market. Their company page reached 3.

Revenue tooling: who owns the feed

Nordics pull, 27 August 2026. 90 day window. 170 most active of 642 sampled people who engaged the category's posts.

VendorMarket reactions per post
Gong13.6
Outreach11.0
Salesloft4.1
Clari2.8
Attention0.0

Gong took 327 market reactions in the window, Outreach 264. Attention published 24 posts and took nothing from this market. The most-reacted post in the whole category was craft: Gong on the biggest sales call mistake, 74 market reactions from the 170. And the account this market follows most closely belongs to an account executive at Gong who writes a newsletter, ahead of every CEO in the category. 29 of the 170 engaged him.

Ecommerce customer-service AI: who owns the feed

London pull, August 2026. 90 day window. 170 most active of 264 sampled people.

VendorMarket reactions per post
Kustomer6.6
Gladly3.2
Siena3.1
Gorgias0.8
Narvar0.2

Kustomer takes double the rate of anyone else in the category, and it gets there with profession content: CX Day, certification, awards, community. Gorgias, the best known ecommerce helpdesk brand in the table, sits at 0.8 per post. Siena pulls the largest raw crowd of any vendor here, 444 engagers, and converts it at half Kustomer's rate. The most engaged account in this market belongs to a professional association rather than a vendor. The CX Professionals Association was engaged by 50 of the 170.

AI agent platforms: who is in the crowd

UK pull, 20 August 2026. Eight anchor platforms, 90 days, 4,449 raw reactors. This table is a ratio rather than a rate.

PlatformBuilders and practitioners per service owner or lead
Botpress11:1
n8n14.8:1
Voiceflow15.8:1
Lindy55:1
Gumloop87.7:1

Across all eight platforms, 79 people whose title suggests they sign, and 1,523 builders and practitioners. Every anchor skews the same way and the only difference is by how much. 27 people show up around two or more platforms, so the crowds barely overlap.

Next markets we are counting

These are being built now. We publish no numbers until a pull is finished.

  • German HR software
  • ERP for the Mittelstand
  • B2B payments
  • Developer tools
  • Cybersecurity

Each one gets the same treatment. Competitor engagers first, then a title filter, then 90 days of counting.

What held across every market so far

Four markets pulled to date. Five things repeated in all of them.

  • Craft beats product news by about 2 to 1. The most-reacted post in a category is usually someone explaining how the work is done.
  • Founders and operators out-reach their company pages by roughly 10x.
  • The person a market follows is rarely a vendor CEO. So far it has been an account executive with a newsletter and a professional association.
  • Every market has an invisible vendor. A real company, real posts, a number at or near zero from the sampled market.
  • Markets split into two rooms. In ecommerce customer-service AI, 116 of 264 people were reachable in ecommerce-native rooms and 148 only in the profession's own rooms.

One finding is less comfortable. Not every market has a concentrated voice layer. In our own market, 3,472 named people, the top trusted voice overlapped 4.5 percent of a 200 person sample. That market follows nobody in particular, and we printed it the way it came out.

How we count, in five lines

  • A market is the people who engaged competitors' posts in the window, filtered by title.
  • Market reactions per post equals reactions and comments from that sampled market on a vendor's public posts, divided by the vendor's posts in the same 90 days.
  • The sample and the window are printed on every table.
  • Zero is printed as zero, with the vendor's post count next to it.
  • A title that looks right is not buying authority. We write the sampled market, never buyers decide.

The long version, including where the method is weak: /data/method

Questions

We start with the people who reacted to or commented on the posts of the vendors in a category during the window. That pool gets filtered by title and ranked by how often each person engages. The tables use the most active slice, and when we run this for a company, that company strikes out the fits that are wrong.

Total reactions rewards posting volume. A vendor publishing four times a week will out-total a vendor publishing twice a month even when each individual post lands worse. Dividing by posts in the window makes two vendors comparable, and we print the totals as well so you can read both.

The vendors in these tables are public companies and every number comes from their public posts. Nothing here comes from a private profile or a private list. We never name a person who reacted, and the companies whose readouts produced these numbers stay anonymous unless they ask to be named.

Yes. We need the category and the vendors you compete with, then we build the named market and run the same count over 90 days. The output is the table, plus the voices the market follows and the rooms it gathers in.
