Platform Playbook 05

Use LinkedIn when professional trust is part of the sale — not because every founder “should be posting”.

Profile, Company Page, feed, search, messaging, Premium, Sales Navigator. This Playbook is which LinkedIn job matches the business, what LinkedIn does not publish, and when to keep, change, reduce or stop.

Platform access, not a PDF. Volatile rules are dated and re-checked.

Research system

Some things change. Some things do not.

Evergreen principles

Usually stable even when the app updates.

  • Attention
  • Retention
  • Relevance
  • Conversion
  • Offer fit
  • Measurement

Platform-specific

Can move with product, policy or market.

  • Recommendation systems
  • Account types
  • Eligibility
  • Monetisation
  • AI-content rules
  • Commerce and features

Evergreen strategy tells you what to optimise. Platform-specific evidence tells you how that platform currently works.

How we judge platform claims

Source / type of evidence — already used inside the Playbooks.

01

What the platform says

Official platform documentation and policy.

02

What creators report

Community experience, symptoms and edge cases — not platform fact.

03

What the evidence actually supports

Independent datasets, studies and observable patterns.

04

What you should do

Practical GetAIReality recommendation based on the available evidence.

Evidence strength

How strong the proof is. Separate from where the fact applies.

STRONGMODERATEWEAK / ANECDOTALREGION-DEPENDENTPLATFORM-SPECIFIC
Strong
Direct official documentation or multiple strong sources support the point.
Moderate
Good evidence supports the direction, but context matters.
Weak / anecdotal
Creator/community reports or limited observations — useful as a signal, not a rule.
Region-dependent
Scope, not strength. The fact can vary by country, market, programme, rollout or law. It can sit next to Strong.
Platform-specific
Scope, not strength. This can change and carries a verification date.

The system on a real claim

Taken from the approved Playbook. Classification unchanged.

Evidence strength

STRONGPLATFORM-SPECIFIC

LinkedIn says Feed systems consider hundreds of signals, including post context and signals from your profile, network and activity. Suggested posts can come from outside your network.

Premium sells features, not an official organic-reach guarantee. Buy only for a feature you will use.

Evidence strength

WEAK / ANECDOTAL

A “shadowban” is not a published LinkedIn ranking formula. Invitation limits and enforcement exist, but hidden-penalty reports are not treated as platform fact.

Creator reports only — not a published distribution rule.

What this Playbook is for

  1. How the platform works in plain language.
  2. What the company officially says vs what creators claim.
  3. Setup, packaging, formats — enough to test, not a 12-week content course.
  4. Monetisation map without pretending ads are the business.
  5. A 30/60/90 test and a stop rule.

Building an AI Influencer?

This Playbook is the reach layer. The decision and build order live in the AI Influencer system.

Is this a PDF?

No. You get a login to a living library, so the module can be updated when the platform changes its published rules.

Are platform fees included?

No. Anything you choose to spend on ads or tools is yours, paid to that company directly.

Do you teach a secret algorithm?

No. We separate what the platform publishes from what creators report, and we say plainly where a number is not published at all.

What is the refund?

Fourteen days from purchase, no reason needed, even if you have already read it.
