See which posts produce leads
The Posts page ranks every post Embers reads, from your profile, watchlist, keywords, and qualified posts, by the leads it brought, and shows who they are.
The Posts page (/posts) answers one question: which posts bring you buyers, not just engagement. It lists every post Embers reads for your workspace, ranks them by the leads each one brought, and shows you who those people are.
What the page lists
Posts arrive from four sources, each with its own tab:
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Your posts | Posts from your own profiles, read by the Your profile agent |
| Watchlist | Posts from the profiles and pages on your Watchlist |
| Keywords | Posts that matched a tracked keyword; the author is the lead |
| Qualified | Posts you qualified by hand |
All sources shows them together. Free shows Your posts only, and only the first three; every other source needs Solo or above, and the trial counts.
A sentence at the top sums up every post, whatever tab you are on, for example: “29 people came to you through 12 of the 51 posts Embers read, at 90% average fit. traxy’s posts brought the most: 27 leads from 21 posts. 4 posts brought leads this month.” A person who engaged with several posts counts once.

Read the ranking
The table starts ranked by Leads. Its columns are:
Column What it shows Post The post’s first lines, and under them where it came from: “Your post”, or the author’s name with “Watched profile”, “Keyword match” or “Qualified post” Who it brought The faces of up to four of its leads, best fit first, and how many more. “Not read yet” means Embers has not read who engaged; “28 people, no lead yet” means nobody among them matches your ICP Leads How many leads it brought, with a bar and the share of the people who engaged, for example “39% of 28” Engagements Reactions, comments and reposts Published When it was posted Select Leads, Engagements or Published to sort by it, most or newest first. Drag the edge of a column heading to resize it, and double-click the edge to reset that column; Reset widths in the toolbar puts every column back. The table shows 20 posts a page, with Previous and Next under it. The tab, period, sort, search and page are kept in the address, so a refresh or a shared link opens the same view. On a phone the posts are cards with the faces and a line such as “11 leads, 39% of 28 read”, and a Sort by menu in the toolbar replaces the column headings: Most leads, Most engagements, Highest lead rate, and Newest.
View at the end of the toolbar shows the posts as cards instead of a table on a wider screen: pick Cards to preview them on your own posts, then Apply cards to keep it, or Back to table (or Esc). The choice is yours on this page, in this browser. Cards have no column headings, so they sort from the Sort by menu.
The row menu has See its leads, which opens the post (Open the post for a qualified post), and Open on LinkedIn.
Open a post
Selecting a row opens a panel that depends on the source:
- Your post or a watched profile’s post opens the post: its date, its topic and View on LinkedIn, who posted it, the text folded to three lines (Show more opens the rest, with its line breaks, when the fold hides any), and one line of numbers, for example “58 engagements · 48 reactions · 10 comments · 11 leads, 39% of 28 read”. Under it, choose Leads or Everyone. Each person shows once, with their photo, name, headline, what they did and when, their comment quoted if they left one, their fit, and Reply, which opens their lead page at the message drafter.
- A keyword match opens Keyword match: the author, the engagement and lead counts, View leads, Open on LinkedIn, and Why it matched, which opens the Keywords page with the match reason.
- A qualified post opens its result on Qualify Post (
/qualify-post).
Selecting a person opens their lead beside the list, so you can act on them without leaving the page, including drafting a message from what they engaged with. See work a lead from its full page.
Troubleshooting
- “No posts yet”. Your agents have not read anything yet. The first scan can take a while; see what the first scan reads. Monitor post opens Add monitor on the Watchlist at Qualify a post; switch to Profiles or Keywords to add another kind of source.
- “No posts match”. The tab, period, or search filtered everything out. Try another source, period, or word.
- A post has engagement but 0 leads. Nobody who engaged cleared your ICP. Open the post: it reads “Nobody who engaged matches your ICP yet”, and Show the 28 people lists who did. Check ICP matching if buyers are missing.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does a post with hundreds of reactions show few leads?
- Leads counts only the people who engaged and match your ICP. A post that travelled outside your niche can draw a big audience and few buyers.
- Why do I only see three posts?
- Free shows your own posts only, and the first three of them. Solo and above, including the trial, show every post from every source.
- Can I sort the list by date?
- Yes. Select the **Published** column heading to put the newest posts first. Select **Leads** or **Engagements** to go back to ranking by those, highest first. Use the 30 days period to see recent posts only.
- Why don't I see faces in the Who it brought column?
- The faces are the leads a post brought, and seeing who they are needs Solo or above. The trial runs on Solo, so they show during the trial.
