Question from r/agency
"How are agency owners getting inbound from LinkedIn? I only see likes, not leads."
Inbound comes from trust. Trust comes from proof, clarity, and consistency.
Full guide: LinkedIn for Agency Owners.
The inbound system (3 parts)
1) Positioning
Make it obvious who you help and what outcome you deliver.
Headline template:
Agency Owner | [Niche] | [Outcome]
Examples:
- "Agency Owner | B2B SaaS Demand Gen | $40M Pipeline Influenced"
- "Agency Owner | Ecommerce Retention | +35% Repeat Revenue"
2) Proof content
Post mini case studies with numbers:
- Problem
- Decision
- Result
- Lesson
3) Easy next step
Offer a low-friction resource:
- Teardown
- Checklist
- Audit framework
5 inbound post templates
Template 1: Case study "We had [problem], tested [approach], and achieved [result]."
Template 2: Teardown "Here is why this landing page converts."
Template 3: Framework "My 4-step system for [outcome]."
Template 4: Myth "The myth: [myth]. The reality: [truth]."
Template 5: Checklist "Before spending on [channel], check these 5 items."
