These are impressions, added up, not people. Colleagues share a lot of the same audience.

The data
LinkedIn reach per post, by employee audience
The impressions we measured this month for every follower bracket, and what a posting round from your team is worth in each.
In July 2026, the median LinkedIn post reached 561 impressions across 24,928 posts analyzed by MagicPost. An employee advocacy program is worth that reach times the number of posts your team actually publishes.

A simulation opens the conversation. What closes it is the reach your team actually got, post by post.

How the simulator gets to its number
- The reach per post is measured
MagicPost aggregates the impressions of LinkedIn posts published by people who track their stats with us, and summarizes each follower bracket with percentiles. One viral post cannot move your estimate.
- The whole formula is on screen
Employees times posts times the median reach of one post, and that is the entire calculation. There is no engagement multiplier and no amplification bonus, so every coefficient is one you can check against the numbers above.
- No unique reach, no pipeline
We add impressions, not people: your colleagues share much of the same audience and we do not measure that overlap. Turning views into leads or revenue would be a third guess stacked on the first two.

A simulation is a plan, analytics is the proof
The numbers above are an estimate, built from the reach of accounts your employees' size. Once they start posting, MagicPost shows what each post really did, pulled through LinkedIn's official APIs.
What your team really reached. The number your leadership asked for, collected automatically with nothing for employees to install.
A rhythm you can hold. Drafts, schedule and reminders, so the program survives past its first enthusiastic month.
Proof the plan worked. Compare what your team really reached against the estimate you defended internally.
FAQ
Questions about LinkedIn employee advocacy
How much reach does employee advocacy actually add?
It depends on three things only: how many employees post, how often, and how large their audiences are. The first two are decisions you make. The third is measured here, from the impressions LinkedIn posts really get in each follower bracket this month.
Why does the simulator ask for follower counts, not views?
Because nobody knows the views of a post that has not been published yet, and a guessed number of views decides the whole result. Follower count is something you can check on a profile in five seconds, and we hold the reach that usually goes with it. LinkedIn Reach Calculator
Is the total the number of people who see our message?
No. It adds impressions across posts, and the same colleague, client or candidate can be counted several times. Treat it as volume of exposure, not audience size. Unique reach would require overlap data that no advocacy tool has.
Are these numbers a promise?
No, they are a median. Half the posts in a bracket land below it, and an employee who posts once a quarter will do worse than the accounts we measure, which publish regularly. That is why the tool also shows a quiet month and a strong month. See the full monthly impressions report
What makes an advocacy program hold past month one?
A rhythm your employees can keep and content they do not have to write from scratch. Programs die on the calendar, not on the idea. MagicPost gives each person drafts, a queue and reminders, then shows what their posts reached. Track your team's impressions with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics
