What this is
Impressions get reported. They do not get optimised for. The numbers that matter are profile views from target companies, the rate at which those become conversations, and inbound share of pipeline.
What you get
Where it sits
A managed publishing system rather than a posting habit.
Frequently asked
For founder content in Indian B2B, two to four per cent of impressions is healthy. Higher usually means a small, very warm audience; much lower means the content is being served to the wrong people.
Profile views within four to six weeks. Conversations within three months. Pipeline share within six to nine. Anyone quoting faster is describing paid media.
Where they add signal. Most of what matters can be read from LinkedIn's own analytics plus your CRM, and adding tools rarely improves decisions.
Impression counts move with algorithm changes you do not control and correlate weakly with pipeline. We report them because people ask, and we do not make decisions from them.
The number that matters most early. It tells you whether the right people are reading, which is a different question from whether many people are reading.
Profile views to qualified conversations. This is the honest efficiency measure of a founder programme and almost nobody tracks it.
The board-level number. What percentage of qualified pipeline arrived rather than being chased. If that percentage is not moving by month nine, something is wrong upstream.
