Competitor Post Engagers

Find ICP-fit leads by scraping engagers from a competitor's top-performing LinkedIn posts. Given one or more company page URLs, this skill finds their highest-engagement recent posts, extracts everyone who reacted or commented, and classifies by ICP fit.

Core principle: Scrape all posts in one call per company, then locally rank and select the top N. This minimizes Apify costs while maximizing lead quality.

Phase 0: Intake

Ask the user these questions:

Target Companies

  1. LinkedIn company page URL(s) to scrape (e.g.,
    https://www.linkedin.com/company/11x-ai/
    )
  2. Time window — how many days back to look (default: 30)
  3. Top N posts per company to extract engagers from (default: 1)

ICP Criteria

  1. ICP keywords — job title/role terms that indicate a good lead (e.g., "sales", "SDR", "revenue")
  2. Exclude keywords — roles to filter out (e.g., "software engineer", "designer")
  3. Geographic focus (optional, e.g., "United States")

Save config in the current working directory (or user-specified path):

competitor-post-engagers-config.json

Config JSON structure:

{
  "name": "<run-name>",
  "company_urls": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/<competitor>/"],
  "days_back": 30,
  "max_posts": 50,
  "max_reactions": 500,
  "max_comments": 200,
  "top_n_posts": 1,
  "icp_keywords": ["sales", "revenue", "growth", "SDR", "BDR", "outbound"],
  "exclude_keywords": ["software engineer", "developer", "designer"],
  "enrich_companies": true,
  "competitor_company_names": ["<competitor-name>"],
  "industry_keywords": ["freight", "logistics", "trucking", "transportation", "3pl", "supply chain", "carrier", "brokerage", "shipping", "warehousing"],
  "output_dir": "output"
}
  • enrich_companies
    — Enable Apollo company enrichment (default: true). Set to false or use
    --skip-company-enrich
    to skip.
  • competitor_company_names
    — Company names to exclude from enrichment (the competitor itself).
  • industry_keywords
    — Industry terms that indicate ICP fit. Matched against Apollo's industry field.

The

output_dir
is relative to the script directory by default. Override it with an absolute path to write output to a specific location.

Phase 1: Run the Pipeline

python3 skills/competitor-post-engagers/scripts/competitor_post_engagers.py \
  --config competitor-post-engagers-config.json \
  [--test] [--yes] [--skip-company-enrich] [--top-n 3] [--max-runs 30]

Flags:

  • --config
    (required) — path to config JSON
  • --test
    — small limits (20 posts, 50 profiles, 1 top post)
  • --yes
    — skip cost confirmation prompts
  • --skip-company-enrich
    — skip Apollo company enrichment step (saves credits)
  • --top-n
    — override top_n_posts from config
  • --max-runs
    — override Apify run limit

Pipeline Steps

Step 1: Scrape company posts + engagers — For each company URL, one Apify call using

harvestapi/linkedin-company-posts
with
scrapeReactions: true, scrapeComments: true
. Returns posts, reactions, and comments in a single dataset.

Step 2: Rank & select top posts — Filter posts by time window (

days_back
), rank by total engagement (reactions + comments), select top N per company. Then extract engagers (reactors + commenters) only from those selected posts. Deduplication by name. Score engagers by position:

  • +3
    Commenter (higher intent)
  • +2
    Position matches ICP keywords
  • -5
    Position matches exclude keywords

Step 3: Company enrichment (Apollo) — Extract unique company names from engagers, call

apollo.enrich_organization(name=...)
for each. Returns industry, employee count, description, and location. ~1 Apollo credit per unique company. Merge data back to all engagers from that company. Skip with
--skip-company-enrich
or
"enrich_companies": false
.

Step 4: ICP classify & export — Classify as Likely ICP / Possible ICP / Unknown / Tech Vendor. Uses both headline keyword matching AND company industry data (from Step 3) — if the engager's company industry matches

industry_keywords
, they're classified as "Likely ICP" regardless of role. Export CSV.

Cost Estimates

Est. Apify cost (1 company)~$0.10~$0.50-1
Est. Apollo credits (company enrich)~10-20~30-80 unique companies
Est. Apollo cost~$0.05-0.10~$0.15-0.40

Phase 2: Review & Refine

Present results:

  • Post selection — which posts were chosen and why (engagement counts, preview)
  • Per-company breakdown — how many leads from each competitor
  • ICP breakdown — counts by tier
  • Top 15 leads — name, role, company, engagement type

Common adjustments:

  • Too many irrelevant leads — tighten
    icp_keywords
    or add
    exclude_keywords
  • Missing ICP leads — broaden
    icp_keywords
  • Wrong posts selected — increase
    top_n_posts
    or adjust
    days_back
  • Too expensive — use
    --test
    mode or lower
