LinkedIn Trend Radar

Know what to post before everyone else does. Five researched topic ideas in your inbox every Sunday night.

Posting on LinkedIn works best when you're early. Get there a week late and you're the tenth person repeating the same headline. Staying early usually means hours of reading industry news, scrolling Reddit and guessing what's about to take off.

We built a system that does the reading for you. Every Sunday evening it scans the week's news, forums and search trends. It works out which topics are actually gaining momentum and emails you five ready-to-write post ideas, each with its own angle.

How it works (the short version)

It listens all week. It tracks industry news sites, Google News searches on your niche, Reddit and Hacker News conversations, and what Canada is searching on Google Trends.
It counts what's rising. It doesn't just collect headlines. It counts how often each topic comes up and compares that with last week, so you see what's gaining attention, not what's always noisy.
It filters out the noise. Topics outside your expertise (paid ads, for example) are dropped automatically, and every idea has to be backed by at least two independent sources. One viral thread isn't a trend.
AI picks the best five. It chooses the strongest topics for your audience and writes a hook, an outline, the take most people will post, and your different angle.
You get one tidy email. All five ideas arrive Sunday at 6pm, and they're saved to a Google Sheet so you never repeat yourself.

Why it matters

Hours of research, done for you

No more Monday-morning scramble for something to say. The reading, sorting and shortlisting happen while you're off for the weekend.

Early, not late

Industry news usually reaches LinkedIn several days after it breaks. The radar catches it at the source, so you can post while it's still news.

Real momentum, not guesswork

Every idea shows the evidence behind it: how many mentions, how many sources, and how much that changed since last week. You know why a topic made the list.

Stand out, don't echo

Each idea spells out what everyone else will say and then gives you a different angle: a local take, a contrarian view, or a lesson from your own work. That's what gets you noticed.

Stays on your expertise

You set the topics you're known for and the ones to avoid. The radar never pushes you toward subjects you don't sell or can't speak to.

Never repeats itself

Every idea is logged, and the radar checks its own history before suggesting anything, so each week feels fresh.

Costs almost nothing to run

It uses a low-cost AI model and free news sources, so a weekly run typically costs a few cents.

What lands in your inbox

Each of the five ideas comes with:

A ready-to-use hook, plus two alternatives
The evidence, for example "14 mentions across 5 sources, up from 3 last week"
Why now: what happened this week
What everyone else will say, and your different angle
Proof to pull: what from your own work would back it up
A short outline and links to the sources
A score out of 10, with the best idea first

Who it's for

Founders and consultants building a personal brand on LinkedIn
Agency owners who want to be seen as the go-to voice in their niche
Busy professionals who know they should post more but never know what to say
Marketing teams feeding a regular content calendar
