In traxy, Insights and each tracked profile show how many qualified leads a source brought in, their ICP match and the posts they came from; the Inbox shows who replied; and Outbound > Meetings, with Google Calendar connected, matches booked meetings to leads. Open each lead's Signals tab to see the post behind it, credit one source per person, and compare sources over the same period and campaign.** traxy, which publishes this guide, runs your entire LinkedIn GTM end to end, from finding high intent leads from social intent to enriching and researching each one, to running relevant, personalized LinkedIn and email outreach to them on autopilot. You test a campaign on sample leads and approve the launch once, and then it runs on its own, or you approve every message. Because the leads, the outreach, the replies and the matched meetings sit in one workspace, you can follow a tracked source all the way to a conversation. Product steps below come from the traxy docs on [Insights](https://docs.traxy.ai/reporting/performance) , [meetings and outcomes](https://docs.traxy.ai/reporting/meetings) and [tracking](https://docs.traxy.ai/discovery/tracking) , checked November 2026. ## How can I tell which competitors or creators I track bring in leads that reply or book meetings? Count, for each source, the qualified leads it surfaced, how many of them you contacted, how many replied and how many booked a meeting, over the same dates, and keep the counts next to the rates. A creator whose few engagers reply and book is worth more than a busy competitor feed whose engagers never answer. In traxy the numbers live in four places, and you join them through the lead: 1. **Lead volume per source** is on each tracked profile under **Targeting** > **People** (or a post under **Posts**), and **Insights** ranks the top profiles or posts bringing in leads. 2. **Leads contacted** is in each campaign under **Outbound** > **Campaigns**, which shows the campaign funnel and the stage of each lead. 3. **Replies** are in **Outbound** > **Inbox**, one conversation per lead across LinkedIn and email. 4. **Meetings** are in **Outbound** > **Meetings**, matched to leads once Google Calendar is connected, with the outcome you record. The thread that ties them together is the source on every lead: each lead's **Signals** tab shows the post, comment, like or repost that put the person on your list, with its date. traxy's docs don't describe one built-in report of replies or meetings per tracked profile, so the method below joins these views yourself, by hand, through trax (the traxy agent) or from your AI chat through the [traxy MCP](https://traxy.ai/linkedin-mcp) . ## How does source measurement work, step by step? Here is the whole loop, from the first tracked profile to a keep, fix or drop decision: 1. **Set your lead criteria and signals.** A person only becomes a lead with a 50%+ ICP match, so the criteria decide what every source is measured on. 2. **Track your sources and tag them.** Add competitors, creators, customers, teammates or investors under **Targeting** > **People**, single posts by URL, and company pages by domain. Give each profile a relationship tag so you can compare groups. 3. **Read lead volume per source.** After a few weeks, open **Insights** with a fixed date range, then open each tracked profile to see the leads it surfaced, their ICP match and the posts they came from. 4. **Send the leads to a campaign.** A campaign researches each lead for the facts you choose, groups leads by signal and prepares a personalized message variant for each group, over LinkedIn and email from your connected sender accounts. 5. **Test and approve.** Run the campaign on sample leads with nothing sent, check the launch review (who joins, who is skipped), then launch. Choose whether the approved campaign sends on its own or you approve each message in a review queue. 6. **Collect replies and meetings.** Replies land in the Inbox and stop the sequence; meetings appear in **Outbound** > **Meetings** when your calendar is connected. 7. **Credit each reply and meeting to one source.** Open the lead, read its Signals tab and note the post and author that found the person first. 8. **Decide.** Keep, fix, pause or replace each source using the table further down, then add new sources in the topics that worked. ## What do you set up before you start measuring? Four things make the numbers comparable later. Skip one and you end up comparing sources on different terms. - **Lead criteria and a Signal Brief.** Under **Targeting**, set who fits (roles, seniority, locations, company size, industry) and the topics that make someone relevant. If you change the criteria midway, traxy can re-check active leads and offer to move the ones that no longer match to Done, which changes your counts, so note the date of any change. - **Relationship tags on every tracked profile.** Competitor, teammate, influencer, investor or a custom label such as Customer. You can filter tracked profiles by relationship or status, so you can compare all competitors against all creators, not only one profile against another. - **Connected sender accounts.** Sending needs at least one LinkedIn account or mailbox connected under **Settings** > **Sender accounts**, with its limits and active hours. - **Google Calendar.** Open **Integrations** > **Google Calendar**, connect the account and select the calendars where sales meetings land. Without it, **Meetings** has nothing to match. There are no tracking limits on profiles, posts or company pages, so the constraint is your attention and your workspace capacity, not a slot count. Adding a profile runs an initial discovery on its recent posts, and the qualified leads it delivers use your workspace capacity ([tracking docs](https://docs.traxy.ai/discovery/tracking) ). ## Leads per source: what Insights and each tracked profile show Insights gives you the workspace view and each tracked profile gives you the source view. Use both, with the same date range. ### Insights Open **Insights** and set the date range. It shows lead volume, trends, audience breakdowns and the top profiles or posts bringing in leads. The docs ask you to keep the same workspace and scope when you move between Insights, Tracking and Leads, so a comparison of two sources uses the same period on every screen ([Insights docs](https://docs.traxy.ai/reporting/performance) ). What Insights tells you: which sources bring the most qualified leads. What it doesn't tell you: which of those leads replied or booked. Treat its ranking as the top of the funnel. ### Each tracked profile and post Open any profile under **Targeting** > **People**, or a post under **Posts**. Each tracked profile shows the leads it surfaced, their ICP match and the posts they came from. The **Posts** tab inside a profile lists that profile's posts; **Single posts** holds the posts you added by link. Read three things per source: - **Qualified leads in the period.** Only people with a 50%+ ICP match count, so this is already filtered for fit. - **The ICP match spread.** A source whose leads sit near the 50% line is weaker than one whose leads sit well above it, even at the same volume. - **Which posts did the work.** Sometimes one or two posts bring most of a profile's leads. That points you to topics, covered in the next section. Profile viewers can be measured as a source too. Turn on the **Profile views** switch on the LinkedIn activity card under **Targeting** > **Signals**, then filter **Leads** by LinkedIn activity, for example people who viewed your profile in the last 30 days, and save that as a view. ## Which post topics draw your ICP, not only likes? Rank posts by qualified leads, not by likes or comments. A post with a modest reaction count can bring more people who fit your ICP than a viral one, because a lot of viral engagement can come from peers and onlookers outside your market. A simple way to find the topics that work: 1. **List the posts that brought leads.** From each tracked profile and from the top posts in Insights, write down each post, its author, its date and its qualified leads in the period. 2. **Label each post with one topic.** Use your own words, ideally the same topics as your Signal Brief: a buyer pain, a tool comparison, a hiring problem, a case study. 3. **Add the evidence strength.** Each lead is labeled Warm, Related, Activity or ICP match by how strong the evidence is. A topic whose leads are mostly Warm is closer to your problem than one whose leads are mostly Activity. 4. **Add replies and meetings later.** Once the campaign has run, add the replies and matched meetings to the same rows. Then the topic ranking reflects conversations, not reach. Patterns that show up in this kind of list are worth acting on. The [Superfiliate case study](https://traxy.ai/case-studies/superfiliate) puts it this way: when a competitor posts a case study, the people engaging with it have already qualified themselves. From your AI chat, the traxy MCP reads post analytics and qualified leads per post, so you can ask which tracked posts brought the most qualified leads this month and paste the answer into your topic list. For a client-facing version of the same table, see [how to show clients which LinkedIn posts brought in leads](https://traxy.ai/blog/linkedin-content-client-lead-report) . ## Joining sources to replies and meetings You join a reply or a meeting to a source through the lead: open the lead, read its Signals tab, and credit the tracked profile or post that found the person first. ### Replies Open **Outbound** > **Inbox**. Each conversation is one lead across LinkedIn and email, and the details pane shows the lead, the campaign context and the sequence progress. Use **All**, **Unread** and **Unresponded** to work through the queue. For each reply, open the lead, note its source and mark whether the reply was positive. An incoming reply stops the active sequence. If you route lead-reply notifications to Slack, you get the same replies in a channel as they arrive, which makes the tally easier to keep. ### Meetings Open **Outbound** > **Meetings**. Each meeting shows its matched lead or company. Open the lead, read its Signals tab and write the source next to the meeting. Then record the outcome: **Active opportunity**, **Already a client** or **Closed won** ([meetings docs](https://docs.traxy.ai/reporting/meetings) ). Matching depends on attendee and lead information, so connecting a calendar does not mean every event matches; when a meeting matched the company but not the person, list it on its own line instead of crediting a post. ### Getting cleaner numbers per source Two ways to keep the join simple: - **Give an important source its own campaign.** Campaigns use shared views. A view saved while a post's lead scope is selected keeps that post scope, so a single competitor launch post can feed its own campaign, and that campaign's funnel is that post's funnel. For a tracked profile, ask trax to show the leads from that profile and save them as a view; if trax saves it as a fixed audience, new leads from the profile won't join it until you save again. - **Pull it into a sheet.** The REST API reads leads, signals, tracked profiles, analytics and meetings, and its signal records carry the post and tracked-profile context. The traxy MCP reads attributed meetings and each lead's signals with the posts behind them, so you can ask your AI chat for this month's matched meetings with the tracked profile behind each lead. For the meeting side in more depth, including outcome definitions and troubleshooting a missing meeting, see [how to track meetings booked from LinkedIn outreach](https://traxy.ai/blog/track-meetings-booked-from-linkedin-outreach) . A scorecard you can copy: Source (tag) Qualified leads Leads contacted Positive replies Meetings matched Outcomes The tracked profile or post, with its relationship tag From the tracked profile or Insights, for the period From the campaign funnel From the Inbox, credited through each lead's Signals tab From Outbound > Meetings, person matches only Active opportunity, Already a client or Closed won ## When to drop or add a source Drop a source when enough of its leads have been contacted and none of them reply; fix the message first when a source brings plenty of good-fit leads that go quiet; add sources in the topics and relationship groups that already produce replies. What you see What it usually means What to do Steady qualified leads, some replies or meetings The audience fits and the message lands Keep it. Look for similar authors in the same topic. Few leads, but they reply and book A small, precise audience Keep it. Low volume is fine when the conversations are good. Many qualified leads, no replies The message may not match what they engaged with Check the message variant that group got and the research behind it before you drop the source. Many engagers, few qualified leads or weak ICP match The audience is mostly peers or outside your market Check your lead criteria; mark clear misses Bad fit with a reason; pause if it stays weak. No leads after a few weeks The profile posts rarely or off-topic Pause or remove it. You can restore it later. Ways to add sources once you know what works: - **Find posts on the winning topic.** Ask trax for LinkedIn posts on a topic, or posts similar to one you paste, then track the posts or their authors. - **Search the social intent database.** Social Intent Search covers 71M+ scanned LinkedIn likes, posts and comments in plain English, and each person comes with the post or comment behind them, which shows you whose posts your buyers engage with. - **Track the company pages of competitors.** Add a company by domain or LinkedIn page and traxy reads its page posts for engagers who fit your ICP. - **Track yourself and your team.** Engagement on your own posts and your teammates' posts is a source like any other, measured the same way. For how to pick the first sources, see [who to track on LinkedIn to find leads](https://traxy.ai/blog/who-to-track-on-linkedin-for-leads) . ## Counting mistakes to avoid - **Adding up post counts.** Several posts can include the same person, so post-level counts added together may not equal your unique leads. Count people on the **Leads** page ([Insights docs](https://docs.traxy.ai/reporting/performance) ). - **Crediting one person to two sources.** When someone engaged with two tracked profiles, credit the one whose post found them first, by the date on the Signals tab, and count them once. - **Treating every event as a lead.** A profile scan, a post engagement and a delivered qualified lead are different events. Compare sources on qualified leads. - **Treating every step as success.** A delivered message is not a reply, and a reply is not a booked meeting ([meetings docs](https://docs.traxy.ai/reporting/meetings) ). Count positive replies separately from "not now" and unsubscribes. - **Different windows and offers.** Compare sources over the same weeks, with the same reply window after the first message, and through similar campaigns. Otherwise you are measuring the offer, not the source. - **Rates on tiny numbers.** Write "2 meetings from 12 leads contacted", not "17%". One reply swings a small sample. - **Mixing up outcomes.** **Already a client** and **Closed won** are different outcomes. Pick based on the actual relationship so customer meetings don't inflate new business. - **Reading a volume drop as a weak source.** If your workspace reaches its capacity, new lead discovery pauses, and every source goes quiet at once. Check capacity before you blame a profile. For which outreach numbers matter most once leads are flowing, see [the LinkedIn metrics that predict revenue](https://traxy.ai/blog/linkedin-metrics-that-predict-revenue) and [what moves your LinkedIn outreach reply rate](https://traxy.ai/blog/linkedin-outreach-reply-rate) . ## What are the limits? - **No one-click per-source reply report.** traxy's docs don't describe a built-in report of replies or meetings per tracked profile. You join them through each lead, by hand, through trax, the MCP or the API. - **Meeting matching is not complete.** It depends on attendee and lead information, and an event on a connected calendar is not automatically an attributed meeting. - **Attribution is first touch, not cause.** "Meetings from leads first found on this post" is accurate; "meetings this post caused" is not, because the lead may have had other contact with you. - **Recent posts by default.** Ongoing monitoring of a tracked profile follows its five most recent posts published after you added it. Add older posts by URL. - **Fit is not a purchase decision.** The ICP match score measures fit, not the chance someone buys, and engagement shows interest in a topic, not budget. - **Small samples.** A few weeks of data from one campaign is a direction, not a verdict. Re-check sources after each campaign. ## FAQ ### Does traxy show replies per tracked profile? Not as one built-in report in the docs. Each tracked profile shows the leads it surfaced, their ICP match and the posts they came from, and the Inbox shows replies per lead. You join the two through each lead's Signals tab, or give a key source its own campaign so its funnel stands alone. ### How long should I track a source before I judge it? Long enough for its leads to go through a campaign and for replies to come in, usually a few weeks. Judge lead volume first, then replies and meetings once enough of its leads have been contacted. ### What if the same person engaged with two sources I track? Count them once, credited to the source whose post found them first. In outreach a lead joins only one unfinished campaign at a time, because campaigns run in priority order. ### Do booked meetings show up automatically? Once Google Calendar is connected and the right calendars are selected, traxy matches calendar meetings to leads in Outbound > Meetings. Matching depends on attendee information, so check a missing meeting against the account, calendar, date range and sync status. ### Can I ask these questions from Claude or ChatGPT? Yes, through the traxy MCP. It reads aggregate performance, post analytics, qualified leads per post and attributed meetings, and lists each lead's signals with the posts behind them. It can also draft, test and launch campaigns, with a yes in chat before anything sends. ### Do the messages to these leads go out automatically? Only after you approve. You test the campaign on sample leads with nothing sent and approve the launch, and then it runs on autopilot from your connected sender accounts, or you approve every message in the review queue. Replies, unsubscribes and hard bounces stop the sequence. ### Is there a limit on how many profiles or posts I can track? No. There are no tracking limits on profiles, posts or company pages. Qualified leads use your workspace capacity; see [pricing](https://traxy.ai/pricing) for plans. ## Related reading - [Who to track on LinkedIn to find leads](https://traxy.ai/blog/who-to-track-on-linkedin-for-leads) - [How to track meetings booked from LinkedIn outreach](https://traxy.ai/blog/track-meetings-booked-from-linkedin-outreach) - [How to show clients which LinkedIn posts brought in leads](https://traxy.ai/blog/linkedin-content-client-lead-report) - [LinkedIn metrics that predict revenue](https://traxy.ai/blog/linkedin-metrics-that-predict-revenue) - [LinkedIn outreach reply rate](https://traxy.ai/blog/linkedin-outreach-reply-rate) - [LinkedIn outbound with traxy](https://traxy.ai/linkedin-outbound) **Try it:** tag the profiles you track, give your strongest source its own campaign, and compare its replies with the rest in a month, using [LinkedIn and email outreach](https://traxy.ai/linkedin-outbound) you approve first.
