LinkedIn Follower Tracker

Every run shows who newly followed you, who left, and how many are the people you are trying to reach, so you can tell whether your LinkedIn is working, not just growing.

Built by the team that ran 20+ brands with three people.

What it does

Is my LinkedIn actually working? Am I gaining the right followers, or just a number that goes up?

On a schedule you set, it collects your current LinkedIn followers, works out who is new and who left since last time, enriches each new follower with their company and role, and sorts them into categories you define, such as your ICP versus everyone else. It keeps a running history so you can watch the trend, and it hands you the classified list of new followers, which can also function as a targeting shortlist for your LinkedIn ads so you go after the warmest possible audience. You run it on your own accounts, so there is no shared or per-user cost.

Why get it

Growth you can trust

Not a nice-to-have. You see how many of your new followers are actually your ICP, so you know whether the presence is working.

See who your content attracts

Every new follower enriched by company and role and sorted into your categories, so your audience is a list of real people, not a number.

A warm audience for your ads

The classified follower list uploads straight into LinkedIn as a matched audience, so you advertise to people already warming to you.

Questions

What do I need to run it?

A PhantomBuster account (a paid product), and either Claude Code or Cowork for the plugin version, or an n8n instance for the workflow version. The plugin needs only your PhantomBuster key. The n8n version also needs a LinkedIn session cookie, Google and OpenAI.

+

Why does it need PhantomBuster if the tool is free?

The tool is free and open source, and there is no per-user cost. PhantomBuster is the paid service that pulls your follower list from LinkedIn. If you already run PhantomBuster, or you are building a B2B presence seriously enough to, this is for you. Later on, as the technology makes it possible to do this reliably, we plan to update the tool to drop the PhantomBuster dependency.

+

Whose followers can I track?

Any profile you run it on from your own accounts. People use it on their own profile and on the founders or brands they manage.

+

How often should I run it?

Weekly or every two weeks. The value is in the trend, whether your ICP share rises as you post, which you only see across runs. Before running anything LinkedIn automation-related, we recommend studying the PhantomBuster documents on safe frequency best practices. We don't want to get your account suspended, would we?

+

Can I really use the followers for LinkedIn ads?

Yes. The enriched list gives you the followers with their company and role, and also their profile URL, which you can upload to LinkedIn as a matched audience, so you advertise to the warmest possible people. No email needed.
