How Platform Scoring Works
Every social media platform has a fundamentally different algorithm that rewards different content behaviors. The Scroll-Stop Analysis™ engine automatically adjusts the weight of each scoring dimension based on the platform you select.
For example, Instagram's algorithm heavily rewards saves and shares — so the engine increases the weight of Save/Share Utility and Visual Hierarchy for Instagram content. Read our deep dive on the Instagram algorithm for 2026.
TikTok's algorithm prioritizes watch time and completion rate, so Scroll-Stop Power and Curiosity Gap receive significantly higher weight. Learn more in our TikTok algorithm analysis.
LinkedIn rewards professional authority and meaningful comments, making Specificity & Proof and Thought Leadership signals more important. See our LinkedIn algorithm guide.
Understanding these differences is critical. A hook that scores 85 on TikTok might score 60 on LinkedIn because the structural elements that drive engagement are fundamentally different. Our guide on Instagram vs TikTok hook differences explores this in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I analyze the same hook for multiple platforms?
Yes. You can run the same hook through different platform configurations to see how scores change. This is useful when repurposing content across platforms.
Which platform has the strictest scoring?
LinkedIn tends to produce lower scores for casual content because the algorithm rewards professional credibility. TikTok is more forgiving of informal hooks but demands stronger scroll-stop power.
