What It Is

Comment Scraper allows you to extract users who have engaged with specific LinkedIn posts by commenting.

These are highly engaged prospects who have publicly shown interest in a topic.

Why It's Powerful

People who comment on posts are:

  • Highly engaged with the topic

  • Active on LinkedIn (more likely to see and respond to your messages)

  • Showing buying signals if the post is related to your offer

  • Already warmed up to the conversation topic

If a post is related to your product or service and people are engaging with it, they may also be interested in your offer.

How to Use It

  1. Find Relevant Posts:

    • Browse your LinkedIn feed for posts related to your niche

    • Search for competitor posts

    • Look for lead magnets, industry discussions, or problem-solving posts

    • Find posts from influencers in your target industry

    • Check posts with high engagement (100+ comments is ideal)

2. Identify the Right Posts to Scrape:

  • Posts asking questions related to your solution

  • Posts about pain points your product solves

  • Lead magnet posts where people comment to receive resources

  • Competitor content getting high engagement

  • Industry trend discussions

  1. Extract the Commenters:

    • Open the LinkedIn post

    • Copy the post URL

    • Go to Lead Finder in Conversifi

    • Select "Comment Scraper" as your search type

    • Enter a descriptive Search Name

    • Paste the post URL into the Search URL field

    • Click "Start Search"

Best Practices for Comment Scraping

  • Target posts from your competitors (people already interested in similar solutions)

  • Look for posts where people are asking for recommendations or solutions

  • Find posts offering free resources where commenters show interest

  • Scrape posts from industry influencers and thought leaders

  • Focus on recent posts (within the last 30 days) for the most active prospects

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: You sell marketing automation software. Find a post from a marketing influencer asking "What tools do you use for email automation?" Scrape the commenters - they're actively looking for solutions.

Scenario 2: You offer LinkedIn training. A competitor posts a free guide and asks people to comment "interested" to receive it. Scrape those commenters - they've raised their hand as qualified leads.

Scenario 3: You sell to HR professionals. Find a post discussing "biggest HR challenges in 2025" with 200+ comments. Scrape the commenters - they're engaged HR professionals discussing pain points you can solve.
