The Problem
Over the past few years, LinkedIn has become the go-to platform for professionals and creators. But with this growth came a wave of inauthenticity. We’ve all seen it - profiles that look polished but feel off, posts that get massive engagement but say little, and comment sections filled with irrelevant or suspicious responses.
As LinkedIn expanded, so did the problems. In 2023 alone, LinkedIn deleted over 2 million fake accounts.

A large number of these accounts are connected to engagement pods or use AI-generated comments. And it’s not just bad for users — brands have been losing real money, investing in creators who aren’t what they seem.
The Solution
At Favikon, we decided it was time to do something about it.
Today, we’re proud to introduce the LinkedIn Authenticity Score - the first AI-powered system designed to measure how authentic a creator really is.
Why We Built It
The idea is simple: brands deserve better.
When you partner with a creator, you want someone real. Someone with expertise. Someone who has built an engaged audience the right way. Not someone gaming the system with bots, shallow content, or growth hacks.
Our new Authenticity Score looks at everything that matters:
- Follower growth patterns
- Post content depth
- Comment quality (no more bots or AI gibberish)
- True expertise alignment
- Signs of engagement pods or manipulation
We break it down, analyze it with AI, and turn it into one clear score - easy to understand, easy to act on.

Built for a Real Problem
This isn’t a shiny feature for the sake of it. It’s something our clients kept asking for. Brands were tired of burning money on creators who didn’t deliver. They wanted a simple, reliable way to filter the noise and work with real professionals.
See It in Action
Want to check it out? You can:
- Check your own score if you’re a creator with the creator plan.
- Book a 15-minute demo with our team.
- Or start right away for $99/month - a small investment that can save you thousands.
We believe the Authenticity Score will change how brands approach creator partnerships on LinkedIn. It’s a step toward bringing more trust and transparency into the space - and we’re just getting started.
I’d love to hear what you think. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
See you soon,
