2nd Party: Social Activity

They're Checking You Out — Know Who

Second-party signals reveal relationship activity — who's viewing your profiles, engaging with your content, and interacting with your brand on social channels. These aren't just vanity metrics. They're buying signals.

What are 2nd Party Social Activity Signals?

2nd party signals come from relationship and engagement channels
LinkedIn profile views
Who's looking at your team's profiles
Content engagement
Likes, comments, shares on your posts
Connection activity
Connection requests and acceptances
Social interactions
Mentions, tags, and replies
Why social signals matter
They indicate awareness and interest
They happen before website visits
They show who's researching your people, not just your product
They're often the first signal in a buying journey
Best for
SDRs wanting to warm up cold outreach
AEs needing engagement context before calls
Marketing measuring brand awareness impact

Engagement Happens Before They Visit Your Site

The typical buying journey
01 Prospect hears about your company
02 Looks up team members on LinkedIn
03 Views content your team posts
04 Maybe engages (like, comment)
05 Eventually visits website
06 Only THEN do most tools notice them
The gap
Steps 1-4 are invisible to traditional tools
By step 5, they're already mid-research
You miss the early signals
Cold outreach to someone who's been engaging isn't cold — but you don't know they've been engaging
Warmly captures relationship signals alongside everything else.

Who's Looking at Your Team

When someone views a LinkedIn profile, it's often buying-related
Researching before a call
Evaluating the team
Looking for the right person to contact
Checking credentials before responding
Warmly captures
Which company viewed
Which of your team members
Frequency (one-time vs repeated)
Combined with other signals (also on website? intent topics?)
Use case:
"Noticed you viewed my profile last week. I see your team is also researching [topic] — happy to chat about how we help with that."

Likes and Comments Are Intent Signals

Content engagement reveals interest:
What Warmly tracks

Multiple engagements = active research
Engagement + website visit = hot

New Connections = New Opportunities

Connection requests and activity signal relationship building:
What Warmly tracks
Connection requests sent to your team
Connection requests accepted
New connections from target accounts
Connection timing (after content? after email?)

A connection request is a micro-commitment
Connected prospects see your content
Easier to reach via LinkedIn messages
Signals relationship-building intent

Social + Web + Third-Party = Full Picture

Social signals become powerful when combined:
Social + Website
Engaged with content → visited site → chatted = very hot
Viewed profile → visited pricing = active evaluation
Social + Third-party
Content engagement + Bombora topic surge = researching your category
Profile views + job posting = building team that needs your solution
Social + Outbound
Engaged with content → send personalized outreach
"Saw you liked our post on X — here's more on that topic"

Don't Just Track — Act

Social signals can trigger:
Alerts
Key account engaged with content → Slack notification
Decision-maker viewed profile → Alert to AE
Outbound
Engagement triggers personalized sequence
Reference the specific content they engaged with
Ad targeting
Engagers synced to LinkedIn audience
Content-specific retargeting
Scoring

Combined with other signals for prioritization
