Summary

Third client-finder run (overnight 06-05 → 06-06). Scaled the launch-moment strategy to the full target of 10 qualified prospects: 10 rapport comments posted from Rahil's account and 9 connection requests sent with the Solorank pitch (SEO + GEO/AEO, early-stage pricing, refund if agreed KPIs missed, free AI visibility audit). The 10th prospect (Sophia Belser) already had a pending invite, so only the comment was added. No LinkedIn friction encountered at this volume.

Strategy used

Reused proven launch-moment queries plus four new productive families: "we rebuilt our website" / "rebuilt our entire website" (past-month) → founder-voice posts (Cloodot, XongoLab); "redesigned/revamped website is live" → celebrity-speaker segment (Sally Gunnell); "new look, new website" → NjiaPay; "website is officially live" → Construction Robotics.
Unproductive this run: "just launched my new website" (student portfolios only), "our new digital home" (NGOs), keyword+date for tiny accounts. "rebrand is live" still off-topic.
Comment angle per segment: AI engines (ChatGPT/Perplexity) now answer buyer questions in each prospect's category; a fresh site is the right moment to structure content so AI cites them. No pitch in comments, pitch only in the connect note.
Connect notes ~261-273 chars, all under the 300 limit, all sent via the Shadow DOM #custom-message JS setter (worked 9/9).

Learnings and improvements for next run

Search-list "2K followers" rounds UP — confirmed again (Himanshu 1,634, like COBE 1,981). Always open the profile and read the exact count before engaging.
NEW RULE that worked: if the person is under 2,000 but their company page clears 2,000 and they are the founder/decision maker, the business qualifies (XongoLab: personal 1.6K, company 6K). Logged as company-page qualification.
Execs surface in company-post comment threads — Michael Keenan (CCO, Trylon) was found congratulating his own marketing team. Check comments on company posts before doing a people search.
Exact-phrase content search (quoted snippet of the post) is the reliable way to re-locate a specific post for commenting; keyword+filter often misses it.
Volume test passed: 10 comments + 9 invites in one run with no LinkedIn friction (Run 2 worried at 5+4). Keep ≤10/10 per run for safety.
Profile "Connect" is usually hidden under the More (…) menu for 2nd/3rd degree; click More → Connect → Add a note.
After clicking Send, the Pending state sometimes only shows after a page reload — reload before assuming failure (avoided a double-send twice).
