Tips for a Great LinkedIn Headline
- Tip 1
Lead with what people search for
Recruiters search by job title and skill. Put your real title and your strongest keyword in the first few words.
- Tip 2
Say who you help and how
A headline that names an audience and an outcome tells people why to read your profile, not just what your job is called.
- Tip 3
Use separators to make it scannable
Pipes and arrows break a headline into short chunks. Two or three chunks are easier to read than one long sentence.
- Tip 4
Stay inside 220 characters
LinkedIn cuts off anything longer, and many views show only the first part. Keep the important words up front.
- Tip 5
Match your headline to your photo
Your photo and headline appear together in search results, comments and messages. Make sure both say the same thing about you.
Pair your new headline with a professional photo
A strong headline gets the click. A professional photo helps your profile make a good first impression. Create yours with AI from selfies, from $1.99.
