Frequently asked questions

Why is my LinkedIn headline so important?

Your headline is the first thing people see on your profile. It appears in search results, connection requests, and comments. A good headline can increase your profile views by 300% and attract more opportunities.

What's the ideal length for a LinkedIn headline?

The ideal length is 40-60 characters. LinkedIn allows up to 220 characters, but shorter headlines are more impactful and easier to scan. Focus on your key value proposition.

Should I include keywords in my headline?

Absolutely! Keywords help LinkedIn's algorithm surface your profile in searches. Include 2-3 professional terms your target audience would search for (founder, consultant, B2B, SaaS, coach, etc.).

How often should I update my LinkedIn headline?

Update your headline whenever your positioning or target audience changes. Test different versions every 2-3 months and track which gets more profile views and connection requests.
