Tips

What makes a great LinkedIn headline?

Lead with value, not your title

"Helping SaaS founders generate 3x more LinkedIn pipeline" beats "CEO at Acme Corp" every time.

Include searchable keywords

LinkedIn search weights headlines heavily. Include terms your ideal clients would search for — your speciality, industry, or the problem you solve.

Keep it under 120 characters

LinkedIn truncates headlines in search results after 120 characters. Front-load the most important information.

Add a proof point

Numbers and specifics build credibility. "Helped 200+ B2B teams" or "15 years in fintech" instantly signals authority.

FAQ

What makes a good LinkedIn headline?

A strong LinkedIn headline clearly states your role, the value you deliver, and who you help. It should be 120 characters or fewer and include keywords your target audience searches for.

How long should a LinkedIn headline be?

LinkedIn headlines can be up to 220 characters, but only the first 120 characters show in search results. Keep the most important information within the first 120 characters.

Should I include keywords in my LinkedIn headline?

Yes. LinkedIn search heavily weights headline keywords. Include terms your ideal clients or recruiters would search for, such as your role, industry, or speciality.
