LinkedIn headline FAQ

What is a LinkedIn headline?

A LinkedIn headline is the short line below your name that explains what you do, who you help, and why someone should keep reading your profile.

How long can a LinkedIn headline be?

LinkedIn headlines can be up to 220 characters. Strong headlines usually use the space for role clarity, searchable keywords, and one proof or outcome phrase.

What should I put in my LinkedIn headline?

Include your current role, the audience you serve, two or three searchable skills, and a concrete outcome or proof point that makes the claim believable.

Should my LinkedIn headline be creative or keyword-focused?

For most professionals, use keywords first and creativity second. Recruiters and buyers search by role, skill, and domain before they notice clever wording.
