Why your headline matters more than any other field

Your headline appears everywhere on LinkedIn: search results, connection requests, comments you leave, and invitations. It's 220 characters of prime real estate. And most people waste it on a bare job title.

A headline formula that works

Who you help + how you help + proof. For example:

“Helping B2B SaaS teams cut churn by 30% | Customer Success Lead | Speaker”

Frequently asked questions

How long can a LinkedIn headline be?

220 characters. Anything longer is cut off. This tool counts characters live so you stay within the limit.

Should I use bold text in my LinkedIn headline?

Sparingly, and never on keywords you want to be searchable. LinkedIn search cannot match styled characters to normal search terms.

What makes a good LinkedIn headline?

A clear statement of who you help and how, separated into scannable segments, with searchable keywords in plain text.
