What the Checker Looks At

Headline

Does it say what you do and who it's for, or is it just a job title?

About section

Hook, credibility, and a clear ask, or a wall of text people skip?

Experience

Outcomes and numbers, or a list of responsibilities?

Skills

Whether your skills match how you want to be found in search.

Red flags

The small details that quietly make recruiters and clients move on.

Overall positioning

Whether the whole profile tells one clear, convincing story.

The 10-Point LinkedIn Profile Checklist

Want to check your profile by hand first? These are the ten checks that matter most. The AI checker runs all of them (and a few dozen more) in about a minute.

  1. 1

    Headline says what you do

    Not just a job title. It should name what you do, who it's for, and why it matters.

  2. 2

    Photo is recent and clear

    A well-lit headshot where your face fills about 60% of the frame. No group crops.

  3. 3

    Banner isn't the default blue

    The banner is free ad space. Use it for your value proposition, product, or proof.

  4. 4

    About hooks in the first two lines

    That's all LinkedIn shows before the fold. If those lines are generic, nobody clicks "see more".

  5. 5

    About ends with a clear ask

    Tell readers what to do next: message you, book a call, follow, or apply.

  6. 6

    Experience shows outcomes

    Numbers beat duties. "Grew pipeline 40%" beats "responsible for pipeline growth".

  7. 7

    Top skills match your goal

    Your pinned skills should match the searches you want to appear in, not your distant past.

  8. 8

    Featured section has proof

    Pin your best work: a post that performed, a case study, a talk, a press mention.

  9. 9

    Custom URL is set

    linkedin.com/in/yourname looks intentional on a resume or email signature. The default hash doesn't.

  10. 10

    Contact settings match your goal

    Open-to-work, creator mode, and contact info should reflect what you actually want next.
