LinkedIn profile checklist

Ten checks to make your profile clearer, more credible, and easier to act on.

01

Profile photo

Use a recent, clear photo where your face is easy to recognize, even at thumbnail size.

02

Banner

Reinforce who you help, the outcome you create, or the proof that makes your positioning believable.

03

Headline

Go beyond a job title. Name your audience, your value, and the result you help create.

04

About section

Open with the client’s problem, explain how you help, show proof, and end with a clear next step.

05

Featured section

Show a result, testimonial, case study, lead magnet, or service page that supports your positioning.

06

Experience

Describe outcomes and impact instead of listing responsibilities. Keep your current role aligned with your offer.

07

Credibility

Add relevant recommendations, skills, client proof, certifications, and concrete examples of your work.

08

Content activity

Make sure your recent posts reinforce the expertise and perspective you want to be known for.

09

Conversion path

Give an interested visitor an obvious way to book, message, download, or learn more.

10

Contact details

Check that your email, website, booking link, and other details are current and easy to find.
