Who this is for
Job seekers and personal-brand builders whose LinkedIn headline says "Founder | CEO | Builder" and gets 0 search impressions.
The problem this solves
LinkedIn headline drives 80% of recruiter discovery. Most are role-only ("Founder") — invisible in keyword search. The tester surfaces 3 dimensions (positioning / keywords / character usage) and rewrites for the weakest one.
LinkedIn profiles with structured headlines (role + specialization + outcome target) earn approximately 4-7× more inbound message replies than profiles with generic headlines like "Founder & CEO."

Frequently asked
What's the LinkedIn headline character limit?
220 characters (recently increased from 120). The first 70 chars are most important — they show in mobile previews and search.
What's the best LinkedIn headline structure?
[Role] · [Specialization] · [Outcome target]. Example: "B2B SaaS Founder · Building Clipflow · Helping podcasters repurpose 1 recording into 30 posts/month."
Should my headline include keywords?
Yes, 2-3 niche keywords woven naturally. LinkedIn search uses headline text as a primary ranking factor for "[role] [skill]" queries.
Should I list company name in the headline?
Optional. If your company name is recognized: yes. If unknown: lead with what you do instead. Headline real estate is precious.
How often should I update my LinkedIn headline?
Quarterly minimum. After major milestones (new product launch, funding, audience milestone). Headlines decay — a 2024 headline reads stale in 2026.
