What makes a good LinkedIn headline?
A good LinkedIn headline says who you help and what you help them do, in words your buyers use. It shows under your name everywhere: in search, in comments, in connection requests and in every message you send. Your job title alone tells people what you are; a strong headline tells them why they should talk to you.
How to write your headline
- Name who you help. “Marketing agencies” beats “businesses”.
- Say the result. Start with a verb your buyer cares about: get paid, hire, grow, win.
- Add one piece of proof. A number of clients, a past employer or a book.
- Front-load it. Search results and comments show only the start, so put the point first.
- Skip the buzzwords. “Passionate”, “results-driven” and “guru” say nothing.

LinkedIn headline generator FAQs
Is the headline generator free?
Yes. Generate as many headlines as you like without signing up.
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
About 220 characters. That is the limit most guides report; LinkedIn’s help pages don’t publish a number. People see only the start of it in search results and comments, so lead with who you help and what you do for them.
Should my headline be my job title?
Only if your title already says who you help. Most titles don’t, so add your audience and the result you deliver.
