10 sections, as written by the authorLinkedIn Profile Optimizer
Audit the nine components of a LinkedIn profile (photo, banner, headline, About, Featured, Experience, Skills, custom URL, recommendations) against 2026 best practices, then rewrite each section that needs it. Optimized profiles get ~3.9x more views and convert visitors 3-5x better than default/resume-style profiles.
When to use
- User pastes their LinkedIn profile URL and asks for an audit
- User wants to rewrite their headline, About section, or Featured section
- User is launching a content strategy and needs the profile to match
- Any of: "review my profile", "fix my headline", "optimize bio", "profile audit", "LinkedIn optimization"
Input
- Profile URL (or screenshots of sections)
- Goal: clients / job seeking / authority — Featured and CTA vary by goal
- Optional: draft content to grade against the existing profile
Output
A structured audit + rewrite in this shape:
- Scorecard (9 sections, pass/fail/needs-work)
- Priority fixes (ranked by impact)
- Before → After rewrites for each failing section
- Expected uplift (based on benchmark data)
Steps
- Intake. Collect profile state + goal. Flag missing sections.
- Score each of 9 sections against the checklist (see references/).
- Rewrite headline using
[What You Do] | [Who You Help] [Achieve What Result]— fit all 220 chars. - Rebuild About with 7-step structure; verify first 265-275 chars hook before "see more".
- Curate Featured (3 strong items) matched to the goal:
- Clients: lead magnet + case study with results + calendar link
- Job seeking: portfolio + best work samples + top-performing post
- Authority: best content + media/podcast features + newsletter signup
- Rewrite Experience bullets as
action verb + specific metric. Add 5+ skills per role. Pin top 3 skills. - Claim custom URL (linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname, not the
-123abc456default). - Draft recommendation requests with specifics ("about [project/skill]") — don't send LinkedIn's generic template.
- Deliver before/after diff + expected uplift (3.9x views, 3-5x conversion, 71% more likely to land interviews).

Hard rules
Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md §Voice rules. Additional skill-specific rules:
- First person ("I help...") never third person ("Jane is a passionate...")
- Never "passionate thought leader" / "driven professional" / "results-oriented" (profile-specific AI vocab)
- Avoid wall-of-text. Use line breaks in About section
- 80% of users leave Featured empty. Filling it is a free edge
