What makes a good LinkedIn headline?
Your LinkedIn headline is the line under your name. It shows up on your profile, in search results, next to every comment you leave and on every connection request you send. Most people see it before they ever see your profile, so it does more work than any other line you write.
A good headline answers three questions fast: what you do, who you do it for, and why it matters to them. Job titles alone ("Founder at Acme") waste the space. Clear value ("I help SaaS founders turn LinkedIn posts into sales calls") gives people a reason to click.

- Add proof only if it's real and you're happy to explain it.
- Skip buzzwords like "passionate" and "guru".
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
LinkedIn allows up to 220 characters. Use the space, but don't stuff it. One clear promise and a few keywords beat a wall of titles.
