Generate your LinkedIn headline. Four angles, one limit.

The headline is the most-seen line you write

It appears under your name on every post, comment, search result, and connection request. A bare job title wastes it. A headline that says who you help, proves it, and carries searchable keywords works for you around the clock. This generator writes four to that standard so you can pick the angle that fits.

The four shapes it writes, and who each one is for

The options are not four wordings of one idea. They are four different bets about what a stranger needs from you in the second they spend reading.

• Role and who you help. The safest one. Best when your job title is recognisable and your audience is not obvious from it.

• Outcome or proof led. Opens on a number or a result. Best when you sell something, because it answers the only question a buyer has.

• Keyword rich. Built to be found rather than to be admired. Best when you want recruiters and searchers to land on you.

• Punchy positioning. One line, no scaffolding. Best when you already have an audience and need to be memorable rather than explanatory.

What a strong headline is actually made of

Our analyzer scores six things, and the weights are worth knowing because they tell you where the marks are. Saying clearly what you do is worth a quarter of the score on its own. Being specific rather than vague is worth a fifth. Using the space, showing a proof point, and naming who you help are worth fifteen each. Searchable keywords carry the last ten.

• Says what you do, 25 points. The first thing anyone scans for.

• Specific, not vague, 20 points. Buzzwords cost you here.

• Uses the 220 characters, 15 points. Most people use a third of the field.

• Shows a proof point, 15 points. A number, a result, a name.

• States who you help, 15 points. The payoff, not the title.

• Searchable keywords, 10 points. What people type to find someone like you.
