LinkedIn profile writing and optimization

Your LinkedIn profile is working against you.

Most LinkedIn profiles read like a CV summary. Recruiters and hiring managers use LinkedIn differently. We optimize your profile or create it from scratch to get you ranking on recruiter shortlists.

LinkedIn profile writing

LinkedIn is where opportunities find you - if your profile lets them.

LinkedIn is the first place recruiters look before reaching out, and the first place they stop if what they find doesn't match. A well-optimized profile surfaces you in the right searches and tells the right story when people land on it. Our consultants have optimized thousands of profiles across every industry.

Professionals and graduates

Building a profile that gets found by recruiters for the roles you want, and backs up your resume when they look.

Managers moving up

Your profile needs to reflect where you're going, not just where you've been, and speak the language of the level above you.

Career changers

Repositioning for a new industry or role type. Your profile needs to lead with transferable strengths rather than past job titles.

Meticulous attention to detail

Every section, written by a LinkedIn specialist.

01

Headline and banner

The most-read line on LinkedIn. Written to surface you in recruiter searches and show your value straight away, not just your job title.

02

About section

Your professional story, written in first person and in your voice, leading with your value proposition.

03

Experience entries

Each role rewritten around outcomes rather than duties - quantified achievements and searchable keywords.

04

Skills and endorsements

LinkedIn weighs skills heavily in search. We audit yours and add the highest-value skills for your target roles.

05

Education and credentials

Education, certifications, licenses and memberships properly formatted, including small details that affect search ranking.

06

Profile settings and URL

Custom URL, open-to-work settings, featured section, connection message templates and visibility - the mechanics most people overlook.

The All-Star difference

Why All-Star status matters more than most people realize.

LinkedIn prioritizes All-Star profiles in search results. Below All-Star, you're being filtered out before recruiters see your name. Reaching it means completing every section, and completing it well - content quality, keywords and structure all affect how LinkedIn ranks you. Every profile we write is built to reach All-Star and stay there.

Professional headshot included

A professional photo is not optional on LinkedIn.

Profiles with a professional headshot receive up to 21 times more views and 36 times more messages. Your headshot is produced via Headshot Pro: submit a few photos from your phone and receive 15 professionally finished headshots to choose from, for LinkedIn, your resume and any other professional use.

How it works

Four steps to an All-Star profile.

1

Get started

Start with a free review or consultation. Once you're booked in, your consultant reaches out to schedule your call.

2

One-to-one Zoom consultation

A focused 60-minute call about your career history, target roles, personal brand and what you want LinkedIn to do for you.

3

Written and delivered

Every section written from scratch and delivered as a Word document within 3 business days, ready to copy across.

4

Revisions until you're happy

Unlimited revisions until every section reads exactly as you want. Most clients are happy after one or two rounds.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need a new resume to use this service?

No. This service is completely standalone. You don't need a resume written by us, or an existing resume at all - the consultation gives your consultant everything they need to write your profile from scratch.

What does the consultation call involve?

A focused 45-60 minute Zoom call covering your career history, target roles and industries, personal brand and what you want LinkedIn to achieve. Nothing is written until it happens.

How does the headshot work?

You get access to Headshot Pro, submit a selection of photos from your phone or camera - no studio required - and receive 15 professionally finished headshots within a few business days.

How long does the process take?

Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation. Revisions usually take 1-2 business days per round, and most clients finish within 7-10 business days. The headshot runs in parallel.

Will my profile actually reach All-Star status?

Every profile we write is built to meet LinkedIn's All-Star requirements - photo, headline, location, industry, current position with description, education, five or more skills and 50+ connections. Your consultant will flag anything that depends on you, such as connection count.

Can I get my resume done at the same time?

Yes. Many clients have their resume, cover letter and LinkedIn written together so everything matches. See our resume writing service.
