LinkedIn headline generator

Grade the headline you have out of 10, then build a better one: up to four headline variants and a first About draft, from who you help and what you help them do.

1. Grade the headline you have

71 / 220 characters

6 / 10

  • Add one number you can stand behind, such as deals closed or years in the niche.
  • Drop "passionate". It describes you, and a buyer cannot check it.
  • Drop "results-driven". It describes you, and a buyer cannot check it.

Our rubric, not LinkedIn's: LinkedIn does not score headlines.

2. Build a better one

A number or a name you can stand behind. Leave it empty rather than invent one.

About section, first draft

Head of Sales, helping B2B SaaS founders book more demos without hiring SDRs.

77 / 2600 characters

This is a first draft. Add one real story in your own words after the paragraph that says what you do.

How to use the result

Grade before you rewrite

Paste the headline you have and fix what the grade lists. Most headlines lose points on the same two things: no audience and no number.

Pick one variant and test it

Use one variant for two weeks and watch your acceptance rate. The headline is what a prospect reads next to your invitation.

Finish the About yourself

The draft gives you the order. Add one real story in your own words, and keep every number one you can prove.

How this tool works

The grader scores a headline out of 10. It gives 2 points each for a length that fits the 220-character field and says something, for naming who you help, for an outcome verb such as book, cut or grow, for a number, and for no filler words. Each filler word, such as "passionate" or "results-driven", costs a point, and more than four sections costs one. The rubric is ours, because LinkedIn does not score headlines.

The generator puts your role, audience, outcome and proof into four fixed headline patterns, and builds a first About draft from the same inputs. It uses templates, not an AI model, and nothing you type leaves your browser. A variant over 220 characters is flagged, not cut.

The 220 and 2,600 character counts are the caps of LinkedIn's own profile form for the headline and About fields; LinkedIn's help pages do not print them. The generator uses templates in your browser, not an AI model, so the proof point is only as true as the one you type.
