About this tool
Generate LinkedIn headline options combining role, value and proof, checked against the 220-character limit and search truncation.
The LinkedIn Headline Writer builds six headline variants from four inputs — the role you want to be found for, the value you deliver, one piece of proof and your search keywords — and scores each one. Scoring covers the things that actually decide whether a headline works: staying inside LinkedIn's 220-character limit, carrying a number, and keeping the role inside the roughly 70 characters that survive truncation in search results and comment threads. Useful for job seekers, freelancers and anyone whose current headline is just their job title.

Role-first, outcome-first, keyword stack, open-to-work, freelance and helping-audience versions from the same inputs.
Each option shows what a viewer sees before the ellipsis, so the important words never fall off the end.
Character limit, minimum useful length, presence of a number, role visibility and keyword coverage.
The headline field accepts up to 220 characters. Only the opening portion — around 70 characters — is shown in search results, comments and connection requests, so put the role and any number at the front.
Three parts: the role you want to be found for, the value you deliver in plain words, and one piece of proof such as a number, a former employer or something you shipped. Titles alone give recruiters nothing to search on and give humans nothing to remember.
Yes — the headline is indexed by LinkedIn search, so the two or three terms a recruiter would actually type belong there. Keep it to a handful and keep it readable; a headline that is only a list of keywords reads as spam to the human who eventually opens the profile.
Name the target role and the evidence rather than the status. 'Senior Data Analyst seeking analytics roles in Bengaluru | SQL, Power BI | 4 dashboards used by 200+ managers' works far harder than 'Open to opportunities', because it tells the recruiter what to search for and why to click.
