    01 —How it works
    Step 01

    Describe your positioning

    Fill in your role, skills, and target audience — or paste your existing headline or About section. Either works.

    Claude analyses your input and produces 5 headlines, each with a distinct strategic angle — from authority to curiosity to outcome-led.

    Step 03

    Copy and test

    Copy the headline that fits, update your LinkedIn profile, and test it for 2–4 weeks. Then run again with what you've learned.

    02 —Common questions
    How long should a LinkedIn headline be?

    LinkedIn allows up to 220 characters. In search results and on mobile, only the first 100–120 characters show without expanding. Lead with your strongest signal, and all generated headlines stay within the limit.

    What makes a good headline for engineers and technical leaders?

    Specificity. Name real domains, technologies, and outcomes. "Platform engineer who scaled payments to 10M TPS" builds more trust than any superlative. Avoid: passionate, guru, ninja, rockstar, thought leader.

    Should I use my job title as my headline?

    It's a starting point, not a strategy. LinkedIn uses your headline for keyword matching, so packing in your domain, skills, and value proposition converts far better than a bare title. Think of it as a one-line positioning statement.

    How often should I update my headline?

    Update whenever your positioning shifts — new role, new audience, new career goal. Beyond that, testing different angles every 3–6 months helps you learn what resonates with your target audience.

    Is this tool really free?

    Yes. No signup, no credit card, no limit on how many times you generate. LinkedIQ's paid product is a full brand intelligence platform — this tool is our way of giving something useful upfront.

    Does LinkedIn see what I generate here?

    No. Your input goes to our server and to Claude (Anthropic's AI) to generate the headlines, then it's discarded. We don't store your profile data or generated headlines.
