Most common questions used to investigate
Have you chosen a professional picture for your profile?
Do you have a background photo?
Do you have a LinkedIn summary?
Have you synced your LinkedIn profile with your email address book?
Have you listed your relevant skills?
Have you spotlighted the services you offer?
Have you taken any skills assessments?
Do you add comments to your shares?
Do you follow the relevant influencers for your industry?
Common conclusions
Make sure the picture is recent and looks like you, and that your face takes up around 60% of it (long-distance shots don’t stand out), wear what you would like to wear to work, and smile with your eyes.
Add a background photo, the right background photo helps your page stand out, engage attention and stay memorable.
Your summary is your chance to tell your own story – so don’t just use it to list your skills or the job titles you’ve had. But try to bring to life why those skills matter – and the difference they can make to the people you work with.
Connect your LinkedIn to your email address book to expand your network, and follow up meetings and conversations with LinkedIn connection requests.
Scroll through the list of skills and identify those that are relevant to you. Doing so helps to substantiate the description in your Headline and Summary, and provides a platform for others to endorse you.
Fill out the Services section of your profile, it can boost your visibility in search results.
Take skills assessments to demonstrate the level of your skills, and display a Verified Skills badge on your profile. Displaying proof of your abilities strengthens your personal brand.
Add comments to your shares, it gives you greater prominence within the feed. It’s also more likely to draw additional comments, which then raise your profile across LinkedIn.
Follow relevant influencers on LinkedIn to get a range of interesting content in your feed, it also helps to give context to your LinkedIn profile.
Getting your LinkedIn profile working for you doesn’t have to take up hours of your time, just share and comment content actively to help establish your expertise and thought-leadership credentials on LinkedIn.
