LinkedIn profile grader
Paste your headline, About section and who you want to attract. You get a score out of 100, what is working, and the five fixes that will matter most. Runs in your browser.
The short answer
A LinkedIn profile audit checks whether a stranger can tell, in five seconds, who you help, why you are credible and what to do next. This grader scores your headline and About section on clarity, audience fit, proof, voice and call to action, then lists specific fixes in priority order.
What the grader checks
| Area | What good looks like | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Clarity | A stranger understands what you do in one read | 25 |
| Audience fit | Your ideal client, investor or patient sees themselves in it | 25 |
| Proof | Specific numbers, names, credentials | 20 |
| Voice | Sounds like a person, no buzzwords | 15 |
| Call to action | A clear reason and way to contact you | 15 |
Why profile and posts must match
LinkedIn's ranking system in 2026 compares what you post about with what your profile says you know. If your headline says "CFO" and your posts are about running marathons, both get less distribution. Fixing the profile first is the cheapest reach gain most people can get.
What the grader cannot see
It only reads the text you paste. It cannot judge your photo, banner, Featured section, recommendations or activity. Our free teardown call covers all of those, and our profile optimization service fixes them.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to give my LinkedIn login or URL?
No. You paste your headline and About text. We never ask for your LinkedIn password.
Is my profile text stored?
No. The grader runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to us or anyone else.
What is a good LinkedIn profile score?
Above 80 means the basics are strong and posting consistently will pay off. Between 60 and 80 usually means unclear audience or missing proof. Under 60 means visitors are probably leaving without understanding what you do.
