Most LinkedIn profiles are resumes. They list what someone has done. The good ones are landing pages. They make a specific promise to a specific person and tell them what to do next.
These 17 prompts rebuild your profile as a conversion asset, section by section.
35. The headline rewrite (positioning version)
What it does: Rewrites your LinkedIn headline (the 220-char tagline under your name) using a positioning approach: who you help, what you help them do, and what makes you different.
The prompt:
`You're a LinkedIn positioning specialist. I want you to rewrite my headline using a positioning structure.
About me:
- My current headline: "[paste current]"
- My role: [your title]
- My company: [if relevant]
- My ICP: [the people I help, in one specific line]
- The outcome I help them get: [the result, with specifics if you have them]
- What makes me different from others doing this: [your edge, in one line]
Constraints:
- 220 characters absolute max.
- Lead with the ICP and outcome. "Helping [ICP] get [outcome]" is the spine; everything else hangs off it.
- Avoid "passionate about," "helping companies grow," "thought leader," and "expert in." All flag generic.
- Use a "by [specific method]" or "without [specific pain]" tag at the end if it adds clarity.
- Sentence case unless capitalizing is helping a key term stand out.
- No emojis unless they're earning their place. Most don't.
Output:
- Five different headline options, each under 220 characters, each with a different angle
- The character count for each
- My pick of the strongest one and why`
Drop this in when: Your current headline is generic ("Founder | Helping companies scale"). Specificity is what makes profile visitors stop and read.
36. The headline rewrite (problem-solution version)
What it does: Alternative headline approach focused on naming the problem your audience has, then signaling that you solve it. Higher click-through from cold profile views.
The prompt:
`You're rewriting my LinkedIn headline using a problem-first structure. The goal: anyone in my ICP who reads it should think "that's me" within 2 seconds.
About me:
- My current headline: "[paste]"
- My ICP: [be specific]
- The exact problem they're stuck on: [the real one. "low conversion" is bad. "your DMs get left on read" is good.]
- What I do to fix it: [in one line]
- Optional credibility marker: [number, name, or proof]
Constraints:
- 220 characters max.
- Open with the problem stated in the ICP's actual words.
- The fix is the back half of the headline.
- Avoid abstract benefit language like "scale," "grow," "succeed."
- Sentence case. No emojis unless one is genuinely earning its place.
- The headline should fail the "could anyone in my industry say this?" test. If yes, rewrite.
Output:
- Five problem-led headline options
- The character count for each
- My pick and why`
Drop this in when: You sell into a clear, narrow pain. Problem-led headlines outperform when the problem is sharp and the audience is small.
37. The full About section rewrite
What it does: Rewrites the entire About section as a story-driven landing page. Most About sections are resumes or vague brand statements. This one converts profile visitors into DMs.
The prompt:
`You're rewriting my LinkedIn About section. Treat it like a landing page, not a resume.
About me:
- My role: [title]
- My ICP: [the people I help]
- The specific outcome I help them get: [results-focused]
- The story of how I got here: [3-5 lines on the path. include the messy parts.]
- One credibility marker (numbers, names, proof): [be specific]
- What I want a reader to do at the end: [DM me, book a call, follow, comment a keyword]
Voice:
- Direct, slightly sassy, no corporate language
- First person
- Sentence case
- Short sentences
Constraints:
- Open with a hook line that names a specific moment, observation, or stat. Not "I'm a passionate marketer with 10 years of experience."
- Use line breaks aggressively. LinkedIn truncates after 3 lines, so the first 3 lines have to do the heaviest lifting.
- Include the story (not just the credentials). Story is what gets people to read past the truncate.
- Numbers and specifics where possible. "47 SaaS founders" beats "many SaaS founders."
- End with a clear CTA. One. Not a list of three.
- No "feel free to reach out." No "always happy to chat." No "I'm a self-described [X]."
- No em dashes. No hashtags. No emojis (unless one earns its place at the CTA).
- Length: 1300-1800 characters. Under, you're leaving conversion on the table. Over, you're losing the reader.
Output:
- The full About section, formatted with the line breaks as they should appear on the live profile
- The first 3 lines as a standalone (since that's what visitors see before clicking "see more")
- The CTA line as a standalone (in case I want to swap it later)`
Drop this in when: You're treating your profile as part of your funnel. If you're not, this exercise won't matter.
