LinkedIn Summary Generator

Create a professional LinkedIn summary (About section) that showcases your experience and attracts opportunities.

Why your LinkedIn summary matters

Your summary is prime real estate on your profile. It's one of the first things recruiters, potential clients, and connections read. A strong summary:

  • Tells people what you do and who you help
  • Highlights your key achievements with proof
  • Contains keywords that help you appear in searches
  • Gives readers a reason to connect or reach out

How to use this tool

  1. Describe what you do - Your role, company, industry, and relevant background
  2. Add your achievements - Numbers, results, and specific accomplishments (this makes your summary credible)
  3. Define your audience - Who you work with or want to attract
  4. Generate and customize - Get two versions and personalize them

What makes a great LinkedIn summary

Structure matters

People scan, they don't read. Use:

  • Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max)
  • Line breaks between sections
  • Bullet points for achievements

Be specific

Bad: "I help companies grow" Good: "I help B2B SaaS companies reduce churn by 20-40% through customer success programs"

Include keywords

Think about what someone would search to find you:

  • Job titles you want
  • Skills and tools you use
  • Industry terms

Write for your reader

Answer their question: "What's in it for me if I connect with this person?"

Summary structure that works

  1. Opening hook - Who you are and what you do (1-2 sentences)
  2. Value proposition - What you help people achieve
  3. Proof points - Key achievements with numbers
  4. Skills/expertise - Relevant keywords naturally integrated
  5. Call to action - How to connect or work together

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Too vague - "Passionate professional seeking opportunities"
  • Too long - Walls of text nobody reads
  • Third person - "John is a marketing expert" (use "I")
  • No achievements - Just listing responsibilities
  • Buzzwords - "Synergy", "thought leader", "guru"

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about writing your LinkedIn summary

The LinkedIn summary is the "About" section on your profile. It's your opportunity to tell your professional story in up to 2,600 characters. It appears prominently on your profile and is searchable by recruiters and connections.

LinkedIn allows up to 2,600 characters. We generate two versions: a concise one (~800-1000 characters) for quick reading, and a detailed one (~1500-2000 characters) for those who want more depth. Choose based on your industry and goals.

First person ("I") is recommended. It feels more personal and authentic. Third person ("John is a...") can feel distant and overly formal. Our generator uses first person by default.

Include job titles, skills, industry terms, and tools relevant to your field. These help you appear in LinkedIn searches. Our generator naturally incorporates keywords based on your input.

Update your summary when you change roles, gain significant achievements, or shift your career focus. A good rule is to review it every 3-6 months to ensure it reflects your current goals.

Absolutely! The generated summaries are starting points. Personalize them with specific stories, projects, or details that make you unique. The best summaries have your authentic voice.
