Rewrite your LinkedIn headline to work everywhere it actually appears
Turn a plain job title into a 220-character headline that still makes sense in the compact spaces it shows up in most — search results, comments, and connection requests — not just under your name on the full profile.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
My current title or headline: Senior Product Designer at a Series B startup. Who I help or who I work with: B2B SaaS teams shipping their first enterprise-grade UI. The specific outcome, expertise, or proof point I want represented: Led the redesign that cut onboarding drop-off by a third. Keywords people might search to find someone like me: product design, design systems, B2B SaaS, UX research. LinkedIn's headline field has a 220-character hard limit, but it also renders in places that truncate much shorter — beside every comment you leave, in the connection-request preview, and in search result rows — so it needs to hold up compressed, not just at full length. Give me: 1. A full-length version (180-220 characters) combining role, who I help, and the specific outcome or proof point, using product design, design systems, B2B SaaS, UX research naturally 2. A compact version (under 80 characters) that keeps only the highest-value phrase — the one thing that should survive if everything else gets cut 3. One alternate full-length version with a different structural approach (e.g., leading with the outcome instead of the title) For each, count the exact characters and confirm it's within 220. Avoid generic filler like "passionate," "results-driven," or "thought leader" — every word should be doing search or comprehension work.

Why this works
The headline is the single most-repeated piece of text on LinkedIn — it shows next to every comment, every reaction notification, and every row of a search result, most of which truncate well before the 220-character limit on mobile. A headline optimized only for the full-profile view wastes its highest-frequency exposure, which is why this asks for a compact version that survives truncation on its own, not just a longer sentence typed to the character limit. LinkedIn's People Search also weights headline text for keyword matching, so front-loading the searchable role and audience terms — instead of burying them after a string of adjectives — is what actually helps you get found, not just look polished.
What you get back
Full: "Senior Product Designer helping B2B SaaS teams ship enterprise-grade UI | Design systems, UX research | Cut onboarding drop-off 33% at [Company]" (149 chars) Compact: "Product Designer — B2B SaaS onboarding & design systems" (58 chars)
