What the scorer checks
A hook before the fold
Only your first ~265 characters show before LinkedIn's "…see more." Lead with your target role and one proof point — a warm-up sentence costs you every skim.
Keywords recruiters search
Named skills, tools, and certifications — the exact terms LinkedIn Recruiter filters on. "Python, SQL, Tableau" gets found; "passionate problem-solver" never does.
Proof and structure
Numbers turn claims into evidence, and 3–5 short paragraphs survive a 2-second skim. Filler like "results-driven" and third-person bios both cost you points.
Frequently asked
Is this About section scorer really free?
Yes — no email, no signup, no payment. Paste your LinkedIn About section and the score, the signals, and your first fix appear instantly. It's the fastest way to try Standout before the $1 full-profile review.
What does the score measure?
Eight signals LinkedIn's recruiter search and human recruiters both reward: length (of your 2,600 characters), a first-two-lines hook that survives the "…see more" fold, named skills/tools/keywords, quantified proof (numbers), short-paragraph structure, the absence of filler phrases like "results-driven", first-person voice, and a call-to-action close.
Is the About section I paste stored or sent anywhere?
No. Scoring runs entirely in your browser — there is no server call, so nothing you paste is uploaded, saved, or seen by anyone.
How long should a LinkedIn About section be?
Long enough to be searchable — 400+ characters of the 2,600 LinkedIn gives you — and front-loaded: only the first ~265 characters show before the "…see more" fold, so your role and one proof point belong in the first two lines.
