Why your headline decides whether recruiters find you

It's the most-weighted field

LinkedIn's recruiter search ranks headline keywords above almost every other profile field. A headline missing your target terms is invisible in the searches that matter.

It's the whole result snippet

In search results, comments, and connection requests, recruiters see your name, photo and headline only — nothing else. That's your entire pitch.

Most headlines under-perform

"Software Engineer at Company" or "Passionate marketer" scores low here every time — no named skills, no proof, nothing for search to match on.

Frequently asked

Is the LinkedIn Headline Analyzer really free?

Yes. There's no email gate, no signup, and no payment — paste a headline and get your score and fixes instantly. It's a standalone free tool, separate from Standout's paid $1 full-profile audit.

How is the score calculated?

The analyzer checks the same signals LinkedIn's recruiter search and human recruiters both reward: enough characters used, a scannable multi-part structure, named skills/tools/keywords, quantified proof (numbers), and the absence of generic filler phrases like "passionate" or "results-driven."

Does this analyze my whole LinkedIn profile?

No — this tool only scores the headline text you paste in, and it runs entirely in your browser. For a full 0–100 visibility score across your headline, About section, and experience bullets, use the free profile score below.

Do you store or see the headline I paste in?

No. Scoring runs client-side in your browser — nothing you type into this tool is sent to a server.
