2 Tips to Optimize your LinkedIn Profile for SEO

1. Customize your URL with your name.

My LinkedIn profile URL is https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsealagos/ – by including your name in the URL, you make it more likely for your profile to rank in searches for your name because the search engines do look at keywords in the URL. It is also a much easier URL to remember and looks nicer when you email it to people.

2. Add Custom Anchor Text to Links.

You can have up to 3 links on your profile to other websites, and these links pass SEO authority. If you customize the anchor text on the links, you can get the most out of them because the search engines do look at the text of links to understand more about the content of pages they are linked to.
