How does the free LinkedIn headline writer work?

The free LinkedIn headline writer scores your current headline from 0 to 100 across five dimensions: audience clarity, outcome focus, readability, credibility, and length. It then generates five rewritten alternatives using different proven angles. Paste your headline, add your role if you want better targeting, and click Score and Rewrite.

Is this LinkedIn headline writer free with no account?

Yes, the LinkedIn headline writer is completely free and requires no account, email, or login. Enter your current headline, hit Score and Rewrite, and your results appear in seconds. You can run as many headlines as you want.

What does a high-scoring LinkedIn headline look like?

High-scoring headlines name a specific audience, describe a measurable outcome, and include a proof point such as a number, company name, or credential. An example of a strong headline is: I help B2B SaaS founders generate 3x pipeline with LinkedIn content. 200+ clients. ex-Salesforce. This pattern scores well across all five dimensions.

What are the five rewrite angles?

The tool generates rewrites in five distinct styles: Results-driven (outcome first), I Help formula (audience and benefit), Authority (credentials lead), Niche (hyper-specific positioning), and Story (personal narrative). Each angle works differently depending on whether you are focused on lead generation, job hunting, or thought leadership.

How long should my LinkedIn headline be?

LinkedIn allows up to 220 characters for your headline. Anything under 60 characters wastes positioning space. The sweet spot is 100 to 180 characters with clearly separated sections using pipes or bullets. The scorer penalizes headlines that are too short or those that exceed LinkedIn's visible truncation point.
