How to Write a LinkedIn Summary That Converts

Your LinkedIn About section (formerly Summary) is your opportunity to tell your story in your own words. Unlike your headline and experience, this is where you can showcase personality, share your mission, and connect with visitors on a human level.

LinkedIn Summary Structure

Hook (First 2-3 lines): The first 270 characters show before "see more" - make them count. Start with a compelling statement, question, or bold claim.

Your Story: Share your journey, what drives you, and how you got to where you are. This humanizes your profile.

Value Proposition: Clearly explain what you do and who you help. Include specific outcomes and results.

Proof Points: Add credibility with metrics, client names (if allowed), certifications, or notable achievements.

Call to Action: End with a clear next step - whether it's connecting, following, or reaching out.

Summary Best Practices

  • Write in first person: "I help..." is more personal than "John helps..."
  • Use short paragraphs: Keep paragraphs to 2-3 sentences for easy scanning.
  • Include keywords naturally: Help recruiters and prospects find you in search.
  • Show personality: Let your unique voice come through.
  • Focus on outcomes: Describe the transformation you provide, not just tasks.
  • Add white space: Break up text with line breaks for readability.

Summary Formulas by Goal

For attracting clients: Open with the problem you solve, share how you solve it differently, prove it with results, and invite connection.

For job seeking: Lead with your passion and expertise, highlight relevant accomplishments, showcase adaptability, and express what you're looking for.

For thought leadership: Start with your unique perspective, share your background and credibility, outline topics you cover, and invite engagement.

What to Avoid

  • Writing in third person (sounds impersonal)
  • Starting with "I am a..." (boring and expected)
  • Listing skills without context (that's what the Skills section is for)
  • Using jargon and buzzwords
  • Leaving it blank (missed opportunity)
  • Making it all about you without addressing visitor needs
