LPT - A hack to optimize your linkedin profile

Submitted by blairstones95 t3_z8uzq0 in LifeProTips

I found a Linkedin profile optimization hack that’s new to me, maybe it’s new to some of you as well.

You can create a custom link to your profile instead of the default firstname-lastname-randomcharacters. Instead, you can tailor it more to what your job is to help with SEO when someone is searching for your skillset. For example, you can change it to end with "sarah-parker-software-engineer"

If you know other interesting LinkedIn SEO hacks please share!

So it's not a hack, it's a feature of the website.

That is literally all you can call it.

It's definitely not a sneaky "hack" - and is used extremely commonly.

Yeah, this person is either a LinkedIn recruiter, or works directly for them. Their post history is entirely “OMGZ LonkedOn Hax!”

nope, you can just go to your profile and edit the url! It's not a username.
