The LinkedIn headline limit
A LinkedIn headline can be up to 220 characters. It shows under your name on your profile, next to every post and comment you make, and in LinkedIn search, where it is one of the main fields matched.
How to write a LinkedIn headline
Most places cut the headline after the first line or so, so put the role and the outcome you deliver first. Words people would search for to find someone like you belong here more than slogans.
