Like Google, your profile must be optimized if you want to be found.
Find the right keywords at www.LinkedIn.com/Skills (Related Skills).
Make a list of these keywords (Iâll copy and paste them into a word doc, saving as text only and separating them with a comma.)
Prioritize them.
Test them.
See what other people are doing and continue to update your list.

Add your keywords to:
Professional Headline (120 Characters). Content is more important than keywords here. But if you can fit one or two in, great! This small setion of copy is seem more often than any other part of your profile except your picture and name
Titles(100 Characters) and Descriptions (1000 Characters) in Experience Get your relevant keywords in your Title fields and get that great copy (repurpose and customize website copy) in your descriptions.
Summary Section (2000) Tell your story! Remember the WIIFM. Focus on benefits. Share contact info and links. Format and add special characters.
Interests (1000)
Ninja Trick: Create your profile in a word doc first to catch spelling errors, access word count and format where appropriate
Ninja Trick: Make sure your name, your location and your competition are keywords you use (in Interests)
LinkedIn â with its new membership packages â is showing fewer results to its free members in search results. Usually only a first name and last initial or even just âLinkedIn Memberâ. When LinkedIn is not giving you the results you need consider using:
Google Site Code
Prospector by SalesLoft
eGrabber's Account Researcher
LinkedIn recently released its âSmart Searchâ which is not getting rave reviews. In order to actually find the people (companies and groups) you are looking for:
Use Advanced Search
Use Boolean Search: + () AND OR NOT
Save Your Searches
Boolean Search:
+ or ââ keep the words together
OR when either will do
AND when you are clarifying an audience or industry or niche
NOT to ignore an audience
Example: CEO OR Chief+Executive OR Founder OR Owner AND (Legal OR Lawyer OR Partner) NOT (IT OR Internet+Technology) NOT Fortune+500
Finally â remember to save your search! You will get 3 saved searches (including job searches) with the free membership and 5+ with the premium accounts
Once you have built your network, you must continue to engage with them! LinkedInâs new and time-honored tools help you do that!
I simply love the new Contacts feature on LinkedIn.
If you donât have it yet, apply for it at: Contacts.LinkedIn.com
Contacts allows you to:
Sync all your contacts and invite to connect
Tag Keep Notes and Set Reminders
Expanded Sorting Options
Its really a Mini CRM you can use in concert with your existing customer relationship management tool to keep in touch and top of mind with your customers and prospects!
Tagging allows you to put your contacts into âgroupsâ like Facebook Lists and that allows you to target, manage and communicate with them more effectively!
You get up to 200 tags
You can use multiple tags
You can tag form their profile or from Contacts
Keep notes on your connections, set reminders, note how you met and tag your connections from their profiles.
LinkedIn also keeps an archive of your communications with them.
I keep my meeting notes for all my client and prospect calls in LinkedIn now!
(It also helps me to remember to send them an invite to connect!)
If you have access to a memberâs profile, you have the opportunity to see what you have in common with them. This makes it much easier to reach out to them in an introduction, invitation or message. It also shows that you took a minute to read their profile!
LinkedIn offers some pretty nifty tools and features that most people donât even know about, or donât know how to use, or donât use correctly. These are the:
Connectionâs Connection Search
âIn Commonâ feature
Introduction Tool
