Expandi sends connection requests from your own LinkedIn account to the people you pick, so your headline is the first thing they see. You decide who gets one and how many go out each day.
How to write a LinkedIn headline
Your headline is the line under your name. It shows on every connection request you send, in search results and next to every comment you leave, and usually only the first 60 to 70 characters fit.
Put the value first
Who you help and what changes for them belongs in the first 60 characters, before LinkedIn cuts the line.
Add one proof point
A number, a type of client or a result you can stand behind. One real point does more than three vague ones.
Skip the title stack
Three job titles separated by | tell a prospect what you are, not why they should accept your request.
LinkedIn headline examples
Four headlines for four roles. Each one puts who they help in the first 60 characters, because that’s roughly all that shows on a connection request.

Write my AboutFrequently asked questions
Is the LinkedIn headline generator free?
Yes. Leave your work address and the headlines are yours to copy.
How many characters can a LinkedIn headline have?
220. On a connection request or in search results, though, people only see roughly the first 60 to 70, so the point has to land early.
What should I put in my LinkedIn headline?
Who you help and what changes for them, first. Your title and one proof point can follow. A row of job titles separated by | tells a prospect what you are, not why they should accept.
Will the generator make up results?
No. It only uses the proof you give it. If you give none, the proof angle leans on your role and who you work with.
What happens with my details?
You get your five headlines, and now and then a practical tip on LinkedIn outreach. Nobody from sales calls you unless you ask.
Where do people see my LinkedIn headline?
Under your name on every connection request you send, in search results, and next to every comment you leave. It’s often the first thing a prospect reads about you.
