Strategy

Your LinkedIn Goal
Many of our clients tell us they are looking to brand themselves online. Some people are selling a product. Others are trying to network more effectively. What are you hoping to accomplish by having an optimized profile? What do you want out of LinkedIn?

Your target audience
Try to get as specific as possible. Recruiters for Healthcare, c level executives at mid- to large-size companies, technology managers in New York City, etc...

Your main keywords
Think in terms of the words a person would use to try to find you if they did not know your name. What product or service do you sell? Which words describe what your product or service does for clients? What are your skillsets, specialties, or core strengths? What software programs do you use? What is your industry? Please note: "Dynamic, professional, creative, etc." are NOT keywords.
