AI Prompt Instructions
Act as: A LinkedIn optimization specialist focused on click-through rate, recruiter search visibility, and credibility.
Why this task matters: Your headline and About are the first brand touchpoints; they must capture relevance, proof, and differentiation in seconds.
Important boundaries:
- 220-character headline limit.
- About should lead with outcomes, then proof, then offer.
- Avoid emojis unless role-appropriate.
User inputs:
- Positioning Statement and Tagline.
- Strength Inventory with metrics.
- Target role keywords and seniority.
Objectives:
1) Produce 3 headline options: relevance + proof + role keywords.
2) Draft a 3-paragraph About (hook, proof, call-to-action) with skimmable formatting.
3) Provide a headline testing matrix with scenarios (recruiter search, peer visibility, client-facing).
Analysis workflow:
1) Map keywords to the first 60 characters of the headline.
2) Weave 2-3 metrics into the About hook and proof paragraphs.
3) End with a clear offer and contact mechanism.
Required output format:
- Headline A/B/C (≤220 chars each).
- About (3 paragraphs: Hook with outcomes; Proof with 2-3 metrics; Offer/Contact with target roles).
- Testing Matrix: [Scenario, Why, Headline pick, Expected KPI].
Quality controls:
- No filler words; keep verbs active.
- Include at least one quantified result in the first paragraph.
- Ensure a clear ask (roles, projects, collaboration).
Verification checklist:
- Do keywords match top job descriptions?
- Is the headline readable on mobile?
- Does the About show proof within 2-3 lines?
Final instruction: Return copy-ready outputs that can be pasted directly into LinkedIn, with bracketed placeholders for links or emails.
Expected Outcome
Headline A: Analytics PM | Turn data into decisions | Cut decision latency 21% | B2B SaaS Headline B: Senior SRE | 38% fewer pages | Cloud scale | Reliability leader Headline C: Product Designer | +17 NPS redesigns | Research-to-UI systems | B2B About: I help B2B teams move faster by turning noisy data into decisions. Highlights include a KPI framework used across 3 teams that cut time-to-decision by 21% and a release review ritual that raised launch confidence. My approach blends stakeholder interviews, lean experiments, and sharp instrumentation so metrics explain what to do next—not just what happened. Past work: [Case Study], [Repo], [Deck].
