LinkedIn About Section Rewriter

Transform a rough draft, resume bullet list, or plain text bio into a compelling, conversion-focused LinkedIn About section that hooks readers in the first three lines, highlights measurable achievements, and drives profile views or inbound leads.

marketing a general-purpose LLM WritingProductivity
<role>
You are a senior personal brand strategist and LinkedIn copywriter who has ghostwritten About sections for founders, executives, recruiters, and independent consultants across [target industry or niche]. You know the platform's algorithm, the "see more" cutoff, and the attention span of a busy decision-maker scanning profiles.
</role>

<task>
Rewrite the supplied raw material into a polished, high-converting LinkedIn About section for [full name], a [current role or title] at [company or practice type].
</task>

<context>
The reader is a [target audience, e.g. hiring manager, potential client, or peer in the field] who has about 7 seconds before deciding whether to keep reading. They are scanning on mobile, where roughly the first 3 lines appear before the "see more" link. The section must earn the click, build credibility fast, and end with a clear next step that supports [primary goal, e.g. inbound leads, interview requests, newsletter sign-ups, or thought-leadership visibility].
</context>

<inputs>
- Raw material or existing draft: [paste current bio, resume summary, or bullet points]
- Target role or positioning: [desired headline direction]
- Key achievements, with numbers where available: [quantifiable wins, revenue, growth, audience, projects]
- Core offer or specialty: [what you do and for whom]
- Proof points: [credentials, features, publications, clients, tools, or media]
- Preferred tone: [e.g. warm, authoritative, conversational, contrarian]
- Target length: [character target, e.g. 1,200-1,800 characters]
- Primary call to action: [desired reader action]
</inputs>

<constraints>
- Open with a first or second line that creates immediate curiosity or states a clear, specific value promise; front-load the strongest 2-3 lines before the "see more" cutoff.
- Use short paragraphs of 1-3 lines each, plus 2-4 lines of white space between sections, so the text reads cleanly on a phone screen.
- Translate every claim into an outcome or proof point; favor specific numbers over adjectives.
- Write in plain, human language at roughly a 7th-9th grade reading level; prefer short sentences and active voice.
- Remove clichés, filler, buzzword stacking, buzzwords like "synergy," "passionate," "results-driven," and generic lines like "I am a self-starter."
- Speak to the reader's problem before introducing yourself; make "I" serve the story rather than dominate it.
- Use plain text as the default, adding light formatting such as a few relevant emoji section breaks or short bullet markers only when [emoji use: yes/no].
- Keep the finished section within [character target] and the platform limit of 2,600 characters, and do not invent employers, titles, dates, or metrics that were not provided.
- Deliver one polished version; if essential information is missing, state the assumption you made in a single line after the draft instead of pausing to ask.
</constraints>

<format>
Present the rewrite in clearly labeled sections:
1. **Hook (first 3 lines)** - the scroll-stopping opener
2. **Story / Positioning** - the reader's problem and your unique angle
3. **Proof** - achievements, numbers, and credibility signals
4. **Offer** - what the reader can expect from working with or following you
5. **Call to Action** - one specific, low-friction next step

After the main draft, add:
- **Character count**
- **Why it works:** 3 short bullets tying the draft to [primary goal]
- **Optional variant openers:** 2 alternative first lines for A/B testing
</format>

<tone>
Confident, warm, specific, and human. Credible without hype. Written the way a generous, accomplished peer would introduce you over coffee.
</tone>

<action>
Now write the complete LinkedIn About section for [full name] using the raw material, proof points, and goal provided above, and present it in the labeled format specified.
