LinkedIn optimizer

Get found by recruiters on LinkedIn.

Recruiters search LinkedIn before they ever see your CV. Paste the link to your public profile, and SmartCVs scores it the way a recruiter reads it, shows what's holding it back, and suggests rewrites for your headline, About section and experience.

  • A score for your profile, with the headline and experience counting most
  • Every finding marked critical, improve or good
  • Rewrites and skills to add, built from what your profile says

Free. No signup. PDF or Word.

The SmartCVs LinkedIn optimizer scanning a mechanical engineer's public LinkedIn profile for a Senior Mechanical Engineer role. The profile scores 58 out of 100. The headline is only a job title, the About section reads as a list of duties, and the photo is good. A suggested headline rewrite names their plant maintenance and SolidWorks design work in dairy processing.

    With Pro, each finding explains itself and comes with a suggested rewrite or skills to add. Copy what you like into LinkedIn, then scan again to see the difference.

How does it read my profile?

Paste the link to your public LinkedIn profile and, if you like, the role you're aiming for. SmartCVs reads what's public on that profile. You don't give us your LinkedIn password or connect your account.

What does it check?

Your headline, About section, experience, skills, photo and cover image, custom URL, education, certifications, recommendations, Featured section and connections. It also checks whether your words fit the role you're aiming for, whether you describe results or just duties, and which skills that role looks for. The headline and experience count the most towards your score.

What's free, and what needs Pro?

The free plan includes one LinkedIn review: your score and every finding's title and severity. Pro unlocks the explanations, suggested rewrites for your headline, About section and experience, skills to add, and a fresh scan whenever you update your profile.

Does it change my LinkedIn for me?

No. It never posts, edits or messages anything. You copy the rewrites you want into LinkedIn yourself, then scan again to see the difference.

Will the rewrites say things I haven't done?

Rewrites are built from what your profile already says. Skills to add are suggestions for the role you're aiming at, so add one only if it's yours.

Is my data safe?

Your CV stays private to your account and we never sell your data. The AI we use runs with zero data retention, so it doesn't keep your CV or train on it. You can close your account at any time, and ask us to erase everything in it.
