How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile for Google Search

Somebody Googled your name this week. Whatever came up was your interview, and you didn't get to prepare for it. In this episode of Good Girls Get Rich, Karen Yankovich shows you how to optimize your LinkedIn profile for Google search - so the first thing people find is the version of you that actually gets you business, not an old conference bio or a directory listing from a job you left years ago. Key Takeaways: Google your own name in an incognito window to see what strangers really see Turn on your LinkedIn public visibility settings - it's a revenue setting, not a privacy setting Rewrite the first 40 characters of your headline for a real person, not an algorithm Fix your About section, your custom URL, and use one consistent name everywhere Real client results: profiles that moved to #1–#2 on Google and turned into retreats, affiliates, and booked calls If this episode helped you see your LinkedIn profile differently, subscribe so you don't miss next week's episode on what to do after someone finds you on a borrowed stage.
