## Questions people ask

### What makes a good LinkedIn headline?

It says what you do and who you do it for, in words your audience would type into search. "Fractional CFO for B2B SaaS | Seed to Series B" beats "Finance leader passionate about growth" because a founder searching for help finds the first one and scrolls past the second. Titles, keywords, and one concrete outcome carry more weight than adjectives.

### How long can a LinkedIn headline be?

Up to 220 characters on a personal profile. You do not have to spend them all, but the headline follows your name into every feed, comment, search result, and connection request, so it is the most reused text you own. The generator writes to fit the limit; the character counter tool on this site checks anything you edit afterwards.

### Should I put keywords in my LinkedIn headline?

Yes, the ones your audience actually searches: your role, your specialty, your market. LinkedIn search and recruiter tools weight the headline heavily, and so do the AI assistants people increasingly ask for recommendations. Keyword stuffing reads badly to humans, though, so the skill is fitting two or three real terms into a sentence a person would say.

### Is this headline generator free?

Yes. No account, no email, and you get five options per run so you can compare structures rather than accept one guess. A daily cap keeps it available for everyone.

### Will the headlines sound like everyone else’s?

The generator bans the clichés ("passionate about", "results-driven", rocket emojis) and varies the structure across the five options. But it only knows the three fields you typed. Depost AI writes from your actual profile and your post analytics, which is where a headline stops being generic, because it is built from what your audience already responds to.

### What is sent to your servers when I use this?

The three form fields, once, to generate the result. They are not stored, and there is no account to attach them to.
