Personal brand

GenericDistinctive

Two out of five, closer to generic than distinctive.

What's holding you back

  • Your headline describes your job, not your value.
  • Your content is too reactive. Most posts react to industry news rather than set out your own view.
  • Your Featured section isn't converting profile visitors.

Your biggest missed opportunity

You have considerably more authority than your LinkedIn currently communicates.

How it works

Thirty seconds from you, the rest from us

  1. Send your LinkedIn

    Just your profile URL and work email. No login, and no access to your account.

  2. We review it by hand

    A strategist reads your profile and your last 20 posts, and scores them across eight categories.

  3. Your report card arrives

    Your score, what's working, what's holding you back, and five fixes, by email.

What we score

100 points, weighted toward authority

Follower counts don't count. 1,500 followers and 40 comments from CISOs beats 10,000 followers and 12 likes. We score credibility, point of view and commercial impact, the things that make a security leader worth listening to.

  1. Positioning

    15 points

    “Do I know what you do?”

  2. Profile Conversion

    15 points

    “Would I contact this person?”

  3. Authority

    15 points

    “Why should I listen to you?”

  4. Content Strategy

    15 points

    “What do they actually talk about?”

  5. Engagement

    10 points

    “Are people listening?”

  6. Social Proof

    10 points

    “Do other people validate them?”

  7. Personal Brand

    10 points

    “Do I remember them?”

  8. Commercial Opportunity

    10 points

    “Is LinkedIn helping the business?”

Where you land

  1. 0–30 Invisible
  2. 31–45 Present
  3. 46–60 Emerging
  4. 61–75 Established
  5. 76–89 Recognized
  6. 90–100 Category Authority

You also get two sub-scores. Profile Authority is how credible you look when someone lands on your profile. Content Authority is how well your content shows that expertise. An incredible career with almost no LinkedIn presence shows up as a big gap between the two.

FAQ

Anything else, ask us on the strategy call.

Yes. No card, no call, no catch. If you'd like help with the gaps afterwards, you can book a strategy call, but the report is yours either way.
A strategist on our team, by hand. Not a tool or a template. They read your profile and your last 20 posts before scoring anything.
No. Just your profile URL. We only look at what's already public on your profile and in your recent posts.
Your headline, banner, About, Featured section, experience, recommendations and recent posts, scored across eight categories: positioning, profile conversion, authority, content, engagement, social proof, personal brand and commercial opportunity.
Yes. Follower count isn't scored. What counts is whether the right people are listening and whether your profile shows what you know.

Your digital reputation

Your LinkedIn isn't a CV

It's the first place buyers, peers and boards check you out. We help security leaders turn their expertise, experience and opinions into a visible personal brand that creates opportunities.
