Choose what visitors see in your intro.
Select your current position so your main employer appears in your intro. Check that the role is up to date in Experience and linked to the correct company page. If you have several current roles, such as consulting or a side project, choose your main employer under Primary position.
Show your university when the studies are relevant to your work and help establish your expertise. If they are unrelated, leave education out of the intro. Keep your company name in your headline too, alongside your role and area of work.
See whose intro needs an update.
Create your company report in Linkwiz and include your employees’ LinkedIn profiles. Linkwiz reviews 19 checks across Profile, Engagement and Networking. In Profile, the Profile Intro result shows whether your company appears in each employee’s introduction.
Find the employees marked Optimize in the team matrix and review the evidence in their individual reports. Ask them to check that their main employer is selected as the company shown in their intro. This gives them a specific change to make, rather than a general request to improve their profile.
