About the Episode:

Grab a pen and paper… we’re diving into keywords! So many times our marketing strategies include everything from posting on social media, Facebook ad’s, etc. however, my entire perspective was changed when I heard this one quote from a friend…  

“Instead of putting all your money and efforts into pushing out your content, spend all your energy with NO money, placing your content in front of people you KNOW are interested in what you do… because they’re already searching for it!”  

That’s where LinkedIn keywords come in and in this episode. Keywords are ways to bring people to your page on LinkedIn.  

Here are the best ways to use Linkedin keywords to attract people to your profile:    

Know the Difference Between LinkedIn keywords and SEO keywords

The first step into starting to use LinkedIn keywords to attract people to your profile is to know that they are different than using keywords for SEO.  

To first start using LinkedIn keywords, ask yourself this question:  

What are people searching for on LinkedIn that I want to come up for under the search results?  

For example, if you’re selling a monthly weight loss plan, your keywords on google may be “weight loss plan, best weight loss plan, monthly weight loss plan for real results!” However, someone isn’t looking to buy your plan on LinkedIn, but they may be looking for a weight loss coach or expert. Therefore, your keywords on LinkedIn could be “weight loss expert, weight loss coach, motivational weight loss expert” etc.

Fun fact: your competitors are NOT doing this. Using keywords correctly will bring you up first in results for those keywords you wish to be found for.

Use Keywords in EVERY section on LinkedIn

LinkedIn gives you x amount of characters to use in each section… therefore, USE THEM!  

Before our team at UpLevel Media even starts writing your profile, we make sure we have your solid list of LinkedIn keywords to know exactly when and where to use them.  

When filling in your about section, headline, even in articles you share and posts, make sure to include various keywords from your list of 40-50. Beware of “keyword stuffing” though as you want to make sure your sections and posts are readable as well.  

Remember, you’re attracting people to your profile, so you want to give them something that sounds natural and organic to who you really are.  

See what LinkedIn is using to bring your profile up in search results

Once you’ve completed all this leg work, now you can check how well your keywords are working on LinkedIn! If you didn’t know, LinkedIn actually tell’s you how many times you’ve come up in search results within the past week and what they are using to bring up your profile.  

Make sure to monitor this section maybe once a week. From there, you can see if your results are on-par or off target. If they’re consistently off target, then you need that you may need to invest more time into your LinkedIn keywords or hiring someone (like myself) to help you out with your profile.  

I want you to do this right from the start, that’s why I included this free, bonus video for you to check out to see exactly how to do this.
