How to find your LinkedIn profile link?

To find your LinkedIn profile link, open your profile, then copy the URL that looks like https://www.linkedin.com/in/votre-nom/. On a computer, the quickest way is to click on You, then View profile, and copy the address into the browser. On mobile, open your profile, go to the contact information or sharing menu, then copy the profile URL.

• Rememberthe correct LinkedIn link is the public profile link, not a search, messaging, session or tracking URL. If you want to add it to a CV, an email signature, an application or a prospecting sequence, use a clean URL in /in/... .

Quick response in 30 seconds

If the link has a lot of parameters, a LinkedIn search, session ID, or a path that doesn’t look like /in/..., start again from your profile page.

Find your LinkedIn link on computer

The most reliable method on desktop

• connect to LinkedIn;

• click on the You icon at the top of LinkedIn;

• click View profile;

• wait for your profile page to load;

• copy the URL into the browser address bar.

The link to share should look like

https://www.linkedin.com/in/prenom-nom/

You can also go through the Public profile & URL panel displayed on your profile. LinkedIn indicates that this area allows you to view and edit the public URL of your profile.

Find your LinkedIn link on mobile

On mobile, the interface varies depending on the application and browser, but the principle remains the same:

• open the LinkedIn application;

• touch your profile photo;

• open View Profile;

• look for the More, Share or Contact details menu;

• copy the profile URL.

LinkedIn also indicates that URL customization can go through Contact info, then Profile URL, before joining the public profile settings. If you can’t find the option in the application, use LinkedIn on computer: it’s often more readable.

Matrix of good and bad links

This distinction is important for personal SEO, recruiting and prospecting. A recruiter or prospect should not come across a search, landing page or error.

Customize your LinkedIn profile URL

LinkedIn allows you to customize the public URL of your profile, if the desired address is available. The benefit is simple: a short URL inspires more confidence and is better remembered.

On desktop, LinkedIn documents the following path

• click on You;

• open View Profile;

• click on the edit icon next to Public profile & URL;

• in Edit your custom URL, modify the last part of the URL;

• save.

Some useful rules

• use a variation of your name or professional brand;

• avoid accents, spaces, symbols and special characters;

• keep the URL short and readable;

• do not change URL every month;

• avoid forced keywords which make the link artificial.

LinkedIn specifies that the personalized URL is available on a first come, first served basis. The change is also limited: changing the URL too often can make it difficult to find your profile.

Checklist before sharing your link

• The link starts with https://www.linkedin.com/in/.

• It opens your profile, not a LinkedIn search.

• It works in a private browsing window.

• It does not contain unnecessary parameters.

• It is short enough to fit on a CV.

• It corresponds to your name or your professional brand.

• Your public profile is complete enough to be shared.

• Your photo, title and Info section are consistent with the intended use.

Testing the link in private browsing is a good habit. This allows you to see what someone who is not already logged into your account will see.

Or use their LinkedIn profile link

The LinkedIn link is useful in several contexts

If you share your profile to sell, recruit or prospect, the link is only a gateway. The person will then judge your title, your posts, your experiences and your clarity.

Common errors

The first mistake is copying a search URL. It may work for you, because you are logged in, but it does not point directly to your profile for others.

The second mistake is sharing a URL that is too long. Some settings are not dangerous, but they make the link less clean. For a CV or a signature, it is better to keep only the stable part.

The third mistake is to personalize the URL without thinking about what comes next. If you change your brand name or positioning often, keep a URL based on your name rather than an overly specific commercial promise.

Link LinkedIn profile and prospecting

For a B2B team, the profile link is not just an administrative detail. It is a building block of confidence in messages, signatures, sequences and commercial searches.

Before launching a LinkedIn campaign, check

• that each commercial profile has its own URL;

• that the title clearly explains who the person is helping;

• that the profile contains recent evidence or content;

• that the link is consistent with the messages sent;

• that incoming signals are tracked after visiting the profile.

• prioritization of hot leads so as not to treat all interactions the same.
