Personal Brand Audit
Score your LinkedIn presence in 5 minutes — and find out exactly what's holding you back.
Rate yourself across 10 dimensions of personal brand strength. Get your Authority Score and a personalised action plan.
Profile Headline Clarity
Does your headline clearly communicate who you help and the outcome you deliver — not just your job title?
About Section Storytelling
Does your About section tell a compelling story that speaks to your ideal client's problems and your unique solution?
Featured Section Content
Is your Featured section populated with high-value content (case studies, articles, lead magnets) that builds credibility?
Experience Impact (Results vs. Duties)
Do your Experience entries lead with measurable outcomes and results — rather than listing generic responsibilities?
Posting Frequency
Do you post consistently on LinkedIn — at least 2–3 times per week — with no gaps longer than 2 weeks?
Content Originality
Is your content original and perspective-driven, rather than generic tips or reshared articles that anyone could post?
Positioning Clarity
Is your overall profile laser-focused on a specific niche or audience — not trying to appeal to everyone?
Social Proof / Recommendations
Do you have at least 3 specific, result-oriented recommendations from clients or colleagues visible on your profile?
Banner / Visual Branding
Is your banner image professional, on-brand, and communicating your value proposition at a glance?
Inbound Inquiry Rate
Are you receiving inbound connection requests, DMs, or inquiries from your ideal clients — at least once a month?
Why Every Professional Needs a Personal Brand Audit
A personal brand audit is the fastest way to identify the gaps between where your LinkedIn presence is today and where it needs to be to generate consistent inbound opportunities. Most professionals know their profile isn't working — but they don't know why. This audit changes that.
The 10-point framework above covers every dimension of LinkedIn profile optimisationthat directly impacts your visibility, credibility, and inbound inquiry rate. From headline clarity to social proof to posting consistency, each dimension contributes to your overall authority score and tells a specific story about where your brand is strong — and where it's leaking opportunity.
Conducting a LinkedIn brand auditisn't a one-time exercise. High-performing consultants, coaches, and advisors review their personal brand positioning every quarter — updating their headline as their niche evolves, refreshing their Featured section with new social proof, and adjusting their content strategy based on what's resonating with their audience.
If you scored in the Invisible or Emerging tiers, the good news is that the gap is almost always fixable with targeted positioning work and consistent content. Our personal branding framework for consultants walks through the exact steps that take professionals from invisible to authority — typically within 60–90 days of focused effort.
