How To Claim Your Custom URL on LinkedIn For Personal Branding

August 8, 2019 by Robert

Robert Riggs Personal Branding On How To Change Your LinkedIn URL

Here’s How To Set Up A Personal Branding URL For Your LinkedIn Public Profile

A custom URL like a branded domain name is critically important to personal branding.

Most of us include a link to our LinkedIn profile in our email signature and share it on business presentations.

The URL that LinkedIn automatically assigns to you includes distracting digits and text like the Julius Caesar example shown above.

Personal Branding Means Dominating The First Page of Search Results

Ideally, your name should appear in the URL to support your personal branding strategy.

Also, I encourage my personal branding clients to own their name on the first page of search results.

The old adage of real estate applies to your presence on the first page of Google — it’s location, location, location.

Claiming your custom URL for your LinkedIn profile can help it appear as a separate search result when someone “google’s” your name.
