Here is a short LinkedIn video tip on how to effectively use your professional headline in your LinkedIn profile.  The professional headline is limited to 120 characters, but is a powerful tool to draw potential connections to view your profile as it shows up on search results on LinkedIn and Google.

Another benefit of tweaking your professional headline is that it is an keyword rich ingredient in how LinkedIn organizes their search results making your profile potentially optimized for keywords that reflect your services.
