Use this interactive demo to learn how to make your LinkedIn profile public.

‍

To make your LinkedIn profile public, follow these steps:

‍

Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
In the dropdown menu, click on 'Settings & Privacy'.
Select the 'Visibility' tab.
Under the 'Profile' section, find 'Edit your public profile'.
Toggle the switch next to 'Your profile's public visibility' to turn on your public visibility.
By following these steps, you will have made your LinkedIn profile public, allowing others to view your profile even without being connected to you on LinkedIn.

📌 Why this matters

Making your LinkedIn profile public transforms it from a networking tool into a powerful lead generation asset. When prospects research you before sales calls or after cold outreach, they can immediately see your credibility and expertise without needing to connect first.

This removes friction from your sales process and builds trust faster. Your public profile also becomes discoverable through Google searches, essentially turning LinkedIn into a 24/7 sales representative that works even when you're not actively prospecting.
