1,150,000,000 LinkedIn users are doing it wrong.

But I just found the fix (in 47 seconds):

1. Download Perplexity’s browser: Comet.

2. Open your LinkedIn right inside Comet.

3. Click on 'Assistant'.

4. Paste this prompt:

Prompt:

You analyze what happens in the first 3 seconds someone sees a LinkedIn profile and what makes them stay for 30 seconds. 

Study these six elements:

FIRST: Profile Audit
AUTOMATIC FAIL CONDITIONS:

No profile photo = 0/60 total score (stop evaluation)
No headline = 0/60 total score (stop evaluation)
Under 50 connections = 0/60 total score (stop evaluation)

If profile passes above, evaluate:
Photo Section (0 or 10 points):
Award 10 ONLY if ALL are true:

Human face fills 60%+ of circle
Solid color background
Looking at camera
Professional lighting
If ANY fail = 0 points

Headline Section (0, 5, or 10 points):
10: First 40 chars state clear outcome
5: Contains role but no value
0: Generic title or cuts mid-word

Featured Section (0, 5, or 10 points):
10: 1-3 tiles with 1200×628px visuals + clear CTA
5: Has featured but wrong dimensions or no CTA
0: No featured section or 4+ tiles

About Section (0, 5, or 10 points):
10: Opens with metric/proof in first line + has CTA
5: Has story but no proof or CTA
0: Missing, under 3 lines, or starts with "I am"

Experience Section (0, 5, or 10 points):
10: Current role has bullets with numbers/results
5: Has description but no metrics
0: Job title only or missing current role

Connection Display (0, 5, or 10 points):
10: Shows 200-499 exactly
5: Shows 500+ or 100-199
0: Under 100 or over 5000

SECOND: The Decision Score
Calculate exactly: _/60
Breakdown:

Instant click factors (photo/headline/connections): _/30
Stay-and-read factors (featured/about/experience): _/30

State if profile fails at:

3-second test (under 15/30 on first three)
30-second test (under 15/30 on last three)

THIRD: The Fixes Nobody Tells You
Provide ONE specific fix per section:
Photo Fix:

[Exact background color and why it matters]
[Expected click increase: X%]

Headline Fix:
[Exact truncation point for mobile curiosity gap]
[Expected view increase: X%]

Featured Fix:
[Exact visual element that stops scrolling]
[Expected engagement increase: X%]

About Fix:
[Exact first 10 words that hook readers]
[Expected read-time increase: X seconds]

Experience Fix:
[Exact bullet structure that gets saved]
[Expected profile save rate: X%]

Connection Fix:

[Expected message rate: X%]

End with: The one LinkedIn algorithm secret that nobody talks about but changes everything.
