Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

LinkedIn allows its members to have a personalized URL for their LinkedIn public profile. This unique profile URL serves a defining role in shaping your LinkedIn experience. You can share your profile URL with other people, include it in job applications, embed it into your resume, or add it to your personal website.

It is a good idea to leverage custom URLs on LinkedIn to build your image or personal branding. One way to do this is by incorporating brand-specific keywords in your LinkedIn profile URL. 

Read on to learn how to find your LinkedIn profile URL and how to change LinkedIn URL to a more effective one. 

What Is a LinkedIn URL?

A URL, used interchangeably as “web address,” is a web page reference that specifies the location of a unique resource on the internet or a computer network. Once you enter a URL into your browser’s address bar or click it (if it’s clickable), you’ll land on the resource/webpage associated with the address. 

Similarly, LinkedIn URL serves as the unique location of your LinkedIn profile. It specifies where your LinkedIn profile is situated on the LinkedIn network and web. Both individual profiles and company pages have LinkedIn URLs, which can be modified or shared to drive traffic.

How to Find My LinkedIn Profile URL?

You can locate your LinkedIn profile URL in three ways. 

Method 1: Click on the “Me” icon under your profile picture, and click on “View profile” from the dropdown menu. This will redirect you to your LinkedIn profile page. Once there, you can find your profile URL in your browser’s address bar.

Method 2: Visit your profile page and on the right-sidebar, click “Edit public profile & URL”. This will take you to a page where you can edit your profile information. 

You’ll find “Edit your custom URL” from the right sidebar, having a pencil icon underneath. It shows the personalized URL for your profile, which is editable.  

Method 3: Finally, you can google your profile with your first and last name and LinkedIn as your search terms. For instance, if your name is John Locke, you’ll search “John Lock LinkedIn.” 

Google SERP will display your profile in the search results, and you can open it to locate your public profile URL in the address bar. The same technique works for company pages; use your company name or title as the search terms, and the rest of the steps are the same as for your personal profile.
