Free LinkedIn Profile Audit
Avery is a free AI career strategist that reads your LinkedIn profile, asks you a few questions about your goal, and returns a personalized audit with a score out of 100 across four pillars (First Impression, Story, Proof, Visibility) plus specific findings on what to fix first. No signup wall, no credit card.
How the score works
First Impression
Your photo, banner, and headline. This is the few seconds a recruiter or client spends deciding whether to click into your profile, so Avery checks whether those three pieces say who you are and what you want next.
Story
Your About section and how your experience reads as a whole. Avery looks for a clear narrative that connects where you have been to where you are going, instead of a list of past job descriptions.
Proof
Results, projects, Featured items, and recommendations. Avery checks whether your claims are backed by specific outcomes a reader can believe.
Visibility
Skills, keywords, and activity. Avery checks how easy you are to find when someone searches for the role or expertise you want to be known for.
Your overall score is weighted by the goal you pick at the start of the chat: job search, thought leadership, student, and so on. The weighting follows your goal. For a job search, First Impression carries 35% of the score and Visibility 25%, because the profile has to convert the moment a recruiter lands on it. For thought leadership, pipeline building or a rebrand, Visibility carries 40% and First Impression 20%, because posting is the strategy and the profile only has to stay credible. Story and Proof fill the rest in both cases.
What the audit looks like
- An overall score out of 100.
- A projected score showing where you land after you make the recommended fixes.
- A score for each of the four pillars.
- 8 to 12 specific findings, each with an impact statement explaining why it matters for your goal.
- Delivered by email as a private page that is never indexed by search engines.

FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. The full audit is free right now, including the score, pillar scores, and every finding. There is no credit card step and no trial that converts into a charge.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You start chatting with Avery right on this page. You share your email during the chat so we know where to send your audit, and that is it.
How long does it take?
The conversation with Avery takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Your audit arrives by email, usually within 24 hours.
Do you need my LinkedIn password?
No, never. We only look at your public profile and what you tell us. Avery will never ask you to log in to LinkedIn or share your credentials.
Does Avery work for students?
Yes. When you pick the student goal, Avery scores your profile against what recruiters look for in entry-level and internship candidates. Coursework, projects, clubs, and internships all count as proof.
What does the score mean?
The score is out of 100 and reflects how well your profile supports the goal you chose, across First Impression, Story, Proof, and Visibility. Your audit also shows a projected score so you can see how much the recommended fixes are worth.
How is this different from LinkedIn's own profile strength meter?
LinkedIn's meter measures whether sections are filled in. Avery measures whether what is in those sections works for your specific goal, and tells you exactly what to change first.
What happens to my data?
Your audit lives on a private page that search engines never index. We use your answers and public profile only to create your audit, and we do not sell or share your data.
