How to Get Your LinkedIn URL

There are 2 methods to get your LinkedIn URL:

1. Find your LinkedIn URL in the address bar

2. Get your LinkedIn profile URL from your profile settings

Let's check that!

Method 1: Find your LinkedIn URL in the address bar

The easiest way to find your LinkedIn URL is to check your URL in your browser.

When you’re viewing your own LinkedIn profile (while logged in), your profile URL is right there in the address bar of your browser. Copy it, and you’re done.

Method 2: Get your LinkedIn profile URL from your profile settings

You can also find your profile URL directly from your LinkedIn profile:

1. Go to your profile.

2. On the right-hand side, look for a box labeled “Public Profile & URL.”

3. Click Edit your public profile.

4. Copy your URL from there.

How to Edit Your LinkedIn Profile URL

Good news: You can customize your LinkedIn URL to make it more professional and easier to remember. Note that it might be useful for your SEO.

Here’s how:

Step 1: Go on your LinkedIn profile

The first steps are:

1. Go on LinkedIn and click on "Me"

2. Then, click on "View Profile"

Step 2: Click on the pen

Click on the pen.

Step 3: Click on "Edit contact info"

Click on "Edit contact info".

Step 4: Click on the link

Here you have to click on the link.

Step 5: Modify your LinkedIn URL

Finally, you just have to:

1. Type your new LinkedIn URL

2. Click on "Save"

💡 Pro tip: Keep it simple and professional. Use your name or a clean variation of it. Avoid numbers, special characters, or anything that looks spammy. LinkedIn won’t allow spaces or weird symbols anyway.

Bonus: Edit your LinkedIn URL on your LinkedIn Profile

In some cases, you can edit your LinkedIn URL directly from your LinkedIn profile. It's more simple than the previous method.

But it might happen that you don't this option on your LinkedIn account.

How to Quickly Find Multiple LinkedIn Profile URLs of Potential Clients

If you're doing outreach, you probably don’t want to grab the LinkedIn URLs of your leads one by one.

Sales Navigator is where things get interesting.

You can apply advanced filters, segment your contacts, and access way more valuable data than what you get from LinkedIn.

📺 If you don't know how to use Sales Navigator, no problem. You can check this in-depth tutorial:

Now it's time for a step-by-step guide to find multiple LinkedIn URLs of potential clients using Sales Navigator.

Step 1: Create a GiveMeLeads account

Go on GiveMeLeads. Then click on "Get first 10 leads for free".

Then, you have to write your:

1. First Name

2. Last Name

3. Email

4. Password

And click on "Create account".

Step 2: Download the Chrome Extension

The GiveMeLeads Chrome extension allows you to export your LinkedIn Sales Navigator leads with one click.

It's not mandatory to use it — you can also copy and paste the Sales Navigator search URL directly into the platform.

However, using the extension makes the process faster and easier, especially if you're just getting started.

Step 3: Select your target on LinkedIn Sales Navigator

Go to LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Use filters to find your ideal leads (like job title, company size, or location).

Then click “Extract leads” using the GiveMeLeads extension or paste the search URL on the platform.

Step 4: Add Intent Data (Optional)

Depending on your GiveMeLeads plan, you can add intent data to your searches.

It’s a great way to find warm leads — people who are more likely to reply or book a call.

Let’s say your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters are:

• Company size: 51–200 employees

• Job title: “Head of Sales”

• Location: San Francisco Bay Area

On top of that, GiveMeLeads will look for people who match these filters and show intent, such as:

• 1st-degree connections

• People in your competitors’ network

• People who follow your company page

• People who viewed your LinkedIn profile

Once you’ve selected your intent data sources, click “Save Changes”

💡 Pro tip: You can set priorities for each source. For example, you can give more weight to 1st-degree connections than profile viewers.

💡Pro tip #2: If you work with multiple sales reps (or co-founders), you can use all of their LinkedIn accounts to get more and better leads. Each account brings its own network, 1st-degree connections, and profile viewers — which means more warm leads for your team.

Step 5: Launch your export

You target is set up. Now it's time to export your leads.

For that, click on "New Leads Export".

You will get a pop-up where you can select:

• The number of leads you want to export

• If you want to schedule this export on a weekly basis.

Then click on "Export Leads".

Step 6: Schedule Your Leads Export (Optional)

GiveMeLeads lets you schedule lead exports. Pick the day you want, and you’ll receive fresh leads weekly.

Once set up, you'll get a fresh list of leads every week — automatically.

Each lead is unique, and the system ensures there are no duplicates. This saves you time and keeps your CRM clean, so you can focus on outreach, not data cleaning.

Then, you’ll automatically receive new leads every week — no manual work needed.

You can focus 100% on what really matters: sending emails, starting LinkedIn conversations, and booking meetings.

💡 Pro tip: With scheduled exports, you can easily build lead files with more than 2,500 fresh, qualified contacts delivered straight to your inbox every week.

Step 7: Download your leads file

When your export is finished, you’ll receive an email with a download link.

You can also download your file directly by clicking the "Download" button in your dashboard. You’ll see two options.

1. "Open in Sheets"

This gives you a simple version of your lead list.

You have:

• Source (Sales Navigator, 1st-degree, profile viewers…)

• First Name

• Last Name

• Profile picture

• Company name

• Job title

• Headline

• LinkedIn URL

• Email

It doesn’t include all the data, but it’s perfect if you just want to import leads into your CRM or outreach tool like Lemlist or Expandi.

2. "Download CSV"

This gives you the full file with all available data. For each lead, you’ll see extra info like:

• Whether they have LinkedIn Premium

• Their total years of experience

• Company details like size, industry, and location

• Etc

Here's all the informations you can have:

💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget to scroll horizontally — there's a lot of valuable data in your lead file, including job titles, company size, verified emails, and even intent signals.

On top of that, GiveMeLeads automatically cleans your data:

• Fixes capital letters in names and job titles

• Removes emojis from job titles

• Removes legal suffixes in company names (like LLC, GmbH, etc.)

GiveMeLeads also checks if each lead matches your LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters.

If a lead doesn’t fit — for example, they have:

• An invalid job title

• Invalid location

• Wrong company size work

• Etc

We tag them in the column "filters" with the reason they’re invalid (like “Invalid job title” or “Wrong company size”).

That way, you keep full control of your data and don’t waste time guessing why a lead doesn’t match your targeting.

With GiveMeLeads, you get the verified professional email of every lead — even if they’re in your 2nd or 3rd-degree connections.

💡 Pro tip: No need to use separate tools to find or verify emails. Everything’s already cleaned, verified, and ready to go.

How to Convert a LinkedIn Sales Navigator URL to a Normal LinkedIn URL

Every LinkedIn profile has a unique member ID. Even if someone changes their LinkedIn URL, that ID doesn’t change.

Here’s how the Sales Navigator URL looks:

https://www.linkedin.com/sales/lead/ACwAADNVsroBlxi2ippxHw1kHvHitcFDy2Apmqw,NAME_SEARCH,VD9H

Between "lead/" and ",NAME_SEARCH", you have the Unique ID.

It's in bold in the example.

You grab the ID, and you paste it into this format:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/UniqueID

For example:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACwAADNVsroBlxi2ippxHw1kHvHitcFDy2Apmqw

Now you have a functional LinkedIn URL.

FAQ

How do I find my LinkedIn profile URL?

To find your LinkedIn profile URL, go to your LinkedIn homepage and click on your profile picture or name to open your profile.

Then, look at the address bar of your browser. That’s your public profile URL.

Alternatively, click on “Edit public profile & URL” in the top-right corner of your profile page. Your current URL will be displayed there.

Can I customize my LinkedIn profile URL?

Yes, LinkedIn lets you create a custom URL.

In the “Edit public profile & URL” section, click on “Edit your custom URL”.

You’ll be able to enter a personalized link, ideally your name or something close to it.

What are the best practices for choosing a custom LinkedIn URL?

Use a clean, professional, and easy-to-remember URL. Here are some tips:

• Use your full name (e.g., linkedin.com/in/johndoe)

• If it’s taken, try a variation (e.g., johndoe1, john-doe, john-doe-marketing)

• Avoid numbers, special characters, or irrelevant words

• Keep it short and consistent with your personal brand

Can I change my LinkedIn URL multiple times?

Yes, you can change your custom LinkedIn URL more than once, but LinkedIn recommends keeping it stable.

Frequent changes can confuse people and break old links you've shared (e.g., on your resume or email signature).

What if my preferred LinkedIn URL is already taken?

Try these options:

• Add your middle name or initial

• Include your industry or job title (e.g., john-doe-sales or john-doe-consultant)

• Use a professional abbreviation or certification (e.g., john-doe-cpa)

LinkedIn may also suggest available alternatives when your first choice isn’t available.

How do I optimize my LinkedIn URL for SEO?

While the URL itself has limited SEO value, using your real name or keywords related to your profession (like “jane-doe-designer”) can help your profile appear in relevant Google searches.

But the biggest SEO gains come from optimizing your actual profile content (headline, summary, job titles).

If I change my LinkedIn URL, will people still be able to find me?

Yes, your profile will remain public unless you change your visibility settings.

However, old links using your previous URL will no longer work, so be sure to update your resume, email signature, website, and anywhere else you’ve shared it.

Should I put my LinkedIn URL on my resume?

Absolutely. Adding your LinkedIn URL makes it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to view your full professional background, endorsements, and work samples.
