Questions about LinkedIn profile keywords

What are LinkedIn profile keywords?

LinkedIn profile keywords are the job titles, skills, tools and certifications a recruiter types into LinkedIn Recruiter search. LinkedIn matches those terms against your headline, About section, experience and skills, so a profile without them rarely appears in the results.

How does the keyword gap checker work?

The checker reads the job description with AI and lists up to 20 terms a recruiter would search for the role, marked as must-have or nice-to-have. It then matches each term and its common variants against the profile text you paste and reports which terms are missing.

Is my profile text stored or sent to an AI model?

No. Only the job description goes to the AI model. Your headline and About section are matched on Voketa's server for this one check and are not stored.

Where should I add missing keywords?

Job titles belong in your headline and current job title. Skills and tools belong in the Skills section and in the experience entry where you used them. Industry terms belong in your About section and in your posts.
