How it works

We scan your bio against a database of 80+ LinkedIn buzzwords, clichés, and empty phrases — "passionate", "results-driven", "thought leader", "synergy", "leverage", "game-changer", and many more. Each hit adds to your Buzzword Density Score (BDS).

The grade is calculated from BDS, overall word count, sentence complexity, authenticity signals, and pattern matching for common LinkedIn templates. The same bio always gives the same result — no AI, no server calls, fully deterministic.

Why LinkedIn bios are a disaster

LinkedIn has optimized for a writing style that's technically correct but says nothing. "Passionate professional with a proven track record" appears on 14+ million profiles. You're not differentiating — you're blending in. The irony of using "unique" to describe yourself when 2 million others use the same word.

What a great LinkedIn bio actually looks like

Specifics beat adjectives. "I reduced churn by 34% at Acme" beats "results-driven." "I help B2B SaaS companies close enterprise deals in 60 days" beats "thought leader." Numbers, categories, concrete outcomes. That's it.

Embed your grade on your LinkedIn, portfolio, or README

Drop the badge on your personal site and let visitors roast their own bios. Every click generates a share and spreads the word.
