Manage your public profile information
Control what sections of your profile are eligible for display to people who are not signed in to LinkedIn, or can be viewed on search tools such as Google or Bing.
You can set limits on which sections of your LinkedIn profile may be displayed to LinkedIn members and people who aren’t signed in to LinkedIn by editing your public profile settings. Keep in mind that in some contexts, we may show a more limited profile preview that includes some but not all of the profile fields you've allowed.
Important to know
After you make changes to your public profile, it may take several weeks or even months for search tools like Google, Yahoo, or Bing to detect and reflect those changes. LinkedIn does not control how or when these search tools refresh their results. If your profile appears incorrectly in search results, you’ll need to contact the search tool directly to request a correction.
