Who Can Add a Custom Button on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn offers a custom button feature that allows users to add a call-to-action (CTA) to their profile. However, this feature is only available for LinkedIn Premium users.
If you are using the free version of LinkedIn, don’t worry—there’s a great alternative that lets you add a clickable link to your profile, which we’ll cover later in this guide.
How to Add a Custom Button to Your LinkedIn Profile
Follow these steps to add a 'Visit My Website' button to your LinkedIn profile:
- Go to Your LinkedIn Profile
- Edit Your Profile
- Scroll to the 'Custom Button' Section
- Enable and Customize Your Button
- Enable Display Options
- Save Your Changes
Log in to LinkedIn and navigate to your profile page.
Click on the pencil icon in your profile header to edit your information.
At the bottom of the profile editor, locate the ‘Custom Button’ section.
Click ‘Edit Custom Button,’ then select ‘Visit My Website’ as your CTA and enter your website URL.
Toggle the option to display the button on posts, messages, and search results.
Click ‘Save’ and check your profile to ensure the button appears correctly.
Alternative for Free LinkedIn Users
If you’re not using LinkedIn Premium, you can still add a clickable link to your profile. Here’s how:
- Go to Profile Editing
- Select 'Display a Link on My Profile'
- Customize Your Link
- Save and Exit
Follow the same steps to edit your profile.
Instead of adding a button, choose the option to add a hyperlink to your profile.
Enter your link text (e.g., ‘Free LinkedIn Profile Makeover’) and add your website URL.
Click ‘Save’ and confirm the link appears correctly on your profile.
This method ensures your CTA aligns with your banner and encourages visitors to click through.
Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile for More Engagement
Adding a clear and relevant CTA to your LinkedIn profile helps you drive traffic to your website or offers. Whether you use the premium button or the free hyperlink method, ensure your profile is optimized for engagement.
