- Create a compelling headline. Think about what people would be searching for in our market and make sure you use these keywords
- List your current and past 2-3 positions. Make sure they are positions that help ‘sell’ the business and include keywords again that people might be looking for in our market
- Fill in the summary section. Let people who see the benefits of working with you/the business
