I was in LinkedIn's TOP 200 worldwide. Here's my free LinkedIn profile checklist.

1. It should be clear from your profile what you do, how you help, whom you help.
2. Clear, good-quality photo. The same profile picture across all social channels.
3. Tagline – people should understand what you/your company do. How can you help?
You can use your company's social banners. Don't use vague phrases like "Let's change the future." Nobody understands what this means.
4. Add services you/your company provide.
5. A concise bio. Write in the first person. Not third. Explain what you do and how you can help.
6. Add links to helpful resources (home page, useful blog, ungated demo) to your Featured Section.
7. Add all your previous jobs. Describe your responsibilities and/or accomplishments. Especially your current role.
8. Endorse people you know/worked with. Ask for recommendations (your colleagues, ex-colleagues, clients). Give recommendations.

These are some of the great pointers @olenabomko
I think visual aspect is often overlooked but is really important. +1 for good quality photo and banner.
Matter of fact, I am trying to help PH community by offering free custom LinkedIn banners for better visibility.
If you are reading this, let's connect on LinkedIn(my link in bio) and I am more than happy to help you on visual aspect.
I am getting a lot of requests so bear with me if I don't respond instantly. I will surely get back :)

@dan_burns
You can download my checklist with examples.
I know people who have long bios. And they are successful. I know people with short bios. And they are successful, too :)
It should be clear.

Is "I sell software" to concise?...

This is an extremely powerful list of optimizing LinkedIn profiles. A lot of value in there. I am surely going to use some of this and optimize where I need to. Thanks, Olena.
