    59. LinkedIn 2026: Trends Service Providers Should Pay Attention To

    Posting consistently but getting zero traction? You're not alone, and it's not your fault. In this episode, we dive into the seismic shift that happened on LinkedIn while most people were still following advice from six months ago. LinkedIn pulled off something major: they swapped out their entire content distribution system. We're not talking about a minor update here. The platform is now powered by AI that can actually understand context, expertise, and meaning, instead of just tallying up reactions and hunting for keywords. We walk through the five biggest changes defining success on LinkedIn right now, using insights pulled directly from their engineering research. After working with dozens of clients navigating this transition, we're sharing what's legitimately moving the needle, why your profile matters more than any individual post, and how to communicate in a way that signals real expertise to the system. If you're a coach, consultant, or service provider counting on LinkedIn to bring in leads and build authority, this episode cuts through the confusion. Key takeaways: The shift from engagement counting to genuine expertise evaluation Why your profile is now actively shaping every piece of content you publish The make or break importance of leading with your strongest point How every comment and interaction reinforces your positioning Why getting specific about your niche actually expands your reach The outdated tactics you need to drop right now Ready to make your profile work with the new algorithm?

    58. How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile That Actually Converts

    Getting plenty of LinkedIn profile views but your inbox stays empty? In this episode, we're diving into why so many coaches, consultants, and service providers have professionally polished profiles that fail at the one thing that matters: turning visitors into clients. We've worked with countless professionals who had "complete" LinkedIn profiles but weren't seeing results. The pattern is always the same: they're following outdated advice that treats LinkedIn like a job board instead of a client attraction tool. Today, we're sharing what actually works to convert profile visitors into connection requests, meaningful conversations, and ultimately paying clients. If you're wondering why competitors with less experience are booking more calls, or why your perfectly crafted profile isn't generating the traction you expected, this episode answers those questions with our proven framework. Key takeaways: The three profile sections that determine whether visitors connect or keep scrolling How we help clients craft headlines that make ideal prospects stop and pay attention Why your professional headshot might be sending the wrong message to premium clients The About section structure that turns casual browsers into engaged prospects Strategic ways to leverage Featured content that build authority before anyone reads a word LinkedIn algorithm secrets that increase your visibility in the searches that matter Want to transform your LinkedIn profile from a static resume into an active lead generator?
