But LinkedIn allows you to customize your URL and create something unique and memorable. I recommend you choose something that uses your first and last name and is easy to remember. Your name must be different from every other LinkedIn member, so use your middle initial or middle name if your name has already been claimed by someone else. Your public profile URL is easy to change, and helps you look like an experienced LinkedIn user, so I don't want to hear any excuses! ### Step 1: Move your cursor over ***Profile*** at the top of your homepage and select ***Edit Profile***.  ![Edit-LinkedIn-Profile](http://www.inboundteam.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Edit-LinkedIn-Profile.png?width=346&name=Edit-LinkedIn-Profile.png) ### Step 2: Click the gear icon next to your URL link under your profile photo. It will be an address like **www.linkedin/in/your-name/92/510/448**  ![LinkedIn-Public-Profile-URL](http://www.inboundteam.com/hubfs/LinkedIn-Public-Profile-URL.png) ### Step 3: Under the ***Your public profile URL*** section at the top of the right sidebar, click ***+ Create your custom URL***.  ![LinkedIn-Create-Your-Custom-URL](http://www.inboundteam.com/hubfs/LinkedIn-Create-Your-Custom-URL.png) ### Step 4: Type the last part of your new custom URL in the text box and click ***Save***. ![LinkedIn\_Public\_Profile\_URL](http://www.inboundteam.com/hubfs/LinkedIn_Public_Profile_URL.png)   You will no longer look like a LinkedIn newbie and the URL will look great whenever and wherever you post it. **If you are interested in having us review your LinkedIn profile, click the button below, and we’ll provide you a Free LinkedIn Profile Review.** **[![Get Your LinkedIn Review](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/13372/06aee77a-acf3-4824-89f7-f45ed1070c77.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/13372/06aee77a-acf3-4824-89f7-f45ed1070c77)**   ![Kami Valdez](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/c28dcef595046c00e6dbd5e8565f129d) [Kami Valdez](http://www.inboundteam.com/blog/author/kami-valdez) Content Marketing & LinkedIn Strategist at Inbound Team Find me on: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/InboundTeam) [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/in/kamivaldez/) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/InboundTeam) [Inbound Team](http://www.inboundteam.com/) is **Georgia's Digital Marketing Agency** specializing in helping businesses grow through inbound and digital marketing.
