How To Make Your LinkedIn Profile Private? Back to questions list
Regardless if you’re an active user with a good profile picture and profile content or you still have nothing in the profile to be seen, by creating an account on LinkedIn, it’s automatically visible to people who use public search engines like Google to find you. However, if you do not want to “blow cover” with your LinkedIn account and stay private, you can fix that in your settings: Open your LinkedIn homepage and click Edit Profile. Select the icon that says Settings right next to your URL, which is right under your profile photo. Find the section Customize Your Public Profile and right under it click the icon Make my public profile visible to no one. Save your settings. It might take a while before the link to your LinkedIn profile will be completely removed from Google or any other search engines, the usual period is up to several weeks. Keep in mind that by doing the following steps, your profile remains invisible for employers who have your resume application and search you in social media, which surely includes LinkedIn as well.
