Necessary elements to include in a LinkedIn banner

  1. Calls to action (CTA): Whether it's inviting them to explore your latest projects, visit your website, or connect with you, CTAs add a proactive dimension to your profile.
  2. Personal branding elements: Integrate elements that reflect your professional identity, such as showcasing your expertise, highlighting your industry involvement, or featuring key accomplishments.
  3. LinkedIn background photo vs. stock images: While stock images work in some cases, a personalized LinkedIn background photo is usually better. It adds authenticity and uniqueness to your profile. If incorporating stock images, ensure they align with your professional narrative.
  4. Company logo: If applicable, include your company logo within the banner to reinforce your association with a particular organization. This enhances brand consistency and communicates your professional affiliation.
