What strong headlines have

  • Who you help — "helping SMEs…", "for startup founders…"
  • What you do — "grow revenue", "reduce manual work"
  • How (optional) — "with practical playbooks"

Good examples

  • "Helping SME founders reduce manual work with simple digital systems"
  • "I build clean sales processes for B2B service businesses"

Common mistakes

  • Job-title stacking: "CEO | Founder | Investor | Speaker"
  • Overloaded buzzwords without specifics
  • Using it as a resume instead of a value line
