LinkedIn Adds SEO Titles for Articles & Newsletters
LinkedIn has introduced a small SEO tool for articles and newsletters, enabling authors to set an SEO title and description similar to CMS systems. The title can be up to 60 characters, and the description up to 160 characters. The options are accessible in the Publishing menu within the article composer under Settings. The feature is being rolled out in phases and is expected to reach all users soon, per Kevin D. Turner. Adjustments can be made after publication, allowing creators to control how their LinkedIn content is indexed and displayed in search results. By providing SEO metadata, LinkedIn content may become easier to discover via Google, Bing, and other search engines, potentially driving more off-platform traffic for newsletters and articles. This adds parity with conventional SEO workflows and gives creators more control over visibility on the platform.
New LinkedIn SEO feature for articles/newsletters; minor platform feature with potential impact on content discovery.

LinkedIn now lets you set post URLs
The newsletter reports two actionable shifts for marketers: ChatGPT has reprioritized official websites when answering queries, causing Reddit citations to plunge (reported drop from 3.8% to 0.5%), which increases the importance of brand-owned pages (pricing, competitor comparisons, and succinct FAQs) for being cited by AI. Separately, LinkedIn constructs post URLs from the first line of text by default but provides a hidden option to override and set a custom URL — a small, free change that can improve search and AI discoverability. The author links to an AEO playbook and data supporting these observations.
