LinkedIn Help: Offer services with your profile (Service Pages)

What a Service Page is

A Service Page is a section of your personal LinkedIn profile that lists the services you offer, with a short description, where you work, whether you work remotely and, optionally, a starting hourly rate. It makes your services show up in LinkedIn search and gives people a clear place to contact you about work. For a direct freelancer, it turns a student or job-seeker profile into one that also says "I can be hired for this".

What the guide covers (as of 2026-09)

LinkedIn's help article walks through the setup on desktop and mobile:

• Adding the Services section from your profile.
• Choosing the services you provide from LinkedIn's list.
• Writing an optional About description of your services and experience.
• Setting your work location and ticking whether you are open to remote work.
• Optionally showing a starting hourly rate, or choosing "Contact for pricing". LinkedIn describes the starting price as the minimum you charge, not a final price.
• Optionally letting anyone message you regardless of connection degree.

Creating a Service Page is free. Adding media such as documents, photos and videos to it, and some lead features, need a Premium Business, Sales Navigator or Recruiter Lite subscription, according to the same article.

Is it worth your time?

Yes, if you plan to find clients directly. It costs nothing, and it works with the rest of your direct setup: a headline that says what you do for whom, a portfolio link in your featured section and posts about work you have done. It will not bring clients on its own; people still need to see you and remember you, which comes from your network, referrals and posting.

Tips for a student or early-career freelancer

• Pick only the services you can deliver now. Three related services are clearer than ten.
• Write the About text for a business owner, not a recruiter: the problem you solve, for whom and a link to a case study.
• If you are unsure about pricing, "Contact for pricing" is better than a rate that is too low to keep.
• Make sure your headline, Service Page and portfolio site describe the same service in the same words.

Common questions

Do I need a company page? No. Service Pages are part of your personal profile.

Will recruiters think I am not open to jobs? You can be open to both; many people list services while studying or working.
