LinkedIn hid your SSI score. This is the free replacement.

For years anyone could open linkedin.com/sales/ssi and see their Social Selling Index — a 0-100 number across four dimensions: professional brand, right people, insights, and relationships. That page has quietly moved behind Sales Navigator. If you are not paying LinkedIn's sales subscription, you cannot check your SSI score anymore.

What was the LinkedIn SSI score good for?

SSI started as a sales-team metric but became shorthand for "is my LinkedIn strong enough?" across roles. Engineers used it to sanity-check profile changes. Recruiters used it as a rough correlate of activity. Career coaches referenced it. The removal left a hole.

Why we built Roast My LinkedIn

This tool is not the SSI number itself — LinkedIn does not license it. It is an independent, engineer-tuned score that fills the same slot: paste your public profile URL, get a 0-100 result in about thirty seconds, plus specific findings and copy-paste rewrites for headline, About section, and experience bullets. Free tier, no signup, no cookies.

How to check your LinkedIn profile score for free (post-SSI)

1. Copy your LinkedIn profile URL (the page at linkedin.com/in/<you>).
2. Paste it into the field at the top of this page.
3. Wait ~30 seconds. You get a 0-100 score, a percentile band, and the specific things dragging your profile down.
4. Copy the rewrites into your LinkedIn edit view.

What's different for engineers

The original SSI weighted signals that made sense for sales reps — outbound activity, breadth of connections, sales-flavored posts. That is the wrong scoring rubric for software engineers looking for their next senior, staff, or principal role. Our score cares about stack keywords recruiters actually search, quantified impact in your experience bullets, evidence of shipping (patents, publications, open-source), and whether your Featured section reinforces the target role or contradicts it. Same 0-100 shape, tuned to what tech hiring managers weight.
