Because I've been building my LinkedIn profile over the last couple of months today I wanted to test and see how good my profile actually is in the eye of potential employers, and not any employers, digital agencies located in the US!
But before we can go into the technical details here are a few of the things I've done obtain a complete and attractive LinkedIn profile:
Look for the jobs that have this tiny LinkedIn Apply badge, it means you can apply with your LinkedIn profile, it literally takes seconds to apply:

I'm sure there won't be many, but the ones that are interested will usually sign up if I contact them and treat them like a friend. Oh, and they'll get a discount to sweeten the deal
This is something I do to find clients, but a bit more advanced :D :D
Adding the heads of companies will always look good when someone checks out your profile. Another good thing that comes from it is that these people may just contact you directly on LinkedIn after you become a connection to them :D
I've had plenty of headhunters contact me because they found me through the LinkedIn search results, but these are typically worthless messages because they can't really do much with me since I don't have a degree. The people I look to work with the CEO's and Presidents of the companies. I'll usually send a message here and there after I get connected with someone who is high up at a company and just introduce myself. I won't pitch to them and say why they need my services, I'll just plant the seed of what I do and I'll try to carry on a basic conversation about either LinkedIn or their niche. People love talking about themselves so you can ask extremely basic stuff like "How's the weather been out there? It's absolutely miserable here". After about 10 conversations with these people, you can then see if they need your services. I say 10 because they will have their guard up for a while after you're a connection. They won't want to hear you pitching to them until after they know about you. You'll basically be a digital friend to them and they'll be more willing to hear what you have to say and they could even share your website or business with their friends, family or even their LinkedIn connections :D
I might just try out your method to see if I can get some good contract work from companies looking to build an SEO and Marketing team :D I'm sure there won't be many, but the ones that are interested will usually sign up if I contact them and treat them like a friend. Oh, and they'll get a discount to sweeten the deal :D

Truth be told I didn't even know you could apply for jobs directly on LinkedIn. I was aware that it is a social network aimed at professionals and that it can help you get jobs but I didn't quite understand how it went about that.
Your post has made this very clear. I am going to show this post to my husband and explain to him. He works in Human Resources, so this might be a good way for him to find people to employ when there are positions open. It might take a huge amount of pressure off of him.
In addition I can maybe keep an eye open for him for possible positions in case he wants to move jobs... Oh wow, this is incredible Cristian.
