Personal Brand Audit
Find out what your online presence actually communicates — then make it intentional.
Most people's personal brand is an accident of their posting history. This workflow helps you audit what you currently communicate, decide what you want to communicate, and close the gap.
The Workflow
Gather your current presence
Collect links or descriptions of your bio, recent posts, LinkedIn summary, and any other public-facing content you have.
Run the audit
Ask AI to assess what your current presence communicates to a stranger.
Audit my personal brand based on these materials. My LinkedIn bio: [LINKEDIN_BIO] My Twitter/X bio: [TWITTER_BIO] A sample of recent posts I'm proud of: [SAMPLE_POSTS] My website or portfolio (description if you can't see it): [WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION] What I do professionally: [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] What I want to be known for: [DESIRED_REPUTATION] Please tell me, as if you're a stranger encountering me for the first time: 1. What do I come across as being about? (be specific and honest) 2. What's consistent across my presence? 3. What's inconsistent or confusing? 4. What's missing that would make my positioning clearer? 5. Rate my positioning clarity 1-10 and tell me what would get it to a 9
Replace: [LINKEDIN_BIO], [TWITTER_BIO], [SAMPLE_POSTS], [WEBSITE_DESCRIPTION], [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE], [DESIRED_REPUTATION]
Rewrite your bios
Use the audit findings to write a new, intentional bio for each platform.
Based on the audit, rewrite my professional bio for [PLATFORM]. What I actually do: [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] Who I help: [TARGET_AUDIENCE] My differentiator: [DIFFERENTIATOR] Proof points to include: [PROOF_POINTS] My personality that should come through: [PERSONALITY_TRAITS] Character limit: [CHARACTER_LIMIT] Write three versions: 1. Professional and direct 2. Warmer and personality-forward 3. Outcome-focused (what happens to people who engage with me) For each, mark: what makes it distinctive, what it sacrifices, who it would appeal to most.
Replace: [PLATFORM], [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE], [TARGET_AUDIENCE], [DIFFERENTIATOR], [PROOF_POINTS], [PERSONALITY_TRAITS], [CHARACTER_LIMIT]
All Prompts for This Workflow
Audit my personal brand as a stranger encountering me for the first time. LinkedIn bio: [LINKEDIN_BIO] Sample posts: [SAMPLE_POSTS] What I want to be known for: [DESIRED_REPUTATION] What I actually do: [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE] Tell me: what I come across as being about, what's consistent, what's inconsistent, what's missing. Rate positioning clarity 1-10 and tell me what gets it to a 9.
Replace: [LINKEDIN_BIO], [SAMPLE_POSTS], [DESIRED_REPUTATION], [PROFESSIONAL_ROLE]
Help me write a clear positioning statement for my personal brand. I am a [PROFESSIONAL_TITLE] who helps [TARGET_AUDIENCE] with [PRIMARY_PROBLEM]. Unlike others who do what I do, I [DIFFERENTIATOR]. I believe [CORE_BELIEF_THAT_GUIDES_MY_WORK]. Refine this into a crisp one-sentence positioning statement. Then write five variations with different emphases (audience-led, outcome-led, credibility-led, belief-led, differentiator-led).
Replace: [PROFESSIONAL_TITLE], [TARGET_AUDIENCE], [PRIMARY_PROBLEM], [DIFFERENTIATOR], [CORE_BELIEF_THAT_GUIDES_MY_WORK]
An honest audit of your current brand presence from a stranger's perspective, with specific inconsistencies flagged, and three rewritten bio versions optimized for different platforms and emphasis.
- →Ask someone who knows you professionally to review the audit without seeing it first. If they agree with the stranger's assessment, your work is clear. If they disagree, there's a gap.
- →Focus on the 'what's missing' section — presence problems are usually omission problems, not commission problems.
