Manage your public profile information
Control what sections of your public profile appear when people search for you on search engines.
You can set limits on how much information is displayed to LinkedIn members and people who aren’t signed in to LinkedIn by editing your public profile settings.
Important: After you make changes or edits to your public profile, it can take several weeks or months for search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing to detect changes and refresh. LinkedIn doesn’t control that refresh process, if you’re incorrectly appearing in search results on those sites, you can contact them directly to resolve incorrect search results.

Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, then click View profile. -
