Fix these first
Rewrite the headline on your personal LinkedIn profile so it says what you make and for whom, in place of a job title.
Reply to every comment and message on the day it arrives, because a quick, clear answer from a production company stands out.
Send every profile link to the showreel page and not the home page, so a visitor lands straight on the work.
