Interviewing in multiple locations and confused what to indicate as location on LinkedIn. I currently have my former role on LinkedIn but I'm interviewing for roles in my current city as well as a few metropolises. It's not that I don't know what I want but that there are more opportunities for my field in other locations. That beings said, I don't want to make the move if I can find a position in my hometown. While job searching, even though the position was listed on Linkedin or Indeed, I apply for the role on the company's website. When I do, they look at LinkedIn instead when I want them to concentrate on my resume.

if all localities are in the same state, then modify your linked in profile to just mention the state.

Good idea, thank you!

How do you know they're looking at your LinkedIn profile?

I receive notification that the company I'm interviewing for or have submitted a resume with has viewed my profile. I have 1K LinkedIn contacts and I'm a frequent user and commenter. That being said, due to my career trajectory, my resume is easier to understand than my LinkedIn profile with its multiple countries and industries. On my resume, I'm able to group the positions but don't have that opportunity on LinkedIn.

If you're in the US, you can list your location as "United States".
