LinkedIn Business Page: Which Strategy to Start With?

LinkedIn is a platform that so many people use every day for different social affairs. It is the most popular business-oriented social network right now in different countries around the world and people can use it for finding jobs, mentors, potential investors, learn different things (from LinkedIn Learning or other users’ posts), canceling their LinkedIn learning or canceling their LinkedIn premium, etc. but one of the most important things in LinkedIn is marketing. I mean, it is a business-focused platform at first. This is why people might ask LinkedIn business page: which strategy to start with?

LinkedIn: how to use it for business?

LinkedIn announced the company pages to help the companies to have a much more effective interaction on this platform and to let the marketing experts do marketing under their companies’ brands. It was a huge revolution in B2B and B2C marketing and this huge step was the most important thing that convinced the marketers to focus their efforts on this social platform. A recent study shows that more than one-third of the online B2B marketing traffic is happening on LinkedIn and that is for more than 50 million company pages on this platform.

I am going to give full guidance about LinkedIn company pages. We will cover how to use a LinkedIn company page to develop your business, how to attract people to your business account, the strategies you can use, etc.

But first of all, you need to know that it is so critical to optimize your profile as much as possible. Why? Because with a professional profile, you will have a much better chance of expanding your connections and everyone knows that a huge connection network is one of the first keys to getting successful on LinkedIn. The other reason is that people can trust a company’s services and products much easier when the company page admin has a professional profile. Imagine that you enter this dress shop with a perfect set up and everything. You choose a dress and then you see the owner, and you think “OMG, what?” The owner of the shop is a dirty man with unkempt hair, a beard that reaches his chest and his clothes are torn up and patched in many places. He’s wearing slippers instead of shoes and constantly scratches himself. Will you buy that dress or will you flee that store? I leave the dress instantly and run for my life. That is the exact scenario when you are the admin of a company page and have an unprofessional profile. So let’s go step for step and see how to optimize our LinkedIn profile, shall we?

How to optimize LinkedIn profile for recruiters?

Every single section must get optimized, but I am going to talk about the three golden ones. The head line, the profile photo, the experiences.

Photo: It might not feel that big a deal, yet it is one of the most important sections of your LinkedIn profile. This section is the first thing people see from your profile. It needs to be attractive and professional. You know that people do judge a book by its cover, while they should not. That is just like that dress shop scenario. They won’t buy a single thing from there because they will get scared off by the appearance of the owner.

First impressions are too important to be ignored. A good profile photo is a huge element for your self-branding on LinkedIn. It completes your resume and also encourages people to view your profile. LinkedIn experts claim, a professional profile picture increases the profile views by about 20 times, increases the received messages 36 times, and increases the connection requests rate 9 times more. So pick a photo with a plain background and don’t use the ones you took at parties or picnics or with your friends. Also it is suggested to smile in your pictures.

Headline: headline is the second thing people will see from your profile but is usually the first thing that makes them click on it. You see, people usually have a special goal while searching on LinkedIn and I do not only mean the recruiters, I mean everyone. So choose a headline that is professional and also explains what you are good at and what you can do for people to encourage them to view your profile.

Experiences: the most important section of a LinkedIn profile is the experiences and everyone will review it. It is said that people usually spend only one to three minutes reviewing a profile and they spend most of it viewing the work experiences. So take special care for this part, it is suggested to add a short description of your experiences and tell your audience what you used to do. Now that you optimized your profile, let’s talk about creating a company page, all right?

How does creating a business on LinkedIn help you?

LinkedIn is the one and only business-oriented platform and since more than 30% of the B2B marketing traffic is from LinkedIn, it is said that having a business page on this social network is so important. There are so many things you can do with a company page, like finding lead generation, advertising your products and services, proving to be trustworthy, increasing your website traffic, etc. just by one business account and the correct strategies.

Now, a lot of people might already have their business page on other platforms like Facebook and Instagram, so why should they even bother having another one on LikedIn? Well, it is correct that you can sell your products and services on other platforms as well, but if you want people to see your business as a professional one, LinkedIn is the way. Besides, there are so many opportunities on LinkedIn that you won’t have on other platforms. I am talking about the futures like being able to define a target audience.

A LinkedIn company page is where you can introduce your products, encourage people to visit your company’s website, introduce your company, post informative content on it to build trust, attract job seekers to have an easier recruitment process, etc. There are many benefits in establishing a business page and I am going to mention some of them here for you.

Content production

Content is the main pillar of any social media and LinkedIn is no exception. The importance of publishing valuable content is even more sensible in company pages, because when you publish informative posts in different formats like texts, articles, photos, videos, slideshare, infographics, webinars, and podcasts, you are proving to be a trustworthy source and that will increase the outcome of your marketing efforts.

LinkedIn says that your company is to post updates as much as possible. The stats show that if you are a company that publishes nearly 20 times a month, on average, your posts will reach 60% of your followers and 20% of the followers are definitely reached every time.

So, now that you are producing posts, it is better to take special care of the content. We all know that spam-like posts will not get to be shared or engaged with, let alone going viral. I don’t mean not to post marketing content, just don’t forget to publish informative and valuable posts as well, in order to convince the followers that you are to be trusted.

Products

Most of the people who are following a brand on social platforms have five reasons: promotions and discounts, latest product information, customer service, entertaining content, and ability to offer feedback. The more interesting fact is that more than half of the sellers say that it is much easier to generate leads through LinkedIn.

You can introduce any new products and services you’ve just launched and let the prospects know how it would help them. Also, you can cite your website for those more eager visitors to attain more information about that specific product or service.

Differentiation

LinkedIn is the best place to distinguish your company from its competitors. In order to do that, it is suggested to publish your business news regularly, also it is very beneficial to share some information about your company culture to attract job seekers to your corporation and to encourage them to apply for different job vacancies you have. Use infographics and photos to illustrate a clear image of your company to the users who are visiting your page.

Recruitment

Have you ever participated in the recruitment processes? I did. I was at the HR department of an IT company for several months, and boy it was so hard. So I know that the more options you have while you are choosing candidates to ask them to come for a job interview the easier and more effective the recruitment process will be.

It is very important to find candidates who can make a significant and positive change in every business. LinkedIn profiles are live evidence about people’s experiences, skills, education, work stability, accomplishments, etc. When you have a correct strategy on your company page, the best candidates send you their resumes every time you advertise a job. There are also times that people apply for getting employed in your company even without that ad, and it is just for the sake of that positive image you presented on your business page, of your company culture.

Ranking

To be honest, most of the things that IT teams in every company do, is for the sake of Google and other search engines ranking. Now, imagine that you can increase your company pages rank easily and with no every-second effort. A professional company page does that for you. You see, Google is ranking LinkedIn posts in an unstoppable rhythm, when it ranks the posts that you published on your company page, many people will see them, and when they click on the link and enter your company page, the traffic of your page will increase.

If you Linked your website to your company page, a lot of them get encouraged to visit the website as well, so the click rate of your website will also increase and that is when the Google algorithms and crawler robots get attracted to your website and they will definitely increase your website’s rank on Google.

Brand awareness

As LinkedIn business defined the term “LinkedIn hosts an ever-expanding member base of more than 840 million professionals who use the platform to network, research and grow their careers. This mindset and intent make LinkedIn a uniquely powerful social media channel for B2B marketers. Offering a full suite of products to help companies gain relevant visibility and recognition with their most valuable audiences, LinkedIn has proven a sound branding investment, which is why 97% of B2B marketers utilize it for their content marketing efforts.”

People must be aware of your brand, what it does and what you offer them to be able to decide whether they like to use it or not. A business account can help you increase your brand awareness. So react to posts as your company page, publish valuable content, have content strategy.

How to set up a business page on LinkedIn?

It actually is very easy to create a business page on LinkedIn and guess what? You can have more than one business account on this platform. Yes, you can have one page for each one of your product lines. Do you have an IT services company that provides web designing services and also designs apps and games? I believe it is better to have a separate company page for each one of them to not only make your brand look professional, but also to be able to focus on every one of them separately and attract the more interested people to the correct business page. Let’s first learn how to create a business page on desktop and on mobile. Then we will talk about how a company page can let you develop your business.

Desktop:

The easiest method is to create the company pages on the desktop.

1. Log in to your account
2. Click on the ‘work’ icon on the top right corner of your feed page.
3. Click on the ‘+Create a Company Page ’ button.
4. Select the type of business page (small, medium, or large business, showcase page, or educational page).
5. Enter the company information in the boxes.
6. Click the ‘Create page’ button.
7. 

LinkedIn Business Page on Mobile phone:

We use our phones to do everything nowadays. We order a pizza, find jobs, communicate with other people, buy and sell, work, etc. So why not create a Linkedin company page as well? You can create a business account on your phone, but not through the LinkedIn app, but on your phone browser.

1. Open a browser on your phone
2. Open LinkedIn on the browser 
3. Tap on the three dots on the top right corner
4. Activate desktop site/mode
5. Once you are in the LinkedIn desktop mode
6. Click on the ‘work’ icon on the top right corner of your feed page
7.  Click on the ‘Create a Company Page +’ button
8.  Select the type of business page
9.  Enter the company information in the boxes.
10.  Click the Create page button.

LinkedIn is an essential place to be if you are having any kind of business. Are you an engineer? An architecture? A nurse? A contract killer? Yeah, you still need to be on LinkedIn and a lot of us need to have a good company page to have more effective marketing and communication with our clients, prospects, potential investors, to employ and advertise, and to have a successful branding in LinkedIn. All of these can be done by creating a killing page and optimizing it the best way possible.

LinkedIn business page optimization is not that hard, and it is something that must be done if you want to have a successful interaction with LinkedIn users.

As we mentioned above, your image is the first thing people see from your profile. A great logo is the same. It acts as an attractive and shiny store sign that lures people to your shop in a dark and cold evening. People search a product, industry, etc. and they see that logo, they get tickled to view your page and then you probably have some new prospects.

Yes, I know marketing doesn’t work like that but a nice logo can play as a key element. Don’t forget about the profile banner as well. It is the best place for even more creativity, putting some CTA or even some claims, using some graphic pictures or images. Thankfully there is no rule in this place except the sizing rule. For instance, when you take a look at the “Killer brownie co.” company page, you see that they used a banner that says “the killer brownie co., THE OFFICIAL BROWNIE OF THE CINCINNATI BENGALS.” As you can see they used their banner to claim something and it worked perfectly, because even when you search for a contract killer, this page is the first one that LinkedIn algorithms show you in the primary results.

• Using the keywords is one of the best ways to help people find you and one of the best places you can use them is in the about section. I always say one image can speak thousands of words, but still people need to read about you, your brand history, and what you can offer them. You have 2000 characters (about 150 words) to tell your audience about the company. Use simple language and don’t forget the keywords that are aligned with your goals. Try to answer the below questions in this part:
• Who are you?
• Where are you based?
• What do you offer?
• What are your values?
• What is your brand voice?
• How can people contact you to learn more?
• Regular posing and having a timetable for that is another optimization way. As the statistics show, companies with regular posts see two times more engagement and you know what that means? They will get to be seen by other users who are not following the company page two times more. You have so many options for content production. You can post short texts, articles about the industry you are working in (very suggested), related news, images, videos, documents, etc. any kind of content that can assure people that you are a reliable information source is worthy enough, just have a schedule for publishing them.

• Having audiences that are interested in your services and products or even the information you are giving them is the ultimate goal of every company page. Invite your first connections to follow the business page (one of the many reasons to expand your network), define target audience for your posts in the company page (click on the ‘who can see the post’ and select target audience, then use the filters to send the post in some specific people’s feed), use up to three hashtags on your page and posts to reach those unreachable users, tag employees whenever you post new content, promote the page whenever you can, even by commenting as a company page or introducing it in related groups. Well, unfortunately, you cannot be a member of the groups as a company page.
• It is reported that when you promote your company culture online, 69% of job seekers are more likely to apply to your page on LinkedIn, by glass door website. Also LinkedIn claims that job seekers are 1.8 times more likely to apply for a position when they are familiar with the company. So if you want to have an easy and effective recruitment, keep informing people about your company culture.
• Take special care for LinkedIn algorithms. Linkedin is just like other social platforms and it keeps updating its algorithms to show more attractive and interesting content to its users. That is why it is very important for you as the company pages admin to always be informed of these changes to arrange your content the way it gets to your audience’s feed.

• The events are a perfect way to optimize your LinkedIn Business page. While the virtual events are necessary to increase your sales, virtual events are something that forms the community you hope for and attracts many people to your page.

LinkedIn strategy for business

So, many people might say that it is not like LinkedIn is the only platform where you can change your account into a business one. Many of the businesses still choose Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram, so what is this fuss over LinkedIn? That is true, a lot of companies are active on the mentioned platforms, but none of them are dedicated to business, none of them has LinkedIn features, none of them has over 840 million users who are focused on business affairs, etc.

LinkedIn is the biggest social network for professionals and with more than 55 million active companies, it is one of the biggest lead generation sources in the whole virtual world. But entering this platform and having a successful business in it, needs strategies and I am going to give some tested strategies here.

The profile

As mentioned, you need to optimize your profile before you even think of creating a business account. So take special care about your profile sections.

Connections

I always say that your connections are your biggest asset in a platform like LinkedIn. The bigger your network is, the more successful you will get. But that doesn’t mean you just request anyone and everyone on LinkedIn. Let’s be realistic, there is a connection limit on LinkedIn and not all of your connections will be interested in what you do, so let’s be pickier. Thankfully you can look for people on LinkedIn based on many factors like their location, profession, their college, etc. It is better to have potential clients and experts your connections instead of random people.

Engagement

All right you are no James Bond, so don’t get scared of starting a conversation under a post. This will get people attracted to you and when they get engaged with you, it is time to introduce your brand and invite them to follow your company page. Not all of these people will be your future prospects, but it is effective, even if you attract just one real client.

Groups

Groups are the best places to find valuable followers for your company. Although you cannot be a member of a group as your company page, you can repost the content you shared on your company page to the group, especially the articles and industry news that are perfect to attract group members to visit your company page. Why are groups so important? Because they are full of opportunities and there are many people there who are interested in your field of work. You can find clients, investors, new talents, etc. while you are promoting your brand in the groups.

Audience taste

It is very important to find out what content format your followers like most. Do they get engaged better with the articles shared to your company page? Do they like videos, photos and infographics better? Do they prefer to read news and short texts? You need to find what type of content the majority prefers by experimenting.

Hashtags

Hashtags can be your ambassadors, they can act as a campaign line. You can introduce your brand and your area of expertise to people who do not know you. People follow different hashtags and see the posts that are published under those specific hashtags. It is suggested to use up to three to four related hashtags under your posts, but remember, although you don’t have a limit for hashtags, it is better not to overdo it. It makes your post look unprofessional and makes people think of you as a profiteer and that is the exact opposite of what we want people to think.

Repost

Although it is really good to post your creative content, reposting other people’s content on your company page can also have some benefits and can be a nice strategy.

Tag people

It is one of LinkedIn’s best features that you can link your employees to your company page. Make sure that they update their profiles regularly, tag an employee to your posts every once in a while and celebrate their efforts and accomplishments in the company page. It will get them motivated and make people trust you and your company much easier.

Stories

Publish inspiring stories every now and then. People love to read these stories and they have a very high engagement rate as the statistics show. Tell people how you establish your brand and talk about the easier and harder days you had to get here but please do not go overboard.

Know your audience

Start a conversation with people who just started following you and ask them to introduce themselves to you and ask them about the content they prefer. It is a perfect strategy especially when you just started to invite people to follow your company page.

Be careful about spamming

It is very important to be very careful not to spam your followers and only use the direct message for the necessary occasions. Just because you can message the followers as the admin, doesn’t mean you should.

Content calendar

It is so important to publish regularly. Many company pages have a schedule for that and the stats show that the companies which know how often they should post on LinkedIn and have a content calendar for that, perform much better.

Call to action

Having one ot more CTA in your posts (especially the ones with marketing content) is so critical. Your clients must always know what they should do then. Always use call to action phrases at the end of the posts. For instance tell them to visit your website, call for consultation about buying a product or purchasing a service, have a look at your other posts in the company page, etc. and please, never turn off the comments on LinkedIn business account posts, they are too important for the sake of your company page ranking, engagement, marketing, etc.

You pay what you get

LinkedIn advertisements are one of the most expensive ones among social platforms, but they will definitely generate some very high-quality leads. This is for the nature of the platform. You can always filter the target audience, groups, companies, etc.

LinkedIn company pages and the things you should know

I am going to talk about five different topics here that I am sure you can use one day. First of all let’s see how to transfer the company page ownership. Usually an employee manages company pages on LinkedIn that is totally fine, the CEO and the managers usually don’t have that kind of time and there can be a social media team in every company. The problem occurs when the employee that is acting as the admin of your company page decides to leave the corporate for good and that is when you need to transfer the page into another admin. There are some steps that you need to follow in order to transfer a LinkedIn page.

1. Make sure that you have Admin/Editor access to the page you want to transfer
2. Then you need to have the account you want to transfer the page to, as your contact
3. Log into the company’s LinkedIn account
4. Find the search bar on the left corner and search the name of the new admin you chose
5. Click on the suggestion and when you are in (their profile) click the connect button
6. Now that they accepted your request, click on the “Me” icon on the right corner
7. Select the company page
8. Click on the admin tools,
9. select manage admins
10. click on “add new admin by the name”
11. Type the new admin’s LinkedIn name

The second problem that you might have is how to claim a company page on LinkedIn? You know that LinkedIn auto-generates pages for the companies that people list in their experiences, but the companies are not having a business account on LinkedIn, right? That can get problematic when you already have a page or decided to create one. Because people already listed another page in their experiences and when you create a company page, it can get users confused. So you need to claim that page.

1. List working in that company the way it becomes the leader of your experiences section
2. Sign out of your account and sign in again (suggested)
3. Go back to your profile and click on that company page you want to claim
4. You’ll get redirected to the auto-created listing where you can see the name of the company
5. You will see a button that says “Claim this page” at the top right corner of the page
6. Click on that and then confirm that you are allowed to do this

Another matter that is so critical for the company pages is to know how to add a company logo to LinkedIn. You see, these little unique pictures are your brand’s identity, the thing that people know you with and that is so important to be added to the company page you are using for branding, marketing, etc. on LinkedIn. Also there are some cases where the employee wants to add the logo into their experiences section. So let’s see how to do both.

Admin:

If you are the administrator, just log into your personal profile and click on your profile photo to see your company page under the manage headline. When you enter the company page, scroll down to see the “Edit Page” button and click on it. Click on the page info then click on the pencil icon under the “Page logo”, select your logo and click on “save”. Congrats! You’ve just added your company logo to LinkedIn.

Employee:

As an employee who works in a company, you probably want to add the companies you’ve worked with or are working with to your profile. It’s so easy, just enter your LinkedIn account, click on your profile photo, and select the “view profile” option. Once you are in, scroll down to experience. The companies you’ve worked with must have a company page on LinkedIn so you can add their page and their logo to your profile. Click on the “+” icon and add your position and the company name and hit the save button. Now you can see that job experience and the company logo in the “experiences” section of your profile

Another thing that you might want to do as a growth strategy or for another reason is rebranding, that is when you need to know how to change a company name on LinkedIn. You can change many things in a company page that you are the super admin of. But name changing really depends on the company’s size.

If it is a small company with less than 10 employees, you can change the name easily. Just log into the company page as the super admin, click on the edit page, go to the page info in the pop-up window and change the name.

Remember, only because you changed this name it doesn’t mean the name is automatically changed in the employee’s personal LinkedIn experiences section. Inform them by Employee Notifications service. This feature will help you to notify anyone who works or used to work in your company and add your company page aware of the changes you’ve made, so they can update their profile as well.

In case you have a large company page, you need to use the LinkedIn support service. Complete the form and then post an update to inform the employees and the followers that you are rebranding and what the reason for doing so is.

Last but not the least is how to delete or deactivate a company page. This task is super easy to do when you are the super admin of a company page. Sometimes we believe that deactivating a company page is the best strategy we can use at that moment. So let’s see:

1. log in to your account, click on ‘Me’
2. Select the company page you want to delete
3. Once you are on the company page, click on ‘Admin tool’
4. Choose ‘Deactivate Page’ from the dropdown menu
5. In the pop-up window, you see that the platform is warning that all of the data you have on this page will be gone forever after you delete the page
6. Check the box that says: “By clicking Deactivate, I confirm that I understand the implications of deactivating the Page”
7. Click on the ‘Deactivate, button

There are some conditions you need to be aware of, before you decide to delete a company page.

• It should be active
• You need to be the super admin
• The company page must have no showcases or career pages or any other associated pages
• Employees who listed this page in their experiences section must be less than 100
• There should not be any active ad campaigns
• Company must still be under the ownership of the previous owner

Conclusion

LinkedIn is one of the biggest social platforms right now with more than 840 million users and more than 55 million companies that are active in it. LinkedIn also is the one and only social network that is business-oriented. So it is only natural that the experts believe having a company page on LinkedIn is necessary for having successful marketing for your brand.

In this article, I talked about the LinkedIn business page: which strategies to use. I gave you some information about mostly anything you need to know about a company page and some valuable backlinks in case you liked to read the more precise articles. So if you have a business account or decided to create one, learn how to manage it first.
