You Need A LinkedIn Business Page and today LinkedIn expert Michaela Alexis tells us why! Are you sleeping on LinkedIn? Many of us are but there is an even more powerful tool that you should be maximizing and that is LinkedIn Business Pages.
With 610 million users, LinkedIn is all about building networks and connections. It’s not only about who you know, but about who your connections know.
That’s the real power of LinkedIn for business: the ability to tap into existing connections and grow your brand through word-of-mouth. It’s also the top-rated social network for lead generation. If your LinkedIn marketing strategy is limited to a personal profile—especially one with an out-of-date, bare-bones resume—it’s time to up your game. You need a detailed Company Page if you want to grow your audience and drive business results.
In fact completed LinkedIn Business Pages (Company Pages) generally receive twice as many visitors than those with incomplete pages. And organizations that post at least monthly generally gain followers six times faster than those that don’t.
LinkedIn Company Pages used to be viewed primarily as HR landing pages for brands. Though this is still one way to use LinkedIn, the network is also becoming the perfect place to drive business results, raise brand awareness, promote career opportunities, and educate potential customers on your products and services. Rich content and compelling status updates can help to establish your brand as a leader in your industry.
Setting up a company page is simple—but don’t let that lull you into slapping something together without a LinkedIn for business strategy to maximize your page’s benefits. Rather than simply racking up followers and connections, think about how you can use LinkedIn marketing tools to uncover new opportunities to grow.
