Creating a LinkedIn Company Page, You’ll Want to Show Off

You should treat your LinkedIn Company page as an extension of your marketing efforts.  Look at it this way: it’s a free marketing medium that Google keeps at the top of its stack, and it’s full of possibilities.  Here are a few tips and tricks to optimize your Inbound digital marketing efforts using your LinkedIn company page.

Strategize: What’s going to get you the most attention?

Image & Page Description:

You need grab your audience’s attention and keep it long enough for them to act. The best way to do this is give your audience something of value and make it clear in your images and content you produce what that is.  Items of value can range from information on a new product launch that solves one of their needs, an event your company is hosting or an announcement on expanding your team and what that means to them.  LinkedIn allows you to easily change your page, so take advantage of this and plan your strategy for the next quarter by outlining what you want to share with the public.

Content Strategy:

What to keep in mind when creating your strategy:

1. Who is your target audience? Keep your top client personas in mind
2. Formulate your company description to speak to your personas
   • Tell them exactly who you’re targeting and what you have to offer them
3. Create a clear Call To Action
