LinkedIn is one of those tried-and-true social media platforms that is beyond trend or passing fad. It’s one of the most popular professional networking and development platforms, and with good reason. And while most are familiar with the site for its most foundational use cases – like creating a personal account – it is important to also know how to utilize LinkedIn for Businesses as well. It can be hugely beneficial to your business!
Did you know that you can create a Company Page for your business on LinkedIn? Here’s why you should get your business on LinkedIn, and how you can make the most of it.
Tell Your Story. LinkedIn affords the opportunity to showcase your business to the world. It’s a wonderful platform to announce company news and updates, discuss trends in your industry or within the largest market, and to provide the network with a sense of who you are and what you do in context. I implore you to use LinkedIn to your advantage and to take the time to tell the story of your business the way you want it to be told, and to hone your business’s editorial voice on the platform. It’s great for brand awareness and reinforcement! Keep updating your profile so that your audience can stay in the know about everything related to your business.
Write and Share. LinkedIn also allows space for detailed content that is easily shareable and accessible among your network. There are so many different ways and formats to share content across the platform. From presentations to blog posts to infographics, webinars and podcasts, there are countless ways to create, share and interact on the platform.
Get Noticed. Simply just having an active LinkedIn profile for your business can boost your organization’s online presence greatly. LinkedIn company pages as well as their posts will help you improve your overall search engine result page ranking. Focusing on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will potentially lead to higher traffic to your profile as well as your website, improving your business’ overall visibility.
Boost Your Network. LinkedIn serves as an extremely powerful networking tool. Promote your profile to build a strong following, and continuously connect directly with those in your industry/market, community, and targeted audience.
