How to create a business page
More and more businesses are getting ahead with social networks. However, nothing compares to LinkedIn for companies that want to mark their territory in the professional world.
For this reason we are going to explain step by step how you can create your own unique space on LinkedIn:
- Access your LinkedIn profile or the one you want to have as administrator of the page you are going to create
- Once in the account you have to click on the work tab that appears at the top right with the icon of a few squares.
- Once the menu has been opened you have to click on the last option: create company page.
4. You have now reached the moment where you have to create your page. Add your company name and the URL you want to show on LinkedIn.
You also have to mark the check box, thus confirming that you have the right to act on behalf of the company.
The URL of the page:
- It must contain at least one non-numeric character
- You can include lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and Unicode characters in Japanese, Korean, or Chinese
- You cannot include hyphens at the beginning or end. Also, two hyphens in a row are not allowed in the URL
Heads Up! Any character that is not allowed by the platform will automatically be replaced by a hyphen.
LinkedIn will ask you for other information such as:
- Company type
- Company size (measured in number of workers)
- Main sector of the company
- Year of creation
✅ Now you have created your company page!
Once the LinkedIn for Business page is created; it’s time to customize it:
- Add a profile picture: the company logo or the image with which the public recognizes it
- Upload a cover image.
- Write a description of your business: if someone re-enters your page, they have to know what your company does. This must be between 250 and 2,000 characters.
How to improve your company page
Have you already created the page? Now it’s your turn to optimize and improve it as much as you can to increase your reach and get more followers. Here are some tips:
