Hinweis der Redaktion
In September 2012, LinkedIn announced a new look for its Company Pages. From a usability perspective, this release became an effort in bringing a better experience to LinkedIn members. But what did the rollout mean for marketers? As Mike Grishaver, Product Management & Monetization at LinkedIn, said, “this means a more powerful way to build relationships with your target audience on LinkedIn.” With its emphasis on visual and relevant content, LinkedIn’s new Company Pages now give businesses a more complete set of tools to do effective marketing. But why should you care about marketing on LinkedIn at all? We’ll let the facts speak for themselves.
Without putting any efforts into building your company on LinkedIn, chances aremany of your employees are updating their personal profiles to show where they work. Every person that connects with that profile may potentially click on your company name and be navigated to your Company Page. Take advantage of this!Many users can easily land on your page through simple LinkedIn browsing. Opinions will be formed based on the amount and type of informationdisplayed. Every employee has the opportunity to promote yourcompany - so use this to your advantage!
Company Pages on LinkedIn provide a section for talking about specific products. While you can create a business page on Facebook, on which you can describeyour various products as a whole and see which friends ‘Like’ that page, LinkedIn is much more robust from product awareness perspective. It can narrow yourtarget audience and allow you to add multiple products. Not only are consumers learning about the products and services your company offers, but they can also see how many of their connections have recommended them. This form of product awareness is hard to find, and better yet, able to be measured.
Did you know that LinkedIn Jobs appear in search results and on Twitter? By having a LinkedIn Company Page, you will greatly increase your visibility across the web. Additionally, LinkedIn is its own search engine for finding jobs and companies, and if you’re not there, you will have missed a great opportunity to be found by a prospect, lead, or potential employee.LinkedIn Company Updates allow you to link to marketing offers, drawing in leads who are in need of your content or deals. When you post updates to LinkedIn, just as you would on Facebook or Google+, you suddenly have the means to drive huge amounts of traffic and leads back to your website. In addition to Company Updates, your Products page has huge opportunity for lead generation with its call-to-action capabilities. The giant, clickable cover image can link to a product, service, or offer, which will help you find the right people with a high interest in what your company has to offer. Right below this call-to-action are trustedrecommendations from fans and recognizable connections. So if a prospect wasn’t totally convinced about your products’ value before, he or she will be now!
marketers,LinkedIn Company Pages provide excellent opportunities to highlight products and services, tell your company’s story, generate leads, engage with your audience, share career opportunities within your company, and drive word of mouth at scale. For your audience, LinkedIn Company Pages is a place to conduct product and service research and learn about company updates, industry news, job opportunities, and companies of interest.
The Overview space is incredibly important for making a good firstimpression. Why should someone become interested in your company?When was the company founded? By whom? Has your companyaccomplished anything noteworthy since its first days? In addition to your Summary section, the Overview tab includescompany updates, job postings, new hires. This feed is your company’s way of communicating important messages to your audience. Do you post company updates for your brand on Facebook and Google+? Well, you can also post these through LinkedIn’s Overview section.Even better, you have the ability to post offers such as e-books and webinars, which will generate leads that help grow your business.
Your Products (or Services) tab is a great place to collect recommendations and showcase what you sell. This tab is especially important because it enables you to drive traffic back to your website’sproducts/services page, which can ultimately drive sales.70% of people follow links posted by friends and family, which is exactly why LinkedIn recommendations exist. Users have the ability to see recommendations from trusted LinkedIn members and see exactly who these members are connected to. This adds a more personal feel to a brand’s products, one that you don’t necessarily get from a website.
The Followers Insights tab will show company update engagement, followerdemographics, company update impressions, and your follower progressincluding recent users, new followers, and member growth. Through these statistics, you are able to take an even deeper dive into your page analytics by viewing engagement by clicks, likes, comments, shares, and percentage. You can also narrow down your follower demographics by seniority, industry, function, region, company size, or employee/non-employee.
The great thing about Page Insights is that it shows page views and unique visitors by tab and how many clicks you’ve received on your Products page.
So you understand a bit more about your followers and page visitors, butyou’d like to learn more about what makes your business actually run.Who are the people that help make the company function and what arethey all about?With Employee Insights, you can learn exactly which employees have new titles, which have departed recently, which previous companies the employees came from, top skills and expertise these employees have, and which employees have received the most recommendations.Now that you have an understanding of what LinkedIn Company Pages involve, let’s take a look at the brand new changes LinkedIn has made to its Company Pages

Any company can add a Follow button to their website, making it easier for any consumer on the web to follow companies of interest on LinkedIn. When a user clicks the Follow Company button, as long as they are logged onto LinkedIn, they will automatically “follow” that company. If users are not logged on, a box will appear asking for their LinkedIn credentials.When those are typed in, they will automatically begin to follow the company. Companies will engage with users from their Company Page on LinkedIn and through status updates. Status updates will appear on a user’s LinkedIn homepage.
The information you see in the company pages comes from three sources: Capital IQ, Yahoo!, and LinkedIn user data.
