The importance of LinkedIn company homepage and detailed explanation of its creation process
The core of LinkedIn marketing lies in the construction and maintenance of the company’s homepage. Whether it is to promote the company or products, or to expand business networks and explore sales opportunities through LinkedIn, having a complete company homepage is a crucial first step.
LinkedIn company homepage is not only a place to display your brand image, but also serves as a social media marketing platform to interact with fans. Many companies post job postings on LinkedIn, and more companies see it as a bridge to communicate with users. For companies that want to use LinkedIn for overseas marketing, they need to pay special attention to the cases of companies that already use LinkedIn as a marketing channel.
LinkedIn Pages are similar to Facebook Pages in that they are used to post news and interact with fans. However, there are unique aspects to creating and managing a LinkedIn Page.
Company homepage layout
LinkedIn’s company homepage needs to be created through a personal account. The homepage layout includes company name, page background image, company avatar, company description, business field and other elements. The company’s logo and name will be displayed on the upper left side of the page, with a “+Follow” button next to it. After users follow a company, they can see the company’s latest updates every time they log in to LinkedIn.
