LinkedIn: Beyond the Basics
Is your LinkedIn company page working as hard as you are? With over 930 million professionals on the platform, an optimized LinkedIn presence is no longer optional, it’s essential for business growth, talent acquisition, and brand development.
Make the Most of LinkedIn Features
- Featured Section: Showcase your best content—recent awards, significant announcements, or testimonials—in this prime real estate at the top of your page. Rotate content regularly to keep visitors engaged.
- Events & Open Positions: Publishing events increases visibility and positions your organization as active and engaged. Posting open positions not only attracts talent but signals company growth to your broader audience.
- Short-Form Video: Leverage LinkedIn’s video capabilities to share authentic, concise content. 30-to 90-second videos showcasing company culture, product demonstrations, or thought leadership generates 5x more engagement than text posts.
LinkedIn’s AI Capabilities
- AI-Powered Search: Utilize LinkedIn’s AI search to find highly relevant connections and job candidates with increased precision.

- AI for Recruiting: Use AI-based tools to filter and find the best candidates for open roles.

Brand Alignment
- Graphics & Copy: Maintain visual consistency with your brand guidelines. Use your company colors, proper logo sizes, and consistent messaging tone. Ensure header images are professional and compelling.
- Employee Banners: Provide team members with branded profile banners to create a unified appearance. When employees use consistent company imagery, it strengthens brand recognition across the platform.
Drive Engagement
Employee Interactions: When team members like, comment on, and share company content, it dramatically expands reach through algorithmic boosts. Especially within the first few hours of posting.
Content shared by employees typically sees:
- 2x higher engagement rates than company shares alone.
