Create your LinkedIn Page.

Usefulness of Company Pages on LinkedIn

A LinkedIn company page is a page dedicated to an organization. It can be intended for a company, but also for a school, an association or any other type of institution. The main objective of a company page is to share information on the activity of an organization (company life, products and services, recruitment, etc.).

On LinkedIn, a company page brings several advantages for brands, such as:

• Communicate more easily with your audience,

• Improve its visibility and strengthen its notoriety,

• Promote community engagement,

• Redirect to their website.

The different types of company pages on LinkedIn

There are three types of pages on the professional social network:

1. Company: this type of page allows you to present a company (TPE, SME and large companies).

2. Showcase page: this type of page is intended for an activity, a brand, or even a subsidiary. These pages are always linked to a parent page, that of the company.

3. Educational institution: This type of page is reserved for schools and universities. Unlike the other pages, the Educational Institution pages have an “alumni” tab, which aims to promote networking.
