How Linkedin Works for Business

Why Creating a LinkedIn Business page Page?

A LinkedIn Page acts as the voice of your organization on LinkedIn. It helps members learn more about your business or school, brand, products and services, and job opportunities. To interact with members on LinkedIn as an organization, you must have a LinkedIn Page.
LinkedIn is the best platform to promote a business to business companies. This network is becoming the perfect place to drive business results, raise brand awareness, promote career opportunities, and educate potential customers on your products and services.
Before creating a Page for your school (including high schools) or company, you’ll need to create a LinkedIn profile with your real first and last name. Page creation is currently available on desktop only.

Adding LinkedIn to your marketing strategy can help you expand your network, find clients/customers, and create a professional image for you and your business.
