LinkedIn Company Pages – 7 Best Practice Tips 2022
There is a lot of talk on LinkedIn about LinkedIn Company Pages. It’s been interesting to watch the evolution of this conversation over the last eighteen months. This time last year, the pushback was so fierce even I doubted their worth at one stage.
As you know, I stayed the course and trusted my knowledge and instinct. I enjoy the excitement as people look to LinkedIn Company Pages to build credibility, boost personal employee brands, attract top talent, and work as a 24/7 beacon for new business opportunities.
LinkedIn Members interact with LinkedIn Pages over 1.5B times per month.

However, enthusiasm isn’t all you will need to get the most out of your Company Page. If you want results, you will also need good knowledge of LinkedIn Page’s best practices for 2022.
LinkedIn Company Pages Best Practices 2022
1. Company Page Set Up
Don’t skip over the importance of setting up your Page. LinkedIn reports completed and active LinkedIn Pages to get 11x more clicks per follower. If you haven’t set up your Page, read our blog on “How to Create a LinkedIn Company Page.”
Hint: Pay particular attention to your cover image (banner), tagline and About section
2. Company Page Content
I’m sorry to disappoint if you hope this section will give you a content prescription for your company page. The time of day, frequency, and content format aren’t the right area to focus on. Instead, focus on content that would make the most significant difference to your dream client. What transformation can they expect from working with your business?
If you are stuck on Company Page content ideas, check out this post.
Hint: Company Page content is not about you or your business!
3. Build Employee Advocacy Program for Your Team on LinkedIn
Stop and think before jumping to make all of your employees engage with Company Page posts. When was the last time you did something just because you were told? Most likely never.
It would help if you met your employees where they are, and everyone will be different. Some people work best behind the scenes, others will require LinkedIn training and some will gladly create and engage.

4. LinkedIn Pages for Building a B2B Community
LinkedIn Pages are not a one-way broadcast. They are an opportunity for you to bring together a niche B2B community that interacts with your employees. It can be an ecosystem that covers suppliers, buyers, clients, peripheral services and users.
Building a community takes time, but it moves your followers from being commoditised to highly valuable brand ambassadors. Be sure to engage and respond to your community either in the comments or by the newly rolled out “Commenting as your Company Page” feature Commenting as your Company Page“.
Hint: With Product Pages being rolled out to more industries and groups attached to them, building communities will play in the future.
5. LinkedIn Company Page Admin Persistency
More than anyone, we understand the temptation to give in and wonder if your Company Page is adding any value at all. Keep an eye on the analytics and make sure the numbers are heading in the right direction over time.
Hint: Do not compare your Page engagement to your Profile engagement. They are not designed to work the same.
6. Stay Up to Date with Latest Company Page New Features
Don’t fall behind by not staying up to date with the latest new releases and features of Linkedin Company Pages. There are many new ways to get an advantage if you keep up to date.
