How to Like, Comment, and Share Posts as a Company on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is an incredible social media platform to gain visibility for your company. It offers a plethora of features to company CEOs & business owners to engage with potential employees as well as clients.

One way to do that is by participating as a company or business in the conversation instead of as an individual.

In other words, you need to engage with others on LinkedIn by liking, commenting, and sharing other people’s posts via your Linkedin company page.

Unfortunately, only a few companies leverage this feature to their advantage.

If you manage the LinkedIn page of your company, you’d be happy to know that it’s very straightforward to engage with others on the platform as a company.

Benefits of Engaging with a LinkedIn Business Page

There are numerous benefits of engaging on LinkedIn as an official company page.

Here are the 5 most important benefits of using your LinkedIn company page to engage with others.

Build Professional Network

If you’re a business owner, LinkedIn is by far the best social media platform that offers a perfect environment for building your professional network.

On LinkedIn, you can read reviews, check certifications, work experience, and a lot more before making contact with a new connection.

Plus, when you visit a potential connection’s profile, it will reveal the degree of separation between you and the potential connection.

In simple words, LinkedIn allows you to see mutual connections with third parties. As a business, this information can be really helpful in growing your professional network as well as clientele.

For example, if you look at one of your employee’s LinkedIn profiles and your employee knows a potential client, LinkedIn will immediately show you that your employee knows one of the potential clients you’re highly interested in onboarding.

This can be incredibly helpful in making an introduction to a future client.

Increase Exposure for your Products or Services

Apart from the professional network, LinkedIn can increase exposure of your latest products or services.

You see, one of the reasons why the majority of people follow brands and company pages on social media is to be up to date about the latest products launched by them.

In fact, over 50% of companies have admitted that they’ve generated a considerable number of sales through social media platforms (including LinkedIn).

With your LinkedIn company page, you can promote your new products or services and explain how they’ll help potential customers.

Additionally, you can also include links to your product pages on your website to help potential customers find more information and make a purchase.

Draw Quality Employees

On top of increasing exposure for your products or services, your LinkedIn company page also allows you to post job opportunities.

LinkedIn is already a preferred platform for members seeking employment. And LinkedIn gives you a perfect opportunity to promote job vacancies at your organization and fill vacant positions with highly-qualified employees.

The LinkedIn job posting feature lets you share everything related to the specific job requirement including skills, years of experience, education qualifications, and so on.

Once you update the information, potential candidates will automatically start seeing your job vacancy on LinkedIn and even apply for the same directly on the platform.

Stand Out from Competitors

Standing out from competitors is vital to win potential clients in any industry. And LinkedIn gives you a unique opportunity with its company description feature.

In your company description, you can emphasize on how your company is different from your competitors in different aspects, share company news, and even talk about the company’s vision, mission, and values.

Apart from this, you can even share photos, infographics, and story-telling to establish an authentic and positive impression of your company on the platform.

Using photos, infographics, and other type of visuals gives more idea to your potential clients about how your company thinks and operates.

Attract New Prospects

Last but not least, LinkedIn offers a great opportunity to attract new prospects via recommendations from past clients.

For the uninitiated, LinkedIn recommendations are like customer reviews that are highlighted on your LinkedIn company profile.

By receiving recommendations on LinkedIn, you can present your company as a great service provider and use your past client’s testimonials as a proof.

After all, who wouldn’t want to hire a company that has numerous positive reviews from people who needed the same services as you do now?

Concluding Thoughts…

This is how you can like, comment, and share posts on LinkedIn as a company.

Hopefully, this little trick will help you to grow your company’s reputation and following on LinkedIn. So start engaging more often on LinkedIn as a company and you’ll start improving your company image as a reputable and trustworthy in no time!
