LinkedIn page and ad account

To get ahead, a LinkedIn page and ad account are important tools for the process of advertising on the platform.

It is well known that LinkedIn is a place for professionals and organisations which makes it possible to connect with highly qualified individuals and the decision makers in the industry.

While this sounds cool, it makes even more sense to take advantage of the set-up, by taking your brand or business to the decision makers through advertising.

To set up a LinkedIn page;

Step One: Sign into your LinkedIn profile.

Click on ‘work’ then scroll to the bottom of that section and click on ‘create company page’

Next, choose the right category as provided on the next page. Your business can either be;

  • Small Business; Fewer than 200 employees
  • Medium to Large Business; More than 200 employees
  • Showcase Page; To link your page to an already existing page
  •  Educational Institutions; For Schools and Universities

For this LinkedIn Page, I would choose a small business.
