How to set up a Linkedin Company Page

What is Linkedin?
LinkedIn social networking website for people in professional jobs. Users can make connections with other people they have worked post their work experience and skills, look for jobs, and look for workers.
Did you know that there are over 380 million Linkedin users worldwide (over 1 million in NZ!)

Do you have a Linkedin Company Page?
If not, set one up! It's easy and it's a great way to keep people updated on your business, post jobs, increase your online presence and drive traffic to your website.

You can add a new Company Page only if you meet all of the following requirements:

1. You must have a personal LinkedIn profile set up with your true first and last name.
   
2. Your profile is at least 7 days old.
3. Your profile strength must be listed as Intermediate or All Star.
4. You must have several connections on your profile.
5. You're a current company employee and your position is listed in the Experience section on your  profile.
6. You have a company  email address (e.g. [email protected]) added and confirmed on your LinkedIn account.
7. Your company's email domain is unique to the company.

Once you meet the requirements above, you can set up your company page:

1. Login to your Linkedin account.
2. On the homepage, move your cursor over Interests at the top of your homepage and select Companies.
3. Click Create in the Create a Company Page box on the right.
4. Enter your company's official name and your work email address.
5. Click Continue and enter your company information.

And voila! You have your own company page!

Just as with updating your other social media pages such as Facebook, plan to update your Linkedin business page regularly!
