LinkedIn Company Pages: The Complete Guide for Businesses (2025 Setup, Strategy & Best Practices)

Let's address the elephant in the room: your personal LinkedIn profile probably generates 10x more engagement than your company page.

And that's fine.

Because here's what most LinkedIn "experts" won't tell you – company pages serve a fundamentally different purpose than personal profiles. They're not engagement machines; they're credibility builders.

After working with hundreds of agency owners, I've discovered that the most successful ones don't try to make their company pages compete with personal profiles. Instead, they build complementary strategies that leverage each channel's unique strengths.

This guide will show you exactly how to do that in 2025.

How to Create a LinkedIn Business Page (Step-by-Step)

If you're starting from scratch, creating a LinkedIn for business page is straightforward and takes about 10 minutes. Here's the complete step-by-step process:

Step 1: Access the Page Creation Tool

1. Log into your personal LinkedIn account
2. Click the "Work" icon (grid icon) in the top right corner of your LinkedIn homepage
3. Select "Create a Company Page" from the dropdown menu

Step 2: Choose Your Page Type

LinkedIn offers several page types:

• Small business (fewer than 200 employees) - Most common for agencies
• Medium to large business (200+ employees)
• Showcase page (highlight specific brands/initiatives under a parent company)
• Educational institution

For most agencies and businesses, select "Small business."

Step 3: Enter Company Information

You'll need to provide:

• Page identity (Company Name): Use your official business name exactly as registered
• LinkedIn public URL: Create a custom URL (e.g., linkedin.com/company/your-agency-name)
• Website: Your primary business website
• Industry: Select the most relevant category (this affects who sees your content)
• Company size: Choose the appropriate employee range
• Company type: Select from options like Privately Held, Partnership, etc.
• Logo: Upload your company logo (300 x 300 pixels minimum, square format)

Step 4: Verify Page Ownership

LinkedIn requires you to verify your email address associated with the company domain. If you're using a personal email (like Gmail), you may need to provide additional verification.

Step 5: Complete Your Page Profile

After creation, immediately complete these critical elements:

• Cover image/banner: Upload a professional banner image (1128 x 191 pixels)
• Tagline: Write a concise value proposition (max 120 characters)
• About section: Craft a compelling company description (see detailed guidance below)
• Specialties: Add up to 20 keywords describing your services
• Location: Add your business address
• Custom button: Configure your CTA button (e.g., "Visit Website," "Contact Us")

Important: LinkedIn's algorithm rewards complete profiles. Pages with all fields filled out get significantly better organic reach than incomplete ones.

Pro tip for agencies: Before you create your company page, make sure your personal profile is optimized and active. Your LinkedIn for business page will leverage your personal network for initial visibility. As one agency owner discovered, personal profiles generate 20x more engagement than company pages, so start there if you're choosing one channel.

Why LinkedIn Company Pages Still Matter (Despite Lower Engagement)

When a potential client Googles your agency or checks your LinkedIn profile, they'll inevitably find your company page. Here's why it needs to be impressive:

1. Credibility and Legitimacy

In today's digital landscape, a polished company page is the business equivalent of showing up to a meeting in professional attire. It signals that you're established, legitimate, and invested in your brand.

A prospect who's considering a $10,000+ agency engagement will absolutely check your company page – not necessarily to follow it, but to validate your business exists beyond just you. This is especially important when optimizing your LinkedIn profile for lead generation.

2. Team Amplification Hub

For agencies with multiple team members, your company page becomes the central connection point for employee advocacy. When your team lists your agency as their employer, they automatically create backlinks to your company page.

This network effect creates exponential visibility opportunities – every time a team member engages with company content, it reaches their entire network. For a deeper dive into this strategy, check out our complete roadmap to enhance your employee advocacy on LinkedIn.

3. Business Showcase, Not Relationship Builder

While personal profiles excel at relationship building, company pages provide a structured showcase for your:

• Service offerings

• Case studies

• Team culture

• Client testimonials

• Industry recognition

Think of your company page as your digital portfolio, not your networking tool. Learn more about creating a content system between personal and company profiles to maximize both channels.

4. Recruitment Magnet

For growing agencies, LinkedIn company pages include built-in recruitment tools that make attracting talent significantly easier.

As one agency owner told me: "Our company page generates almost no client leads, but it's responsible for 80% of our quality job applicants."

Personal Profile vs Company Page: Which Should You Prioritize?

This is the #1 question I get from agency owners and business founders: "Should I invest time in my personal LinkedIn profile or my company page?"

Short answer: Both, but start with your personal profile if resources are limited.

Why? The data is clear:

Metric	Personal Profile	Company Page
Organic Reach	3-5x higher	Baseline
Engagement Rate	8-10x higher on average	Lower engagement
Algorithm Priority	High (LinkedIn favors people)	Lower priority
Decision-Maker Connection	Direct 1:1 relationships	Brand awareness
Business Opportunities	5-20x more leads generated	Primarily credibility
Time to Results	2-4 weeks of consistent posting	3-6 months minimum
Content Lifespan	24-48 hours peak visibility	Similar or shorter

The Strategic Reality:

When prospects are considering hiring your agency, they follow this pattern 72% of the time:

1. First: They engage with the founder/CEO's personal content
2. Second: They visit the founder's personal profile
3. Third: They click through to check the company page
4. Fourth: They visit your website

Your personal LinkedIn profile is the front door. Your company page is the credential wall in the lobby.

LiGo's Positioning on This:

Based on data from 2,150+ professionals using our platform, we strongly recommend prioritizing personal profiles for ROI. However, LiGo now supports both personal profiles AND LinkedIn for business pages (early access) because the most successful users leverage both strategically:

• Personal profile (80% of effort): Thought leadership, relationship building, lead generation
• Company page (20% of effort): Credibility, team amplification, recruitment, SEO

When to Focus on Each:

Focus on Personal Profile First If:

• You're a founder, consultant, or agency owner personally involved in sales
• You have limited time (less than 5 hours/week for LinkedIn)
• You need to generate leads quickly
• You want direct conversations with decision-makers
• You're building thought leadership

Add Company Page Focus When:

• Your personal profile is consistently active (3+ posts/week)
• You have a team that can amplify company content
• You need recruitment visibility
• You want to improve Google search presence
• You're establishing enterprise credibility

The Integrated Approach (Recommended):

Don't make it either/or. Here's the sustainable model:

1. Week 1-4: Establish personal profile activity (3-5 posts/week)
2. Week 5+: Add company page content (1-2 posts/week)
3. Ongoing: Personal content drives engagement, company page builds authority
4. Team leverage: Employees share company content with personal perspectives

This approach maximizes ROI while building comprehensive LinkedIn presence.

Setting Up Your LinkedIn Company Page for Maximum Impact

The technical setup of your page might seem basic, but getting these fundamentals right creates the foundation for everything else.

1. Create Your Page With Strategic Positioning

To create a new company page:

1. Click the "Work" icon in the top right of your LinkedIn homepage

2. Select "Create a Company Page"

3. Choose "Small business" (unless you have 200+ employees)

4. Enter your company details and verify page ownership

Pro tip: Your page name and URL should match your official business name for SEO purposes, but your tagline is where you can incorporate strategic keywords that describe what you actually do. This is part of optimizing your LinkedIn profile for maximum visibility.

2. Complete Every Single Information Field

LinkedIn's algorithm rewards complete profiles, so don't skip any fields:

• Company name: Use your official business name

• URL: Create a custom LinkedIn URL that matches your brand

• Industry: Select the most relevant category

• Company size: Choose the appropriate range

• Company type: Select the option that best describes your business

• Website: Link to your primary website

• Phone number: Include a business contact number

• Address: Add your physical location if applicable

Pro tip: In the company description field, include keywords that potential clients would use when searching for your services.

3. Create Compelling Visual Assets That Convert

Your visual assets create the first impression and dramatically impact perceived credibility:

• Logo: Upload a high-resolution company logo (300 x 300 pixels)

• Cover image: Create a compelling banner image (1128 x 191 pixels)

• Custom button: Configure your CTA button to direct visitors to your most important destination

2025 Update: LinkedIn now supports slideshow cover images that can showcase multiple aspects of your business. This feature is perfect for highlighting different services, team members, or client results. For more details on optimizing your visual assets, check out our LinkedIn banner size guide for 2025.

4. Craft an "About" Section That Actually Sells

Most company "About" sections read like boring corporate brochures. Instead, structure yours like a sales page:

First paragraph: Start with a clear problem statement that resonates with your ideal client. What pain point does your agency solve?

Second paragraph: Introduce your solution and unique approach. What makes your methodology different?

Third paragraph: Provide proof with specific results, client types, or credentials.

Final paragraph: Include a clear call-to-action that tells prospects what to do next.

Throughout this section, incorporate relevant keywords naturally to improve discoverability. This approach is similar to writing an effective LinkedIn About section for your personal profile.

5. Add Specialties That Improve Discoverability

LinkedIn allows you to add up to 20 specialties (essentially keywords) that describe your services. Don't waste this opportunity – choose terms your ideal clients would actually search for.

For example, instead of broad terms like "marketing" or "design," use specific service offerings like "SaaS content marketing" or "fintech UX design." For more LinkedIn optimization strategies, read our guide on LinkedIn profile optimization.

Content Strategy: What Actually Works on Company Pages

Creating content for company pages requires a fundamentally different approach than personal profiles. Here's what works specifically for agency company pages:

1. Complementary Content, Not Duplicate Content

The biggest mistake? Simply reposting the same content from your personal profile to your company page.

Instead, develop distinct content types for each channel:

Company Page Content:

• Case studies and client success stories

• Team member spotlights and culture posts

• Service explanations and methodology insights

• Company news and achievements

• Industry reports and research

Personal Profile Content:

• Thought leadership and personal perspectives

• Behind-the-scenes insights and lessons learned

• Network engagement and relationship building

• Personal stories and professional journey

2. The Ideal Posting Frequency and Format

For agency company pages, the sweet spot is typically 2-3 posts per week. Unlike personal profiles, where daily posting can be effective, company pages perform better with fewer, higher-quality posts.

The most engaging formats for company pages in 2025:

1. Case study carousels: Before-and-after client results with specific metrics (learn about carousel post sizes)

2. Team spotlight posts: Highlighting individual team members' expertise

3. Process breakdowns: Visual explanations of your methodology

4. Client testimonial graphics: Designed quote cards from satisfied clients

5. Industry insight infographics: Data visualizations relevant to your audience

For more content ideas that drive engagement, check out top LinkedIn post ideas that actually drive engagement.

3. Repurposing System for Efficient Content Creation

To maintain a consistent company page presence without overwhelming your schedule, implement this content repurposing system:

1. Create cornerstone content (like detailed case studies or methodology guides)

2. Break it down into multiple company page posts (carousels, quotes, statistics)

3. Have team members share these posts with their personal perspectives

4. Track engagement across different formats

5. Refresh and repurpose your best-performing content every 3-6 months

This approach maximizes the value of your content creation efforts while minimizing the time investment. For more details on content repurposing, check out our article on LinkedIn content repurposing: turning one idea into a month's worth of engaging posts.

Employee Advocacy: The Secret Multiplier for Company Pages

Your team members are your most powerful company page amplifiers – if you make it easy for them to participate.

1. Create a Frictionless Sharing Process

Most employee advocacy programs fail because they're too complicated. Instead:

1. Create a dedicated Slack channel or email for sharing company content

2. Include ready-to-use text team members can copy/paste (or personalize)

3. Send notifications when new content is published

4. Make sharing explicitly voluntary, not mandatory

2. Incentivize Authentic Participation

The key word is authentic. Forced engagement is obvious and ineffective. Instead:

• Recognize team members who actively participate

• Share the impact of collective amplification efforts

• Create friendly internal competitions

• Highlight examples of personalized sharing that worked well

3. Train Your Team on Effective LinkedIn Engagement

Many team members want to help but don't know how. Provide quick training on:

• Adding thoughtful comments rather than just sharing

• Personalizing shared posts with their own perspective

• Engaging with comments on company content

• Building their own credibility alongside the company's

As one agency founder shared, "We saw a 400% increase in company page reach when we stopped asking for shares and started teaching effective engagement." For more insights on effective LinkedIn employee advocacy, read our in-depth Roadmap for Employee Advocacy in 2025.

Analytics: Measuring What Actually Matters

LinkedIn's built-in analytics can provide valuable insights if you focus on the right metrics.

1. Focus on These Key Metrics

For agency company pages, these metrics matter most:

• Visitor demographics: Are you attracting your target audience?

• Content engagement rate: Which content types drive meaningful interaction?

• Follower growth trends: Is your audience growing consistently?

• Page traffic sources: How are people finding your page?

• Referral traffic to website: Is your page driving actual website visits?

Ignore vanity metrics like total impressions – they rarely translate to business results. For more insights on meaningful LinkedIn metrics, read should you worry about vanity metrics or authenticity on LinkedIn?

2. Competitive Benchmarking

Use LinkedIn's competitor comparison feature to benchmark against similar agencies:

1. Identify 3-5 comparable agencies in your space

2. Compare engagement rates, not total followers

3. Analyze content types that perform well for competitors

4. Look for gaps or opportunities in their content strategy

5. Implement and test promising approaches on your own page

3. Quarterly Content Audits

Every quarter, conduct a content audit to refine your strategy:

1. Identify your top 5 performing posts by engagement rate

2. Look for patterns in topics, formats, or posting times

3. Review underperforming content to determine what to avoid

4. Set content priorities for the upcoming quarter

5. Adjust your content mix based on performance data

Common LinkedIn Company Page Mistakes to Avoid

Even experienced marketers make these common mistakes with LinkedIn company pages:

1. The "Ghost Town" Effect

The mistake: Creating a page but posting so infrequently that it looks abandoned.

The solution: Commit to a realistic, sustainable posting schedule (even if it's just once weekly) and stick to it consistently.

2. The "Corporate Robot" Voice

The mistake: Writing company page content in a stiff, formal tone that sounds nothing like how you actually communicate.

The solution: Develop a company page voice that reflects your agency's actual personality while maintaining professionalism.

3. The "All About Us" Syndrome

The mistake: Creating content exclusively about your company, services, and achievements.

The solution: Follow the 70/20/10 rule – 70% industry insights, 20% client-focused content, and only 10% directly about your agency. Learn more about creating engaging content in our guide on how to create engaging LinkedIn posts that drive results.

4. The "Orphaned Page" Problem

The mistake: Failing to connect your personal profile and other team members to the company page.

The solution: Ensure all team members correctly list the company as their employer and occasionally cross-promote company content on personal profiles. For more on employee advocacy, see our guide on creating a content system between personal and company profiles.

LinkedIn for Business Page FAQs

What is a LinkedIn business page?

A LinkedIn business page (also called a company page) is a free professional profile for your business or organization on LinkedIn. Unlike personal profiles, business pages allow you to showcase your company's services, culture, job opportunities, and thought leadership to LinkedIn's 900+ million professionals.

Think of it as your business card on LinkedIn - it provides credibility, enables team member connections, and serves as a hub for your company's professional presence.

How do I create a LinkedIn company page?

Creating a LinkedIn for business page takes about 10 minutes:

1. Log into your personal LinkedIn account
2. Click the "Work" icon in the top right corner
3. Select "Create a Company Page"
4. Choose "Small business" (for most agencies and companies under 200 employees)
5. Enter your company details (name, URL, website, industry, size)
6. Upload your logo and cover image
7. Complete the About section and add specialties
8. Verify your email address

See the complete step-by-step process with screenshots in the "How to Create a LinkedIn Business Page" section above.

Is a LinkedIn business page free?

Yes, creating and maintaining a LinkedIn business page is completely free. There are no monthly fees or charges to set up and use a company page.

However, LinkedIn does offer paid features like:

• Sponsored Content: Promote your posts to reach beyond your followers
• Sponsored Messaging: Send direct messages to targeted professionals
• Dynamic Ads: Display personalized ads to specific audiences
• LinkedIn Recruiter: Advanced hiring tools for recruitment

These paid features are optional - the core company page functionality is 100% free.

Company page vs personal profile - which is better for business?

For lead generation and relationship building: Personal profiles win decisively (5-20x better ROI).

For credibility and brand presence: Company pages are essential.

The best approach? Use both strategically:

• Invest 80% of effort in your personal profile (content, engagement, relationships)
• Invest 20% in your company page (credibility, recruitment, team amplification)

Personal profiles drive business conversations. Company pages validate those conversations.

See the detailed comparison table in the "Personal Profile vs Company Page" section above for metrics on reach, engagement, and business impact.

Can I manage multiple LinkedIn company pages?

Yes, LinkedIn allows you to be a Page Admin for multiple company pages. This is common for:

• Agency owners managing client company pages
• Marketing managers handling multiple brand pages
• Consultants supporting several businesses
• Entrepreneurs running multiple companies

To manage multiple pages, you need to be granted admin access for each page individually. The page owner can add you through the page's Admin Tools > Page Admins section.

LiGo supports multi-account management: If you're managing content for multiple LinkedIn for business pages, LiGo's delegation features (Pro plan) allow you to create and schedule content for different company pages from one interface.

How often should I post on my LinkedIn company page?

Recommended frequency: 2-3 posts per week for most businesses.

Unlike personal profiles (where daily posting can be effective), company pages perform better with fewer, higher-quality posts.

Quality > Quantity for company pages:

• 2 valuable posts/week outperforms 7 mediocre posts/week
• Focus on case studies, team spotlights, and industry insights
• Maintain consistency - don't post 5 times one week, then nothing for a month

Pro tip: Use LinkedIn scheduling tools to batch-create content and maintain consistent presence even during busy periods.

Does LiGo support LinkedIn company pages?

Yes! LiGo now supports both personal profiles AND LinkedIn for business pages (early access feature).

What LiGo can do for company pages:

• Generate theme-based content maintaining brand voice
• Create post variants for different channels (personal vs company)
• Schedule company page posts for optimal times
• Track analytics to see what content performs best
• Manage multiple company pages through delegation features (Pro plan)

Our strategic recommendation: While LiGo supports company pages, we recommend prioritizing personal profiles first for maximum ROI (5-20x better engagement and lead generation). Once your personal LinkedIn presence is consistent, add company page management as a secondary channel.

Learn more about how LiGo helps manage LinkedIn strategy for both personal and company pages.

Conclusion: The Strategic Role of Company Pages for Agencies

For agency owners and founders, LinkedIn company pages serve as an important complement to personal branding efforts. While personal profiles drive more engagement and relationships, a well-optimized company page establishes credibility, showcases your services, and creates opportunities for team amplification.

The most effective approach combines:

• Clear positioning that communicates your unique value

• Consistent, valuable content that demonstrates expertise

• Strategic employee advocacy that extends your reach

• Regular analysis and optimization based on performance data

By implementing the strategies outlined in this guide, you can transform your LinkedIn for business page from a static profile into a dynamic business asset that supports lead generation, recruitment, and brand building.

Remember that LinkedIn company pages work best as part of an integrated strategy that includes personal profiles, employee advocacy, and potentially paid promotion. When these elements work together, they create a comprehensive LinkedIn presence that drives meaningful business results.
