Changes To LinkedIn Company Pages [Tutorial]
Have you noticed when logging into your LinkedIn Company Page an invitation to review the new design of your page?
LinkedIn has once again done a revamp to the user interface and you’ll want to understand what’s new and what’s been changed.
While these changes are not yet fully completed and integrated, you are able to get a fairly clear idea of what your LinkedIn Company Page will look and function like going forward.
Here is a breakdown of the currently accessible LinkedIn Company Page changes, to help you adapt quickly and effectively.
Changes To Your LinkedIn Company Page
Right away you will notice that LinkedIn has done a complete redesign of their Company Page, with a feel somewhat similar to the redesigned LinkedIn Groups and Privacy & Setting areas as well as the upcoming full redesign of LinkedIn.
When you first visit the page, a popup will appear with a welcome message which shares:
With the new feed you are able to quickly view engagement metrics for individual and aggregated company updates.
Members will continue seeing the company updates feed on the Company Page but in Admin view the company feed has its own dedicated page…
Updates Page
Upon further inspection of the admin view of the Updates page, you will find your engagement analytics for the last 7-days located front and center in a box on the left, including likes, comments, shares and new followers (with increase/decrease percentages over the previous week).
In the center of the page is the feed with your recent updates. For each update you can quickly and easily see your engagement metrics for each post.
You can also easily spot any content you have sponsored. At the top of any boosted posts, beside the date, you will see Sponsored Content. Additionally, down in the analytics area of each post it breaks down your Organic Reach and Gained Sponsored Reach so you have a clear idea of how each post has performed.
Just above the updates feed is the share box, where you can add new updates to your page.
