Company page? LinkedIn showcase page? Is it the same thing? Well, no! 😁
LinkedIn is a social media platform full of resources and sometimes we use them poorly or worse, not at all! To grow your network and be visible, aim for all the options of the professional network. So, what’s the point of the showcase page?
What’s a showcase page on LinkedIn?
Actually, there is a very strong link between these two terms since they are both features on LinkedIn, and one follows from the other. Today, it is possible to create a Company Page on LinkedIn to share content to a set of people who have an affinity or interest in your company.
To create your business page, follow the link, we explain everything. 🥰 It is not uncommon for a company to offer several different services or products, and/or to be present in different countries. In these cases, you can create showcase pages that are added to your company page.
These showcase pages are the presentations of each of your tools or services. They are part of LinkedIn social channels because you can post and share with your audience.
🚨 Make sure you don’t only publish promotionnal content, but you’re sharing storytelling, blog posts, video content… We will tell you more about content strategy in this article. 😉
What is the difference between a company page and a showcase page?
