Let’s dive into the strategies that will revolutionise your LinkedIn presence.

1. Optimise Your Company Page Like a Pro

Your LinkedIn company page is often the first impression potential customers have of your brand.

But most companies make crucial mistakes in their page setup that kill their visibility before they even start.

Here’s how to do it right:

  • Complete every section
      • Use all 2,000 characters in your “About” section
      • Add your location and industry
      • Upload a high-quality banner image
  • Keyword optimisation
    • Place target keywords in your company description
    • Use industry-relevant terms in your specialities section
    • Include searchable terms in your tagline

2. Create a Content Calendar That Actually Works

Random posting is probably killing your LinkedIn visibility.

Here’s the deal: A strategic content calendar can help you maintain consistent engagement on LinkedIn. 

Follow this framework:

  1. 30% industry insights and thought leadership
  2. 30% behind-the-scenes, building in public, and company culture
  3. 20% product or service highlights
  4. 20% personal, emotive stories

Pro Tip: Use LinkedIn’s analytics to identify your best posting times based on when your audience is most active.

3. Leverage Employee Advocacy (The Right Way)

Did you know? Your employees can be your most powerful brand ambassadors on LinkedIn.

But here’s the thing: You need a structured approach to make it work.

Here’s how:

  1. Create clear guidelines for sharing company content
  2. Recognise and reward active participants
  3. Make it easy with an employee advocacy platform

4. Master LinkedIn’s Algorithm

Most brands fight against LinkedIn’s algorithm instead of working with it.

Here’s what really works:

  • Post native content (LinkedIn loves it)
  • Encourage early engagement within the first hour
  • Use 3-5 relevant hashtags (not 20)
  • Include a clear call-to-action in every post

5. Build a Winning Video Strategy

LinkedIn users are 20x more likely to share video content than any other type.

Here are examples of video content that you can start creating:

    • Success stories
  3. Behind-the-scenes/Building in public
    • Team meetings
    • Product development
    • Company culture

To create an engaging LinkedIn article, you will need to:

  3. Include relevant images every 200-300 words
  4. End with a clear call-to-action
