8 Ways to Optimize LinkedIn Marketing
LinkedIn is the largest professional community in the world, with over 875 million members. It’s a powerful platform for B2B marketing, as it allows businesses to connect with potential customers, colleagues, employees, contractors, and business partners. In this blog post, we will discuss eight ways to optimize your LinkedIn marketing.
Set up a LinkedIn Page
⦁ The first step in optimizing your LinkedIn marketing is to set up a LinkedIn page for your business. This page allows you to publish posts and articles that will appear in the feed of those following you and can reach a wider audience if LinkedIn decides to ramp up the volume on a post because of its value or if you decide to pay to boost a post.
Your LinkedIn page should be consistent with your branding on your website and other materials. You need to post regularly on your page to keep it active. If you let your page languish, it will not reflect well on your company. Commit to your page before creating it.
Be sure to claim the URL with your company’s name if you set up a LinkedIn page. This can help your company appear in search results when people search specifically for your business.
Network
⦁ LinkedIn is all about making connections and building community. Since four out of five LinkedIn members drive business decisions, these are the people with whom you want to network. Start by inviting colleagues and others you know to connect with you on LinkedIn. Then you may want to connect with members your connections are already connected with, to people in your groups, and finally to others you think would be good for your business.
Although there are some restrictions on the number of invitations to connect that you can issue, there are ways to increase your available invitations. Once you have connected to LinkedIn members, you can easily interact with them and build relationships. After you have built a relationship and further establish your credibility, that’s when a contact will be extremely open to doing business with you.
