Join us for a peek behind the curtain to see if LinkedIn is a match for your business. Here are a few suggestions of how to optimize your business on LinkedIn. 

• Complete your profile, both personal and professional, as fully as you can. Use

  keyword-rich descriptions that are easily searchable.

• Constantly build your LinkedIn network. The more people you are connected to in LinkedIn, the more likely you’ll be able to find someone you know who is connected to someone with whom you’d like to be introduced.

• Build your company page. Along with those key words use images that show off your company and the services or products you offer. 

• Participate in Industry Groups. Find some active, quality groups within your industry and start participating by joining conversations, answering questions, being helpful, sharing interesting third-party articles.

• Solicit recommendations for your products that can read like testimonials and give your company a positive image.

• Establish yourself as a leader by publishing articles and content that is seen as useful and interesting for other people in your industry.

• Make sure to respond to your posts, reviews, and questions. If a user leaves a product review, thank them. If they have a complaint, address it. Answer questions and offer advice and assistance.

• Engage your employees. Your employees are your best brand ambassadors, so encourage them to add your company to their LinkedIn profiles.
