Creating a LinkedIn Company Page

A LinkedIn Company Page helps others learn more about your business, brand, products and
services, and job opportunities.
Note: You must first create a LinkedIn profile with your real first and last name before you can
complete the below steps to create a Company Page.
To create a Company Page:
1. Click the Work icon in the top right corner of your LinkedIn homepage.
2. Click Create a Company Page.
3. Enter your Company Name and choose a URL. All Company Page URLs will structured as
linkedin.com/company/[YOUR COMPANY NAME].
 While the name of your Company Page doesn't need to be unique, the public URL
for your page cannot be the same as one that exists on LinkedIn. LinkedIn members
and search engines will use this unique URL to find your page.
 Please review the Company Page URL requirements below.
4. Check the verification box to confirm you have the right to act on behalf of that company in
the creation of the page.
5. Click the Create page button.
 If you don't have a confirmed email address associated with your LinkedIn account,
you'll be prompted to add and verify your email address.
 A red error message may appear if your LinkedIn account has recently been created
or you don’t have enough connections. .
6. Click Get started on the welcome screen to begin editing your Company Page.
Your Company Page URL:
 Must contain at least one non-numeric character.
 Can be a lowercase alphabet, numeric, hyphen, or Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK)
Unicode.
 Must not include more than one consecutive hyphen (i.e. company--name) and can't have a
hyphen at the beginning or end (i.e. -company-name or company-name-).
Note: Any improper characters will be automatically replaced with a hyphen.
To publish your Company Page, you must include a company description (250-2000 characters
including spaces) and company website URL. Keep in mind that a preview of your Company Page
is not available. When you publish the page, it is live on LinkedIn.com.
Once you’ve created a Company Page, we recommend sharing this information with other
employees at your company, such as your Human Resources department, and adding additional
admins to the page, in case an admin loses access to the page or leaves the company in the future.
LinkedIn can’t provide Company Page admin information to members or replace or remove admins.
Requesting to Become an Admin of a Company Page
Administrative rights are automatically granted to the creator of a Company Page. Only company
administrators can edit Company Pages, add or remove other admins, and post company updates.
To request administrative rights from your Company Page admin:
1. List your current position with the company on your profile.
2. Go to the Company Page.
3. Click the More icon and select Request admin access from the dropdown.
4. If you're a 1st-degree connection to any of the admins, you'll see the option to grant all
current page administrators access to your profile information by clicking the Submit request
button. You’ll receive a notification in the bottom left corner of your screen indicating that
your request was successfully sent.
 If you're not a 1st-degree connection to any of the admins, please contact your
company administrator to find out who manages your LinkedIn Company Page.
5. You'll receive an email notification once you've been granted admin access.
If you're an agency, social media partner, or a third party working for a Company Page customer,
we encourage you to reach out directly to the company administrator to determine the LinkedIn
Company Page admins. You may want to send them instructions for how to add or remove admins.
Important: LinkedIn can’t provide Company Page admin information to members or replace or
remove admins. We recommend keeping records of your Company Page admins and sharing this
information with your company’s Human Resources department, in case a former admin needs to be
removed or a new admin needs to be added.
