ALinkedIn Page is the profile that a company, organization or institution creates so members can discover, follow and engage with it and learn about its brand, culture and jobs1234. A member must verify that they are an authorized representative of the organization to create one, and member administrators then manage it and post its content123. Members can follow up to 1,000 Pages and can mute or unfollow any of them45. Each follower is a way for a Page's content to reach more people, a Page can earn followers organically, and LinkedIn's Marketing Blog describes boosting as a way to help content reach more people67. LinkedIn Pressroom said in July 2026 that Collaborative Posts are now available to Company Pages, so a Page can post jointly with others8.
How a Page is created and run
LinkedIn Pages are run by the people the organization lets manage them, and creating one also requires agreeing to the LinkedIn Pages Terms123. An organization can have one or more member administrators, who post content such as industry updates, information about the organization and job posts123. The aim is to build and promote the organization's brand to the professional audience on LinkedIn, and LinkedIn's Marketing Blog calls a Page the face of a brand on the professional network1236. Groups work similarly to Pages, but Groups are created and maintained by individual members rather than by organizations or institutions1.
Following a Page and the controls members have
LinkedIn's Help Center says a member follows a Page to get updates on key information the organization posts, and all posts the Page shares appear in the member's homepage feed4. Following also lets the member view and discover the organization's employees to connect with, and its open roles and hiring trends4. In return, the member's public profile information becomes visible to all Page admins, and information about the Pages a member follows may be used to show more relevant ads4. To get less from a Page, a member can use the three-dot control menu to unfollow or mute it, which reduces content from that source5. The My Network page helps members discover recommended companies to follow5.
Growing followers organically and boosting posts
A Page can earn followers organically, and LinkedIn's Marketing Blog said in June 2024 that organic followers are the members who choose to engage with a Page because of the content's value and relevance to their professional interests6. The same post says a fully optimized Page is key to attracting them6. It lists three tactics: complete every section of the Page, including a comprehensive About section and up-to-date contact information; use relevant keywords to be discoverable on LinkedIn and search engines; and use high-quality images and logos that match the brand identity6. LinkedIn's Marketing Blog describes three places to boost from: a Page, a profile (currently in beta and gradually expanding) and an Event Page7. The blog also says paid campaigns are a good way to grow a targeted following, while earning followers organically has its own value6.
Collaborative posts from Pages
Collaborative posts let Pages take part in a single post, and LinkedIn's Help Center says the creator invites connections or Pages to collaborate on it9. When a Page accepts, the post appears on its Page and lists it as a collaborator, which helps the post reach a broader audience9. Page admins must accept invitations on behalf of a Page, and they can see performance only in Page analytics, because engagement metrics are not available for Pages added as collaborators9. A post can have up to five collaborators, must be public, and can be edited only by the person who created it, while collaborators can remove themselves at any time89. Pages can also create newsletters if they meet LinkedIn's criteria10.
How it has changed
Showing different Page content to different visitors
From LinkedIn's research and patents, which may not describe how LinkedIn works today
This section is about LinkedIn and Microsoft patents, which describe how a Page could show different updates to different visitors and do not show what LinkedIn does today111213. A LinkedIn patent from October 2017 and a Microsoft patent from May 2019, both titled Organization targeted status updates, describe an organization's webpage with a summary, the members who work there, open jobs and updates1112. The patents say an administrator sees an updates interface for adding updates, while other members see a version without it1112. A March 2020 Microsoft patent describes a similar check for recruiting, where a person viewing content about a company sees that company's recruiting messages only if they fit the targeting rules of its recruiting campaign13. Our read this is probably an idea rather than a confirmed Page feature, because LinkedIn's Help Center describes following a Page and receiving all its posts without mentioning audience-based updates41112.
