Adding, Editing and Problem of Creating LinkedIn Company Page

Requirements for Adding Company Pages

Who can add a Company Page?

You can add a new Company Page only if you meet all of the following requirements:

1. You must have a personal LinkedIn profile set up with your true first and last name.
2. Your profile is at least 7 days old.
3. Your profile strength must be listed as Intermediate or All Star.
4. You must have several connections on your profile.
5. You're a current company employee and your position is listed in the Experience section on your profile.
6. You have a company email address (e.g. john@companyname.com) added and confirmed on your LinkedIn account.
7. Your company's email domain is unique to the company.

Note: A domain can't be used more than once to create a Company Page. Because domains like gmail.com, yahoo.com or similar generic email services are not unique to one company, those domains can't be used to create a Company Page. You might consider creating a group if your company doesn't have a unique email domain.

Adding a Company Page

How do I add a Company Page?

A Company Page helps others learn more about your business, brand, products and services, and job opportunities. You can create one from the Add a Company page. 

Note: Before starting, you must own a personal LinkedIn profile set up with your true first and last name. Also, make sure you meet our requirements to add a Company Page and that your current company doesn't already have one. 

To add a Company Page:

1. Move your cursor over Interests at the top of your homepage and select Companies.
2. Click Create in the Create a Company Page box on the right.
3. Enter your company's official name and your work email address.
4. Click Continue and enter your company information.
• If the work email address you provide is an unconfirmed email address on your LinkedIn account, a message will be sent to that address. Follow the instructions in the message to confirm your email address, and then use the instructions above to add the Company Page.
• A red error message may appear if you have problems adding a Company Page.
• A preview of your Company Page is not available. When you publish the page, it is live on our website.

Note: To publish your Company Page you must include a company description (250-2000 characters including spaces), and company website URL. 

Problem Adding Company Page

Why am I having problems adding a Company Page?

When you're trying to add a Company Page, a red error message may appear if one or more of the following is true: 

• A Company Page already exists. To find it, search for your company using the Search box on LinkedIn. If it needs updated, learn how to edit your Company Page.
• You don't meet the requirements to add a Company Page.
• The email address you entered on the Add a Company page is associated with a different company. An email domain must be unique to your company, and can only be used once to create a company page.

If the email domain is associated with an existing Company Page, we recommend reaching out to the admin(s) of the page to coordinate your request for a new/additional Company Page.

Editing Your Company Page

 

How do I edit my Company Page?

You must be a Company Page administrator in order to edit your Company Page. To edit information on your Company Page:

1. Move your cursor over Interests at the top of your homepage and select Companies from the drop down.
2. Select the Company Page that you’d like to edit from the Manage your pages box on the right.
3. Click the blue Edit button in the upper right.
4. Make your changes and click Publish to save.

Important notes:

• If you don't see the Company Page in the Manage your pages box or you don’t see an Edit button on the Company Page, you’re not an admin. Learn how to become a Company Page admin.
• Learn more if you want to add or remove administrators for your Company Page.
• A unique company name is required for each Company Page. If a page already exists using your company's name, alter the name slightly by adding something like a town, state, "INC," "LLC," or "by owner".
• You can edit your company name and description in multiple languages so visitors see that content in their preferred language.

If you're an administrator and still can't make edits to your Company Page, please contact us with the following information:

1. Your company name
2. Your company email address
3. The URL (webpage link) for the Company Page on LinkedIn
4. The changes you want to make

Note: LinkedIn Customer Support cannot modify the company approved admin list unless there's a technical issue. The security of the admin list must be controlled by the assigned admins for the Company Page.
