How to set it up:

Checklist for set up:

What you need to set up -

Personal or Company Description

Include the information that differentiates you or your business from others and share your core mission.

Company Details

Here is where you fill in details of your company – type, size, website, industry, status, date, locations. Fill in as much or as little as you have available. Remembering the gift of social is – the more you give, the more you get.

Specialities or skills

This is where you list skills and capabilities that you do. Over time, your network will endorse these skills. Plus they become searchable terms to attract people to you.

Designated Admins

Confirm the accounts who will have admin access to page setups for your company page.

Profile Image & Banner

The HORIZONTAL LOGO is the standard logo for your company page and will be visible at the top of your LinkedIn page, to the left of your company name.

If your page is personal, as in you’re the business, a professional head shot taken close up with your head looking slightly to the left is good for LinkedIn – its like you’re looking right at them! Keep your profile pics consistent across platforms.

Logo (if needed)

The SQUARE LOGO is your standard logo used on your network updates.
