Hey Cent,
A LinkedIn company page helps you network and prospect for quality sales leads, but it also establishes your public image on a global scale as a reputable and trustworthy organization. By producing content that our viewers want to see and share with others, our viewers become engaged advocates of our company and expand our global reach and influence. We need to make our content available in different formats such as SlideShare business presentations, blog posts, infographics, webinars, podcasts and videos to suit the viewing preferences of our target audience.
Google and other search engines rank LinkedIn company pages and posts highly in the search engine results pages, so adding updates to our company page and optimizing posts for SEO helps to improve our performance in the search results pages. As a result, our website may see an increase in visitor traffic, especially if links back to your company’s website are embedded in our posts. Eventually, thanks for sharing much interesting Infographic pertaining to LinkedIn with us.
With best wishes,
