Many smaller businesses—and especially local businesses—are missing an important marketing opportunity. They do not have a profile page for their company on LinkedIn.

A basic company page on LinkedIn is free. And, it is easy to set one up. It is somewhat more difficult to create a truly informative page that builds your brand and is helpful to customers, vendors, and others offering potential for business relationships—including potential new employees.

Your LinkedIn company page should describe your business using keywords that a LinkedIn user might type in the search field of the LinkedIn website.
