How to Use a LinkedIn Business Page Successfully

If your LinkedIn Business Page feels like it exists just to exist, you are not alone. Many business owners set one up, post a few times, and then wonder why nothing seems to happen. No engagement. No clicks. No leads. So how do you use a LinkedIn Business page to bring in awareness and leads?

This week’s Marketing Monday focus is reviewing your LinkedIn Business Page performance and making sure it is actually doing its job: reaching the right people and driving action.

Before changing anything, start with a quick audit as a part of your Marketing Monday Task!

Step One: Review Your LinkedIn Business Page Performance

Head into your LinkedIn analytics and look at the last 30 days. Focus on three core areas.

First, engagement metrics. Look at likes, comments, shares, and clicks. Low impressions with low engagement usually means your content is not resonating or LinkedIn is not prioritizing it. Higher impressions with low engagement tells you people are seeing your posts but not finding them valuable or relatable enough to interact.

Second, audience reach. LinkedIn analytics shows job titles, industries, locations, and seniority of people interacting with your page. Ask yourself honestly: are these the people you want to reach? If your audience is off, your messaging or keywords likely are too.

Third, conversions. Check whether your CTA button and post links are actually driving traffic. If people are clicking but not converting, the disconnect is often the landing page, not LinkedIn itself.

This audit tells you where to focus next.

A high-performing LinkedIn Business Page starts with a strong foundation. According to LinkedIn, fully completed company pages receive significantly more views than incomplete ones. That means your logo, cover image, business description, website link, industry, and location all matter.

Your description should be written for search, not just branding. Use keywords your audience would search for, including services and locations when relevant. This helps your page appear in LinkedIn and Google search results.

Posting consistency matters more than posting frequency. Most businesses see stronger results posting once or twice per week rather than posting daily and burning out. Consistency builds trust with both your audience and the algorithm.

What to Post on Your LinkedIn Company Page

Variety performs best on LinkedIn. Data from SEMrush shows that video, documents like PDFs, and image-based posts consistently outperform plain text updates when it comes to engagement. You do not need to do everything, but you should rotate formats.

Strong content ideas include educational posts, client wins, behind-the-scenes insights, thought leadership, and industry commentary. The goal is not to sell every post but to stay visible and credible.

If you want to grow faster, involve your team. When employees engage with company posts, LinkedIn expands the reach significantly. Even a few comments from staff can push your content into second and third-degree networks.

LinkedIn Best Practices for Timing and Posting Frequency

Most studies suggest posting on LinkedIn during weekday business hours performs best, particularly Tuesday through Thursday mornings. That said, your analytics matter more than general advice. Review when your audience is most active and adjust accordingly.

Posting at least weekly is a good baseline. Brands that post consistently tend to see higher engagement and stronger page growth over time.

Using Analytics to Improve Results

LinkedIn analytics is where strategy becomes clear. Look at which posts drive the most engagement and clicks. Identify patterns in format, topic, and tone. Then do more of what works.

This is where many businesses fall short. They post without reviewing results, which leads to wasted time and effort. Analytics should guide your content, not follow it.
