What is a LinkedIn Company Page?

Definition: A Company Page is the official presence of an organisation on a social network, such as a LinkedIn Page or a Facebook Page, run by admins on the organisation’s behalf rather than by one person’s profile.

Also called: LinkedIn Page, business page, Facebook Page, brand page

Pages vs personal profiles

A personal profile belongs to a person: people connect with it or follow it, and it posts in that person’s name. A Page belongs to the organisation: people follow it, it posts in the organisation’s name, and several admins can run it without sharing a password. Businesses usually use both: the Page is the brand’s official voice, and people on the team post in their own names.

Most networks have a version: LinkedIn has Pages, Facebook has Pages, and other networks offer business or creator accounts with a similar role.

LinkedIn Page types

Per LinkedIn’s help centre, a Company Page represents an organisation on LinkedIn. A Showcase Page represents a brand, business unit or initiative for a specific audience, and Career Pages, which show culture and open roles, need a paid licence and an existing Company or University Page. The table lists the main types.

Creating and running one

LinkedIn says you can create a Page for free, but you need a LinkedIn account and must confirm you have the right to act on behalf of the company. As of October 2026, creating a Page is supported on desktop and iOS, not on Android. Once it exists, assign admins so the Page does not depend on one person.

Treat the Page like any channel: post on a regular schedule, use the formats the network favours (images, video, documents), and measure followers, reach and engagement rate. Postprism publishes text, a single image or a video to a LinkedIn Company Page as well as to personal profiles, so the brand account and the founder’s profile can be planned in one calendar.

Example

A 12-person agency runs a LinkedIn Company Page for case studies and hiring news, while the founder posts opinions from her personal profile. Both are scheduled a week ahead: the Page twice a week, the founder three times, with each post written for its own audience.
