Are you curious who exactly is following your LinkedIn company page? Well, stop wondering and start seeing who your exact followers are by simply doing the following steps:
- Log-in to LinkedIn
- Go to your company page, under the admin view, click “analytics” and then “followers”
- Scroll down and view your followers and the month/year they followed your page
This is a major advantage for LinkedIn company page admins and something I’ve personally wanted for a very LONG time.
Why is it important to know who your LinkedIn followers are?
- Gives you insight on who your actual audience is on LinkedIn — perhaps it’s different than you thought
- Allows you to contact your followers on different channels and take the conversation offline — your sales reps might have an easier time closing a sale if they invite your followers to connect on LinkedIn and then start the conversation that way
- Great way to add more high quality contacts to your email marketing list
- Allows you to potentially refine your post content based on who the majority of your followers are
- Let’s you see which employees from your company aren’t already following the page and is a great way to remind employees to do so
While it’s great to finally have this feature on LinkedIn, there is still a major drawback. Unfortunately, there currently is no way to export your followers from LinkedIn. For now, admins will have to manually copy/paste the followers if they want to view who their followers are on one page.
