Linkedin is one of the main social networks on the Internet, with a total of 400 million members worldwide. It has become an ideal space for professionals looking to share their experience, offer their services, add contacts and find job offers, among other activities.

For companies, it is a place to do business, contact potential clients, new clients and maintain relationships with those already in their portfolio. Other benefits that companies gain on Linkedin include: feedback from experts and people interested in the industry; and contacting other companies to obtain more information about the sector of interest.

If you want to show the serious and professional face of your band database business, consider opening a profile for your company and start creating good content for Linkedin. Before doing so, you should know that there are some requirements that are required to do so.

To add a company page on this social network, it is necessary to have created a personal account at least seven days in advance, which must include a real name and surname. In addition, this profile must appear as intermediate or higher, and it is important to have several contacts that somehow confirm the validity of the user.

4. If the email address is accepted, you can take the next step: include a company description and company website URL.



5. If the email has not been verified, you will receive a message in your inbox. You must follow the instructions to confirm the email address and continue with the process.

The address must include the company's domain in its structure, otherwise a message like the one in the following image will appear.



As you can see, domains like gmail.com, yahoo.com and other similar generic email services are not supported as domains for creating a business page.

Also, make sure the address is an individual company email address, for example: [email protected] or [email protected] . If you put something like this: webmaster@abcempresa,com, postmaster@, admin@, then Linkedin will detect it as a mailing list or alias address and will not send the confirmation message.

Please note that the domain cannot be used more than once to create a company page. Therefore, it is important that the first attempt is made by a person directly responsible for the company, this could be the owner or representative, as well as a trusted employee, for example, the Community Manager who will be in charge of sharing the Content for Linkedin. For the latter case, it is advisable to use an email address that another person can access, this will allow easy access if the CM makes mistakes, is absent or is replaced by another employee.
