Share the important details of your business right away.
When filling out your company's profile, it is important to
say exactly what your company is, who your clients are and
how you assist them. The idea is to make it obvious what
you offer and why they should contact you. Make sure that
your profile headline and photo are professional and a true
reflection of your company.
3. .
Include your Products & Services.
It is imperative to add your products and services to your
company page. Not only is this your opportunity to explain
what you offer, individuals can recommend and share the
products you list, making them ambassadors for your brand.

Use “call to action” in your profile.
The main aim is to convert connections into paying
customers. One way to do this on LinkedIn is to create a "call
to action." Instead of simply filling in LinkedIn's generic "my
website" or "my blog" links on your profile page, take the
extra step and tell visitors to click on your links. For instance,
write: "Click here to (insert your product or service here)."
when editing your 3 websites in your contact information.

Create and join groups, and get talking.
Creating and managing groups of your own provides you with
a level of credibility. Groups allow you to expand your
network to reach targeted and influential individuals you seek
to make contact with. Research topics of interest within your
industry and choose the top two or three as the basis for your
group.
6. .
Send thoughtful targeted messages.
Targeted status updates can be an effective way for business
owners to tailor the content in their updates to specific
company followers. This helps ensure the right people are
reading the most relevant messages from you at the right
time. Company status updates are accessible from your
LinkedIn Company Page

Embrace & Encourage employees to be on LinkedIn.
A simple way to expand your company's network is to
encourage your employees to create and actively use
LinkedIn profiles of their own. Upon connecting with your
employees, you open your own network to their pool of
second-degree connections. These could be valuable
customers and clients you weren't connected with before.
8. .
Share interesting and engaging information.
One way to boost engagement among your connections is to
get them talking about relevant and timely news in your
industry. You can do this by sharing links to interesting stories
and asking questions about the posts you share.

Set up your profile to be found.
Millions of people search LinkedIn every day. You want your
company's profile to stand out. When deciding your profile
language, be sure to include keywords that are related to
your business and industry to help improve the chances of
your name appearing in LinkedIn's search results. What
would a potential client type in when seeking to use a service
like yours?
10. .
Avoid buzzwords.
If you've described your business as "creative," "effective" or
"innovative," you might want to consider saying something
different. Cliché style buzzwords won't help your profile stand
out and they might not accurately convey your professional
identity on the site. This could act as a deterrent to others.
11. .
Endorsements and recommendations are vital.
These are your customer testimonials on LinkedIn. Nothing
draws business like a good recommendation. Ask customers
to write a recommendation and endorse your company for its
skills or services. Endorse others first and try not to bulk
message your contacts for endorsements, try segmenting
your network into different lists and writing a more personal
message
