How to set up a LinkedIn company profile so a non employee can manage it E-mail
Monday, 23 July 2012 11:22
  1. Make sure you have an email address from your company domain. For example  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it is fine if your company web address is www.MyCompany.com, you cannot set up a company page with a Gmail, hotmail, yahoo or service provider email address – LinkedIn uses this as a way to weed out not-so-serious companies from the real and legitimate companies.
  2. Add your company email address to your emails on LinkedIn
    1. Login to your LinkedIn personal page
    2. Scroll over your name in the top right corner
    3. Select Settings
    4. Beside Primary Email click the Change link (note: you do not have to set this email to be your primary email address)
    5. Enter in your email address with the domain that matches your company website and click Add Email Address
    6. Go to your email inbox and click the link in the confirmation email to validate the address
  3. Claim your company page
    1. From your LinkedIn personal profile click Companies at the top of the page
    2. Select Add a Company from the top right of the Companies page
    3. Enter the Company Name and the Email address from the company domain, click off the box to say you are an official representative of the business
    4. Go to your email inbox and click the link in the confirmation email to validate the address
  4. Assign a Designated User to manage your page
    1. From your new company page select Designated users only
    2. The person that will be managing your page must be on LinkedIn and you must already be connected; begin typing their name in the Manage Admins box, they should pop up
    3. Click on their name to add them to the list of Admins
    4. Add the required information for setting up a company page: Description, Company Type, Size, URL, Industry and Status (these can be edited by the Admin later but must be populated to activate the page)
    5. Click Publish in the top right corner of the page
    6. The new Admin will receive an email notification that they have been set up to manage the account
