Post to your personal LinkedIn profile or to Company Pages, the Page role you need, and how long each connection lasts.
On this page
Social9 posts to LinkedIn in two ways: as you, on your personal profile, or as a Company Page you manage. They are connected separately, with two buttons.
Where to find it#
Dashboard → Channels → LinkedIn. The card has two buttons: + Profile and + Company Page.
LinkedIn is on every plan, including Free.
Your personal profile#
- Press + Profile.
- Sign in to LinkedIn and allow Social9 to post.
One LinkedIn login is one profile, so once it is connected to a brand the button shows a tick.
A Company Page#
- Press + Company Page.
- Sign in to LinkedIn with an account that manages the Page, and allow Social9.
- Every Company Page you can post to is connected to the brand.
The role you need#
You must be a Super admin or Content admin of the Page. Other Page roles cannot post.
If you get "This LinkedIn account isn't a Super admin or Content admin of any Company Page", ask a Page admin to give you one of those roles in LinkedIn, then connect again.
Pages you start managing later#
Press Add more pages on the LinkedIn card. Social9 picks up the new Pages.
Company Page connections renew themselves and last about a year.
