Getting Connections to Follow LinkedIn Company Page
-
I've just started a freelance contract with a client promoting their content over social media, primarily Twitter and LinkedIn.
As I've started to manager their accounts, I noticed they have set up both a personal LinkedIn page under the company name as well as a Company Page.
The "personal" account has 330 connections but the Company Page only has 17 followers. Has anyone had success with a good strategy for quickly and effectively promoting the Company Page to the personal connections?
I'd like to actually migrate the connections over to the Company Page, which should be the primary focus.
Thanks for any help.

Richard and Vadim have some great points. I'd also look into an email marketing campaign to highlight some notes about LinkedIn and profile what and how your company uses LinkedIn to engage with Groups, updates, industry news, etc.
Hope this was helpful to compliment the other ideas.

You can also
- follow other companies on LinkedIn; some will follow you back.
- Add the page URL to your email signature
- https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins + https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/company-profile-plugin add follow company profile to pages
Hope this helps

Carl,
To begin with we would throw away the "personal company page". I would hazard to guess that most people connected with that page because of the name attached to it. (Either the Owner/President or the Marketer behind it.)
Here are some suggestions though to build up the company page:
- Turn the personal page into the Owner page and use it as a ghost account.
- Have the personal profile shoot out updates and occasionally share the brand's updates.
- Engage with people using the personal profile in relevant groups.
- Have the entire company like the page.
- Use LinkedIn Ads, to promote the brand.
- Have the company use the company page to post jobs. (LinkedIn by default has you follow the brand you're applying to on LinkedIn.)
Those are some quick thoughts. Sadly there's no magic bullet, the goal is to interact and actually use the platform as it should be...but in particular posting jobs is a great way to increase it.

Facebook Share from personal wall to fan page
Is it possible to share a post from someone's personal FB wall to a company fan page if they have the permissions set to allow this? I often get a message that a share was denied and I'm not sure if shares from personal to business fan pages are always denied or if this is controlled by the person's privacy settings.

Whats more beneficial - Google+1 on your website or Your Google+ Page
Hi From an SEO perspective what is the most beneficial getting +1 of your homepage or trying to get customers to click on your actual Google+ Page - or are they linked in some way? As the importance that Google are/will place on this cannot be ignored My concerns regarding Google+ are that I believe in the UK at least, most active consumers are not on Google+ (not sure what its like in the USA) many may not even have a google account, especially of their email is with the likes of hotmail or aol. The people who are using Google+ are other companies, web pros,marketing pros etc and not your target audience in many cases
