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.

Does anyone have a great way to determine where your new Twitter followers are finding you?
We are enjoying some good success with finding new Twitter followers for our account, but the majority of the new followers do not seem to be coming as a result of our posts. How can I determine where these new followers are finding us? Google Analytics can explain those coming from our website but what about the others? Thanks to all for helping!

Should I be worried about a duplicate content issues between LinkedIn and my blog posts?
I sometimes take my original LinkedIn post and repost it to my blog. Since Google indexes LinkedIn posts, is there any need to worry about duplicate content issues? Or will Google recognize the common author/ownership?

Special result for linkedin when you search for 'link'
Hello everyone, I found this merely by chance. I wanted to open linkedin on chrome and hasty as I am i just typed 'link'. Wanted google to understand and return linkedin as the first result so i could just click on it. This is what it returned. Google allows you to search directly on Linkedin from the results page. Its quite fascinating for me. I hope my knowledge isn't too outdated. R0mp9aO

Does Traffic help improve my page rank?
I've learned many things to do to improve my page rank over the past several months (thanks, seomoz). Our website, www.farnorthkennel.com, has improved greatly thanks to your help. Here's my question. I have 13000 fans on FB. If they all read a blog post I put up, does this help my page rank? Does new visitors hitting up my website make the Google gods smile upon me?

Is a Tumblr company blog good for SEO?
Hi, We are in the process of gaining coverage and visibility over our SaaS service. And one of the work we're doing is, very much standardly, having our pro blog with content. I see that most of companies/people are using a WordPress or a Blogger blog to achieve this. Another school is choosing Tumblr, which is a rising star. But then I can't help to feel that there is something wrong with Tumblr. It doesn't appear in Google search at all... It is never in the top of the searches. And sometimes even search for an exact match of a known post extract won't show the Tumblr link into google Search. What it means to me is that Tumblr has a very poor SEO-friendly policy. I was also reading in different posts that it was indeed the case. Tumblr is bad for SEO. I can't help but feeling confused and not really understanding how such a big social blogging engine couldn't get into google search... Or are they going twitter-like? I guess my question will be: "Is it good to have chosen Tumblr, or should I switch to either WordPress.com or Blogger using a custom DNS?" Thanks for reading.

Facebook Page not in Search
My Facebook page does not show up within the first 50 results of a search for my brand. I have over 3,000 fans and am relatively active so it should be there. On the second page of SERPs for my brand there is a Facebook page of a spammy looking affiliate with 15 fans. On the third page my Facebook test page appears. Any ideas about what happened with my page? Is it possible Google penalized my Facebook page - and if so, how do I fix that? I checked the admin again and the page is open to the public and when I do a search for "brand facebook" it appears. Thanks for your help!
