The LinkedIn algorithm has shifted again.

And what does that mean for Company Pages?

The goalposts have shifted.

But while most brands keep doing what doesn't work and blaming the algorithm,

you're here to learn what does.

So let's get into it.

G'Day Everyone.

It's Coach Michelle J Raymond, your trusted advisor for building your

brand and your business on LinkedIn, and it's great to have everyone back.

It seems that when it comes to the LinkedIn algorithm that you guys

just can't get enough of this.

Things are blowing up.

We've covered the actual changes in one episode, followed up by the content

strategy that I think you need to change that is aligned with the new algorithm.

And I thought it's only fair that we talk about how this will impact

your LinkedIn Company Page as well.

So if you're a Company Page Admin, Social Media Manager, this episode is for you.

Because algorithm changes don't just impact personal

content, they also impact Pages.

And let's be clear things for Company Pages have been getting harder and harder

and harder for as long as I've been looking at them over the last five years.

Things aren't going to ever get easier in this game.

Why?

I've just heard that LinkedIn's gone over 1.2 billion members.

The platform keeps growing and that means competition is fierce.

This means that those Page Admins who wanna stand out from their industry

and make sure that your Company Page is leading the way, we can't just

do what everybody else is doing.

So in today's episode, I'm gonna be talking about what shifted with the

algorithm as far as Pages are concerned.

We're gonna have a look at why I think most Company Page

strategies are seriously broken.

But last but not least, my framework that I think can really help Pages if they

start to follow it, smash this algorithm out of the way and keep having success.

After this quick word from our podcast sponsors, Metricool,

we're gonna go into it.

So stick around.

What has changed for LinkedIn Company Pages over the last three to six months?

Well, I'm glad you asked, because this is something that I honestly think with

the changes to the algorithm that have happened in June, if you wanna know

more about those, I did a whole episode on it two episodes ago, so go back

and listen to that one first of all.

But ultimately, I think that this shift from reach to relevancy.

Is not really gonna have a big impact on Company Pages.

Why?

Because realistically, reach ie, the number of impressions that you get for

your posts is something that Company Pages haven't seen in a long time.

That's not to say that there aren't some really amazing Pages out there

that are doing some great stuff, but in general, for most mere

mortals that are running Pages that are reasonably small they aren't

seeing their posts in the home feed.

Take one look at it for yourself.

You are going to see lots of personal posts followed by lots of ads.

Mix in with some more personal posts, and then eventually a Company

Page posts will show up somewhere.

Which is pretty heartbreaking if you are a Company Page Admin for a Page

and doing your damnedest to make sure that your content is being seen

for your brand when realistically the game is stacked against you.

And it might be unfair, but it's the game that we play.

And as I always say, it's LinkedIn's sandpit we choose to play in it.

It's their rules.

So rather than complain about it, that is not what we're gonna

be doing in today's episode.

I am literally gonna be sharing with you my P.A.G.E. Advocacy framework,

so you are going to get the lowdown on how that will help you beat

this LinkedIn algorithm change.

Because everything to do with this change from an algorithm perspective.

Be it for Pages or be it for Profiles is all about trying to connect

you as a member to opportunities.

Now Pages can provide opportunities for other people just as much.

If you've got a Company Page that is literally just posting and

ghosting IE, you schedule your content, it goes out, and that's the

last time you ever think about it.

You are going to see your numbers plummet because the new LinkedIn

algorithm is all about engagement.

Where is the engagement happening?

And that's how it's determining the connections.

And there's probably one thing that's been happening, which I'm gonna talk

about in the broken strategies section that has been absolutely pressing

my buttons over the last few weeks.

And for one brand, it's been pushing my buttons for almost a year now, and

I don't know what to do I think I'm gonna reach out to them directly 'cause

I want to scream, they are doing such a bad job at this and I don't want

your brand to make the same mistake.

When it comes to the LinkedIn algorithm, just know it is not a one size fits all.

I never want you to get hung up and thinking that the secret to

your Page success is focusing on what makes the algorithm happy.

It is absolutely never gonna get you anywhere, but I promise you, the P.A.G.E

Advocacy framework that we're gonna be talking about in this episode, I think

is going to get you closer to your goals.

After this , I'm gonna talk about why I think most Company

Page strategies are broken.

The first thing that I wanna say is I don't think that any Company Page

Admin out there, whether you are an internal marketer or a third party

managing somebody else's Company Page sets out to deliberately do a crap job.

Quite the opposite.

Company Pages really are hard and the amount of effort that you need

to go to for such small rewards, sometimes you may wonder, why

are we even bothering with this?

I totally get it.

I've been there myself.

When we are looking at the biggest strategy problems that I'm coming

across, especially when I'm doing Company Page audits with brands, it's

actually getting back to the basics.

Number one, old school Pages broadcast at their audience.

ie we talk at you and we actually don't care what you have to say.

And the content plan is all built around.

What do we want to tell you?

Not what kind of content can we create in service of you?

So we schedule all of our content, we put it out there,

and then we'd leave it with you.

You won't hear from us until we have the next round of posts going out.

And Company Pages that are just relying on a posting content strategy

are going to get left behind.

I don't think it will work.

I don't think it's gonna get easier in 2025, 2026 and beyond.

You have to have a level of activity for your page where you turn your page into

your brand's biggest cheerleader, biggest advocate, and even biggest thought leader.

Yeah, I said it.

Brands can be thought leaders just as much as individuals can, but not if

you're just talking at your audience.

I think from there we move on to something I've covered recently in

another episode of the podcast, which is all about having your Page in

alignment with the rest of the business.

None of this the marketing team looks after the Page and it's its

own little silo while the rest of the employees go off and do their

own thing and nobody talks to each other, and I see it all the time.

A simple sign, are your employees liking your Company Page content?

Is the Company Page liking the employee's content?

That is a very simple win that you can get that teaches the algorithm what is

relevant to both audiences, and make sure that we start to see that Power of

Two, where they're both working together.

The third problem that I see with broken strategies is that your Company Page

literally just sits on the sideline.

It is not proactively out there supporting people in your industry, your target

clients, your collaborative partners, whether it's a supplier, whether it's a

manufacturer, whether it's a distributor, like there are so many different brand

connections that make up an industry.

And if your Page is only worried about commenting on

your own posts and responding to those, then we have a problem.

And this is my bug bear that has been going on for a year

now with the Arnott's Group.

Everybody on LinkedIn knows I talk about Tim Tams at least once a week,

and nobody from the Arnott's Group, whenever I've tagged them, has

responded to any of these posts at all.

Not even one.

There are so many brands that I see where they're tagged into

conversations and nobody even bothers to go and respond to those comments.

This needs to stop!

The LinkedIn algorithm loves relationships and Pages and brands have relationships

with their audience just as much.

Another way that you can make this easy for yourself is Company Pages can

follow other Company Pages, so you can make it super simple and have your own

dedicated feed of the brand Pages you want to make sure you are commenting on.

It could be your customers, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors.

It could be industry bodies.

It could be legal bodies that impact your industry.

Or maybe there's events that are going on, publications, like the list goes

on and on of the numbers of places your page should be out there commenting.

Brands that do this well are the brands where their Pages keep growing.

You wanna know who does this best, like Duolingo smashes this, and you might

think like, why would they bother when realistically they've got a Page with

hundreds of thousands of followers.

Everybody knows them like they're good on other social platforms, but

go and have a look at how many times they comment and respond to the times

that they have been tagged in posts.

Their Company Page when it responds 'cause it has a super cool personality.

Is generating hundreds of likes per comment on other people's posts, not

their own, on other people's posts.

'cause they're clear around what their brand is, what they

stand for, and that creativity.

So quick recap.

You wanna make sure that you're not broadcasting at your audience.

You wanna make sure that your team is in alignment.

Page and employees are in alignment.

Number three, please make sure that your page is actively responding

to comments at an absolute minimum, but proactively getting out there

and commenting is super important.

After this, as promised, I'm going to be sharing my P.A.G.E Advocacy framework

to you listeners to make sure that you have a way forward to beat the LinkedIn

algorithm for your Company Page.

P.A.G.E Advocacy framework, let's talk about it.

It's about using the Page as the biggest cheerleader for your employees,

for your business and your industry, the P.A.G.E Advocacy framework has

four steps to help remind you of what actions your Page should be taking.

Let's start with P is for play, and play is all about how can you get your page

out in the game, commenting on posts, and especially those of your employees, and

making sure that you have a presence on LinkedIn that goes beyond your own posts.

So how can you use comment as a page quickly and easily and strategically

to make sure that you plant little signposts around LinkedIn that

direct people back to your brand?

Next is

Amplify, which is the A in the P.A.G.E Advocacy framework.

Amplify is how can you create content that will highlight the key people in

your team, put them up on a pedestal, and really show people via the Page

content who the humans are in your brand.

They are what makes your brand different.

They are the totally unique part of your business that no one else could copy.

By amplifying their voices, be it showing them in your content or

reposting their content as the Page.

You are shining the spotlight on them.

Use the power of your brand to amplify the voices of your employees.

G is all about give to get.

Your page has to get out there and proactively support other people.

What happens then is people take notice.

The algorithm takes notice, and when you're out there

giving first, then guess what?

By human nature, we feel obligated to return the favour . It's

the law of reciprocity.

It is fascinating and there are so many different ways that we can do this.

But making sure that your Page is generous and actively out there

supporting other people, teaches those people, hey, when you see

our posts, give us some engagement.

Help us out.

And that is where the LinkedIn algorithm starts to see what's happening.

And I love that part.

E is all about establishing your brand.

And your brand's demand isn't built by bombarding people with calls to action.

Those calls to action like, download my white paper, visit our website,

read our blog, register for this event.

That is not how you establish a brand on LinkedIn.

What can you do instead?

Demand gen content looks to things like industry insights, educational

content, behind the scenes content, employee spotlights and thought

leadership posts specifically.

Now, does that mean it's not right to do at all?

Absolutely not.

But use it sparingly and think about what's a different way that we can get our

message to our audience to establish our brand without sending them off LinkedIn.

Give them clips, give them PDFs, give them a download that you

can do directly on LinkedIn.

Make it easy for your audience.

Accept that not every action on social is there to try and drive people to a

website, to sign up for your newsletter, to go into some kind of funnel.

So that's the P.A.G.E framework.

It is all about getting your Page actively out there, supporting key

people in your business, in the industry.

It's that give to get mentality, and it's all about establishing your brand.

This is how we beat the LinkedIn algorithm with no hacks.

As we wrap up today, here's the thing, Company Pages aren't dead, but they

do need a human proactive approach.

So your homework between now and next week's episode is to do a quick audit of

all of the posts on your Company Page.

Check, have you just been broadcasting and talking at your audience?

Number two, take a look and see, have you got mentions of your brand, either in post

or comments that you haven't responded to?

The third challenge, have you got calls to actions in your post that

are driving people off the platform to go and download white papers, attend

events, or anything along those lines?

I want you to mix it up.

How can you change those posts to make sure that people consume your

content where they're scrolling?

Have a go at these three things.

Let me know how it goes.

I look forward to next week's episode with Ty Heath from the B2B Institute.

I'm a huge fan girl of Ty's because I have learned so much from her

and I know that you guys will too.

So until next week, cheers.
