What do you need before you create a LinkedIn Page?
A LinkedIn Page isn't a separate login. It's run by people, from their own personal accounts, so you start from your profile. LinkedIn's help centre lists what has to be true before the Create button works:
- A LinkedIn account of your own. Whoever creates the Page becomes its super admin.
- An account that is at least one day old. Brand-new accounts have to wait.
- More than one connection with other members. Connect with a few colleagues or customers first.
- The right to act on behalf of the business. You confirm this with a tick box during setup.
- A public URL for the Page that nobody else has taken, such as linkedin.com/company/your-business.
- Sometimes, a verified workplace. LinkedIn may ask you to verify the job on your profile by work email or Microsoft Entra Verified ID before it lets you continue.

Can you create a LinkedIn Page on your phone?
Yes on iPhone and iPad, no on Android. LinkedIn's help centre says creating a Page isn't supported on Android devices, so Android users need to use a computer. In the iOS app:
- Open any LinkedIn Page.
- Tap the More icon on the right and select Create a LinkedIn Page.
- Choose Company or Educational institution.
- Enter the company name, LinkedIn public URL, website, industry, company size and company type. The tagline is optional.
- Tick the box confirming you can act for the business.
- Tap Create in the upper-right corner.

Which type of LinkedIn Page should you choose?
LinkedIn has several Page types. A small business almost always starts with a Company Page, and the others hang off it later if you need them.
- Showcase Pages go inactive after six months without a post, so only create one you'll keep feeding.
- Super admins of the main Page don't automatically get access to its Showcase Pages; add admins to each.
| Page type | What it's for | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Company Page | Your business: posts, followers and analytics | Free; Premium is optional |
| Showcase Page | A brand, business unit or initiative with its own audience | An existing Company or University Page; up to 25 per Page |
| Service Page | Makes your services easier to find and lets members message you | A personal profile or a Company or University Page |
| Product Page | Your products, in set categories | An existing Company or University Page |
| Career Page | Culture and open roles, to attract hires | A paid Career Page licence |
| University Page | A university or school and its alumni | An educational institution |

What should you fill in before your first post?
A half-empty Page looks abandoned, and people check it before they buy. LinkedIn's own Pages guidance says Pages with complete information get 30% more weekly views. Fill these in first:
- Logo: LinkedIn recommends 400 x 400 pixels (minimum 268 x 268), PNG or JPEG, up to 3 MB.
- Cover image: LinkedIn lists 1,512 x 256 pixels, PNG or JPEG, up to 3 MB.
- Overview: say what you do, for whom and where, in plain words. LinkedIn suggests using the keywords people would search for.
- Website, industry, company size and location, so the right people find you.
- The call-to-action button, such as Visit website or Contact us.

How do you add other admins to your Page?
Don't leave the Page tied to one person. If that person leaves, you can lose control of it. Only a super admin can add admins:
- Open the Page's super admin view.
- Go to Settings and select Manage admins.
- Choose the Page admins tab (or Paid media admins for ad access).
- Click Add admin and search for the person.
- Select them, choose their admin role and click Save.
- The person must follow the Page and be a 1st, 2nd or 3rd-degree connection.
- Each person can hold only one Page admin role. Super admins and content admins can post; every admin role can see analytics.

Why can't I create a LinkedIn Page?
LinkedIn's troubleshooting page lists the usual reasons and the fix for each:
- Don't work around it by making a personal profile with the business name. LinkedIn says profiles that represent businesses rather than real people may be flagged.
| Reason | What to do |
|---|---|
| A Page with that name exists | If it's yours, request admin access; if not, pick a different URL |
| Too few connections | Connect with more than one member, then try again |
| Account too new | Wait at least one day after creating your account |
| Too many Pages created recently | Wait a few days before trying again |
| URL already taken | Choose a different public URL |
| Workplace not verified | Verify by work email or Microsoft Entra Verified ID |
| None of the above | Clear your browser cache and cookies or try another browser |

Where Zolyp fits
Zolyp, which publishes this guide, is our own product, so weigh this section with that in mind. Once the Page exists, Zolyp can publish to it: you connect LinkedIn and choose, under Connections, whether posts go out as your profile or as a company Page you manage. LinkedIn only shares comments and analytics for company Pages, so posting as the Page also lets Zolyp show both. LinkedIn is one of the 9 platforms it publishes to (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Business, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Threads), and you approve the week before anything goes live. Plans that create the posts start at $29 a month, with a 3-day free trial.
