Important things to note when inviting people to your page:
- We recommend inviting warm connections and those who are likely to be interested in your company’s page. Members can opt out of receiving page initiations through their network settings.
- Your company has a total of 250 available initiations. Sending each invitation requires one credit. If your invitation is accepted, the credit is returned. Each month, LinkedIn grants another 250 invitation credits to your company page, shared by all admins. Credits do not roll over.

Posting on a Company Page vs. Your Personal Profile
It is very easy to post accidentally, repost, comment, or like LinkedIn posts from the company page you are an admin of.
Follow these steps to ensure you are posting, reposting, commenting, and liking from your personal page.
Step 1: Find a post you’d like to interact with.
WARNING: Do not use the instant repost feature.
Using the instant repost feature may cause a duplicate post on your company page.
Step 2: Check and update which LinkedIn account you are interacting from.
Under the post, there are four icons. If the left-most symbol is your company logo, you are interacting as your company through your company page. If the symbol that appears is your personal profile picture, you are interacting as yourself through your personal page.
Click the left-most icon to switch between interacting from a company page to your personal page.
A pop-up window will appear. Here, select the account you’d like to interact as and click save.
Step 3: Post, repost, comment, like, and share!
When reposting any piece of content, you should always add your own comments. This allows personalization, the opportunity to provide context, demonstrate authenticity, encourage engagement, differentiate your post, and potentially improve visibility.
