Reach your target group step by step via LinkedIn
Determine your focus audience.This sounds easier than it is. If you haven’t figured it out yet, you can use handy exercises such as filling in a persona. For example, look at the top 50 of your customers. In which industry are they active? How big are the top companies? What is the job title of the person within your top companies that you deal with the most? What does he/she find really important as a person? All information does he/she find important and interesting? How does he/she get this information?
Complete your LinkedIn company page.It sounds so obvious, but regularly a number of basic things are forgotten when it comes to the company profile. Make sure you have entered your company name, placed a profile photo and header photo, and have entered all address details. Can the number of employees, industry, and a short description of the company be found on the page?
Strategy to target groups
Use keywords.You should now have a clear picture of your target audience. What information are they looking for? Make sure that certain keywords appear in, among other things, the description of the company and the posts you place. Use tools like the keyword planner in Google Ads, Ubersuggest, or Google Trends to find out which words are popular among your target audience.
Post relevant LinkedIn updates.You have now clearly mapped out what your target group is looking for. This can be information about the services you offer, industry news, vacancies, tips & tricks, a look behind the scenes at your organization… And so on!
