How to Set Up Your LinkedIn Profile Page for Your REI Business
In our last article about LinkedIn, we discussed the importance of having a LinkedIn business profile page for your real estate investing company. Now that you understand the ‘why’ of LinkedIn, it’s time to understand the ‘how’ of LinkedIn. Below, we provide a quick guide on how to set up your LinkedIn business page.
Some Things to Consider Before You Set Up Your Profile Page:
1. Prepare Your Information Before You Set Up Your Page
LinkedIn provides numerous ways for you to share just about everything you would want to share about your personal profile or your business page. What can people see on your profile?
Profile name (Personal or Business) | Photo |
Work or business history | Website information |
Specialties | Location |
Organization (employees) | Summary or Overview |
There are other options for providing detailed information on your profile. Before you create your page, it’s a good idea to spend a few minutes and prepare your information in advance. If you have a team, you may want to get their input as well.
2. Make Sure Your Information Is Accurate
For the safety and trust of all members on LinkedIn, you must have a personal profile that reflects your true first and last name to create a Page or help manage one. So, make sure you create a personal profile before you create a business page.
If you create a personal profile with the name of a business, association, or group, your account may be flagged as spam or abuse. So, do not use a personal profile as a business profile. Keep in mind that you can keep your personal profile private and only provide minimal information if you just want to publish and promote your business.
3. Link Your Personal Page and Business Page
That brings us to our next point. You are allowed to have both a personal profile and a business profile. A personal profile focuses on your individual professional image. You can share information about your current role or position, career history, education, skills, and interests.
The business page focuses solely on the company information we discussed earlier. You can create a personal profile and a business page and then link them. Note: Remember, the ability to create a personal or business profile page is currently only available on your desktop computer.

You can add, edit, or remove page admins through the super admin view or an email notification process. The super admin role is automatically assigned to the creator of a page. Super admins will receive admin requests through their activity tab and can view pending requests through their admin tools.

Here’s how you do it:
1. Access your Page Super admin view.
2. Click the Admin tools dropdown at the top of the page and select Manage admins.
3. Click the Page admins or Paid media admins tab.
