How do you create a LinkedIn company page?
From your own LinkedIn account: click For Business at the top right of the homepage, then Create a Company Page. Choose Company, fill in the name, URL, website, industry, size and type, and tick the box confirming you can act for the company. LinkedIn's help page says you then become the Page's super admin.

Can you create a LinkedIn company page on your phone?
On an iPhone, yes; on Android, no. LinkedIn's help page says Page creation works on desktop and in the iOS app, where you open any Page, tap More and choose Create a LinkedIn Page. Android phones do not support it, so use a computer instead.
Is it free to create a LinkedIn company page?
Yes. LinkedIn's help page says you can create a Page for free. Premium Company Page is an optional paid upgrade, and what it adds is in Is LinkedIn Premium Company Page worth it?.
Why can't I create a company page on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn's troubleshooting page, updated in 2026, lists the errors and their fixes. They include fewer than two connections, an account less than a day old, a URL already taken, and a workplace LinkedIn wants you to verify first. Android phones cannot create a Page at all.
LinkedIn's errors when creating a Page, and the fix for each

Connect with more than one person you know.

Wait at least one day after signing up.

If it is your company's, ask for admin access.
URL already in use
Pick another: LinkedIn's example turns abc into abcinc.
Unverified workplace
Verify by work email or Microsoft Entra Verified ID.
Too many Pages in a day
Wait a few days, then try again.

How many connections do you need to create a LinkedIn page?
More than one. LinkedIn's troubleshooting page says your account must have more than one connection with another member, so two is the least that works. A 2016 guide still found in search says the account must also be seven days old; the help page now says one day.
Can you create a LinkedIn company page without a personal profile?
No. LinkedIn's help page says you need a LinkedIn account, and its best practices page asks for a profile under your real first and last name, with its email confirmed. Do not make a personal profile for the business: LinkedIn's troubleshooting page says such profiles may be flagged as spam.
What does an unverified workplace error mean?
LinkedIn wants proof that you work where your profile says before you create the Page. Its troubleshooting page says to verify the workplace with a work email or with Microsoft Entra Verified ID. A work email means an address at the company's own domain.
What should you set up first on a new LinkedIn company page?
A second super admin, then every section of the Page, then your team. LinkedIn's best practices page says to add other super admins in case one leaves, because LinkedIn cannot replace or remove admins, and that complete Pages see 30% more weekly views.

Staff who add the Page as their employer can take 14 to 30 days to appear on it, and how to add employees to a LinkedIn company page covers the rest. The words for the tagline and About are in LinkedIn company description and tagline.
What are the rules for a LinkedIn company page URL?
Every Page URL is linkedin.com/company/ followed by a name you choose. LinkedIn's best practices page says it may hold lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens, cannot be only numbers, and cannot start or end with a hyphen. If your name is taken, try a variation of it.
