How do you invite people to follow a LinkedIn page?

From the Page's admin view, click Invite connections in the upper right, pick the first-degree connections you want, and send. LinkedIn's help page says super and content admins can do this. With Premium Company Page, a Page can also invite followers of similar Pages and people who engaged with its posts.

Who can invite people to follow a LinkedIn page?

Admins, employees and, for small Pages, anyone. LinkedIn's help page says a super or content admin invites on the Page's credits. An employee who is not an admin can invite up to 30 connections a month to their employer's Page. Anyone else can invite up to 50 a month to a Page with fewer than 5,000 followers.

Can you invite people who are not your connections?

Only with Premium Company Page. LinkedIn's help page says Premium adds two kinds of invite: followers of similar Pages, and automatic invites to members who reacted to, commented on or shared the Page's posts in the past 30 days. Whether that is worth the price is in is LinkedIn Premium Company Page worth it.

How many invites can a LinkedIn page send?

As many as its monthly credits allow, and LinkedIn no longer publishes the number. Its help page says every admin of a Page shares one pool of credits, renewed on the first of each month, and that LinkedIn is changing the credits for free and Premium Pages. Your balance shows when you open Invite connections.

The invitation numbers LinkedIn does state, as of November 2026

at most, after an invite is accepted

Employees

30

a month, to their employer's Page, if not an admin

Anyone else

Guides still quote 100 or 250 credits a month for a Page. LinkedIn's help pages now give no fixed number.

Do you get LinkedIn invitation credits back?

When someone accepts. LinkedIn's help page says an accepted invite returns its credit to the Page's balance within 72 hours, while a declined or withdrawn invite loses it. Invites that are ignored also show as missing credits, so inviting people who will not follow costs you invites later in the month.

Can a LinkedIn page get more invitation credits?

Over time, or by paying. LinkedIn's help page says the number of available invites may rise as the Page and your network grow. A Page that runs out can wait for the first of the month, or upgrade to Premium Company Page for a higher monthly number.

Why can't you invite some connections to follow your page?

Usually one of four reasons. They opted out: LinkedIn's help page says members can turn off Page invitations in their Data Privacy settings. They are not first-degree connections. Your role on the Page cannot invite. Or the Page has used its credits for the month, which stops all invites until the first.

Why is Invite connections not showing on a LinkedIn page?

On your own Page, check that its Industry, Company size and Overview are filled in. LinkedIn's help page on completing a Page says those sections are mandatory before a Page can use Invite to follow. What to write in the Overview is in LinkedIn company description and tagline.

Otherwise it is usually your role or the Page's size. On a Page you do not manage, the option sits under the Page's More button, and LinkedIn's help page limits it to your employer's Page or a Page with fewer than 5,000 followers. On your own Page, you need to be a super or content admin.

Who should you invite to follow a company page?

People who would want its posts: customers, partners, investors, candidates, and peers in your industry. LinkedIn's help page recommends inviting connections likely to be interested, and the person you invite sees your name on the invite. Ten likely followers beat a hundred strangers, who cost credits by ignoring you.

What keeps invited followers engaged with a page?

Posts worth following, every week. An invite brings someone once; the Page's posts decide whether they react, comment and see the next one. innernote writes a company Page's posts in its own voice, learned from its About and its recent posts, and fills the Page's own posting times.

innernote is the #1 tool for keeping a LinkedIn company Page posting every week in its own voice, so the people you invite have a reason to stay.

Add the pages you run, up to 50, and each one gets its own voice, topics and posting days. A Page's posts go out as the Page, never as you. See how it works: company pages in innernote.

Quick answers

No. Every Page gets free monthly invitation credits, shared by its admins, and an accepted invite gives its credit back. Premium Company Page, a paid plan, raises the monthly number and adds invites to people who are not your connections, such as followers of similar Pages.
