How do you see who follows your LinkedIn company page?

In the Page's analytics, under Followers, then All followers. LinkedIn's help page says the list shows current followers with their employer and the date they followed, newest first, with a switch between people and other Pages. The total updates once a day and is rounded, so it can differ a little from the list.

Why did my company page lose followers overnight?

Often because LinkedIn stopped counting some accounts. Its help page says restricted and hibernated accounts are not included in a Page's follower total, so a Page can drop with no one unfollowing. Other reasons a count falls are in why your follower count drops.

Can you export your LinkedIn company page followers?

The numbers, yes; the names, only through LinkedIn's data API. An admin can export the Followers tab as an XLS file from Analytics. A list of who follows comes through the Pages Data Portability API, which LinkedIn's help page says covers only members who leave their data export setting on.

Can members stop a page from exporting their data?

Yes. LinkedIn's help page says members can turn off the Page owners exporting your data setting, and then their profile details are not exported with their interactions. Page owners can still see their profile on LinkedIn, and the setting does not affect aggregated numbers.

Can you remove or block a follower from a LinkedIn page?

You can block them; LinkedIn's help pages describe no way to remove them. Its help page says super and content admins can block a member from the Page for spam, harassment, scams or misinformation. A blocked member can no longer comment on the Page's posts, reshare them or message the Page.

What happens when you block someone from a LinkedIn page?

They are not told, and their old comments and messages stay visible. LinkedIn's help page says a blocked member can still find and view the Page, and its posts may still reach their feed. The block only stops them interacting, and an admin can lift it at any time.

How do you get real followers instead of buying them?

Invite people who know you, and post things worth following every week. LinkedIn bans fake accounts and fake engagement, including services that try to manipulate its algorithms, and accounts that use them risk restriction. innernote writes a company Page's posts in its own voice and fills the Page's own posting days.

Can you buy followers for a LinkedIn company page?

Not safely. LinkedIn's help page on prohibited software bans fake accounts and fake engagement, and its help page on follower analytics says restricted accounts drop out of a Page's total. Bought followers that come from fake accounts can disappear from the count, and the Page that paid for them is the one at risk.
