Highlight Your Products And Services With Linkedin Showcase Pages

One of the newer features introduced by LinkedIn are Showcase Pages. They are essentially subpages of your company page, and are used for spotlighting specific aspects of your business. Each Showcase Page should focus on a single aspect such as a product, or service, or any other specific thing about your company that you would like to highlight.

Showcase Pages are especially helpful to visitors who want to quickly zero in on just one thing. Larger companies with popular, well known products, can give the products their own separate page. This spares visitors who are looking for a specific item, the effort of sifting through other aspects of your company that they may have little interest in. If you sell pet foods, then people looking for dog food can go straight to the dog food page, without having to see your bird food product. Similarly, people wanting to learn about your customer service, won't have to view your job listings.

As with anything posted online, if the search engines find it, it will get listed. So you can SEO your different Showcase Pages, by placing your keyword in the title and within the content. By listing specific services or products separately on their own properly SEO'd Showcase Page, there is a greater chance of it getting listed prominently in the search engines for its specific keyword.
