#1 Optimize Your Company OverviewOn your company page’s Overview tab, only the top portion of your company description is visible. Make the most of this real estate by giving followers a reason to follow the company page, and include a call to action.

Company Specialties — Use keywords when you list your “Company Specialties” to help your company get found when people are searching for companies like yours within LinkedIn.
#2 Plan Your Content Use LinkedIn Pulse to research
what other people in yourindustry are writing about.
Create a content calendar for regular updates about company news, new products and services.
Status updates that either create dialogue (grow your visibility) or contain a call to action (generate leads) are the most effective forms of updates.

TITLEcatchy
Choose the title of your post wisely. Every time you publish a post, your connections receive a notification in real time. This notification contains the title of your post, and the title of your post only.So it is critical that your title stands out.
#5 Leverage LinkedIn Publisher Insights LinkedIn Publisher analytics shows you how many people are viewing each post, the length of life of each post, reader demographics and the people who engage with your posts.
Use the first three demographics (industries, titles and locations) to make sure you’re attracting the right audience with your content.
These insights can help you refine your content development and lead generation strategy.

Experiment with different publish times and days to gauge the way your audience responds.
As a baseline to get you started, many companies time the posting of their status updates during the morning or midday during the business week for maximum exposure.
