Linkwiz guides

Follow the people and ideas that help your work.

Build a more useful feed. Follow your company, learn from relevant voices and keep the sources that help you contribute.

Your Interests section can show Top Voices, Companies, Schools, Newsletters and Groups you follow, subscribe to or join. Following other professionals also shapes your feed, but not every person you follow appears in Interests.

Show the companies you follow.

Build a useful mix of interests.

Follow people whose work you want to learn from

Read recent posts before following an industry voice. Look for useful examples, informed discussion and a perspective relevant to your work. A Top Voice badge can help you discover someone, but their actual content matters more than the badge.

Include your company and the organizations you work with

Follow your employer’s official Page, then customers, partners and industry organizations whose updates you want to see. Unfollow Pages that no longer help you keep up with the work you do.

Use newsletters and groups deliberately

Subscribe to newsletters that cover questions you encounter professionally. Search for Groups by topic and check whether recent discussions are useful before joining. Public and private Groups have different visibility rules; review those before posting.

Schools can appear through followed school Pages, too. Interests is built from what you follow, subscribe to or join, rather than a free text list of hobbies. See what appears in Interests.

Review your feed after changing what you follow. Keep the sources that help you learn and find conversations worth joining. Turn a relevant discussion into a useful contribution.

Help employees keep up with the company Page.

Create your company report in Linkwiz and include your employees’ LinkedIn profiles. The report runs 19 checks across Profile, Engagement and Networking, with employee results, evidence and recommended next steps.

For this guide, use Following: are employees following the company Page? The matrix below identifies the people who need a review. Belle’s finding shows that the official Page is missing from her followed companies.

Evidence

The official Walt Page is not listed among the followed companies.

Recommended next step

Follow the official company Page to keep up with its posts.

Share the official company Page with employees who have an Optimize result. Their other followed companies, newsletters and groups remain their choice. This check does not grade every interest on their profile.
