Company pages can achieve more significant growth in impressions, likes, and follows by leaving well-crafted, entertaining comments on posts from industry thought leaders, rather than solely focusing on creating original in-feed posts.

A powerful LinkedIn strategy involves a two-part approach: use your main posts to share a contrarian or challenging point of view to capture attention and establish expertise. Then, in the comments section, remain unfailingly positive and supportive—even when disagreeing—to build relationships and goodwill.

Don't wait for large corporate campaigns to get audience feedback. Marketers should be "religiously" creating content on their personal social channels to micro-test messaging, language, and program ideas. This provides a direct, rapid feedback loop on what the audience actually cares about, enabling content-led innovation.

LinkedIn's algorithm now favors comments. By commenting with value-add content (like memes or insights) on popular posts, a company page can gain more impressions and followers than from its own feed posts. This "post within a post" strategy is highly effective for growth.

LinkedIn now shows impression metrics for comments, signaling their importance. Strategically leaving thoughtful, entertaining comments on others' posts can drive more page growth and followers than original feed posts. Treat comments like mini-posts to test content ideas.

Stop thinking of content as a one-way broadcast. A sophisticated approach involves creating posts designed to provoke responses. Then, systematically mine the comments for raw, unfiltered consumer insights, effectively turning your social channels into a free, real-time market research platform.

The easiest way to increase your visibility is to consistently comment on other people's content. To make this effective, be strategic: comment on posts by industry leaders where your target audience will see your name, photo, and headline in a relevant context.

Use comments on others' LinkedIn posts as a low-risk testing ground for new content formats or edgier ideas. If a comment flops, the impact is minimal. If it succeeds, it validates the idea for a future post on your company's page, bypassing initial brand guardrails.

LinkedIn shows impressions on comments, allowing marketers to prove ROI. A strategic commenting plan can now be a core part of a content strategy, sometimes yielding more reach than original posts. This shifts focus from just publishing to engaging with others.
