Facebook isn’t the only one making changes to its layout and brand page offerings. LinkedIn recently announced that it is changing its Company Pages as of April 14, 2014.LinkedIn has decided to remove the Product and Services tab; companies will no longer be able to utilize that area to list their offerings (until that date, you can edit, but not add, content to this section).
As of right now, LinkedIn has not announced anything that will be replacing Products and Services. Instead, they suggest using one of their existing options: Company Updates or Showcase Pages.
Why to use Company Updates
- Updates appear on your Company Page and followers’ feeds.
- Updates are shared with your followers’ connections when your followers interact with you.
- Updates are real-time offerings.
