How to delete a company page on LinkedIn
Linkedin is the world's largest professional social networking platform. It mainly focuses on creating and strengthening professional relationships, helping employers find the right employees and job seekers to find job and internship opportunities. It also provides a good platform for people to learn skills needed to improve their careers.
Similar to other social networking platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn also allows the creation of a company page that allows enterprises to post and promote their products and services.
For some reason, it may come to a point where you no longer need the page and would like to delete it on LinkedIn.
However, you should take precautions and be very sure when making such a decision as it will have several impacts.
When you delete a page, it will completely disappear from your profile and the whole of LinkedIn. People will no longer be able to see it. It will disappear from search results. You will lose all the information and posts that you have added to it, its followers, comments, and likes. The links to it that you have shared on different platforms will no longer work.
All the associations of the current and former employees to the page will be removed. This may have a negative impact on their careers.
When a page is deleted, you will not be able to recreate a page with the same URL.
