Add a LinkedIn account
Add a LinkedIn profile or Page to Hootsuite to manage it from the same place as your other social media accounts. When you add a LinkedIn account to Hootsuite, you can publish to it, engage with your audience, create reports, and more. Each LinkedIn user can connect up to 100 Pages, including Showcase and University Pages.
Super admins, admins, and those with custom organization permissions to Add Social Networks can add social accounts to organizations.

Before you begin
If you're adding a Page to Hootsuite, make sure that your personal LinkedIn account is a Super admin of the Page. You'll sign in with your LinkedIn account to give Hootsuite access to your Pages, but you don't need to add your personal LinkedIn profile to Hootsuite. To learn more, see LinkedIn Page Admin Roles - Overview in the LinkedIn Help Center.
