While Facebook and Twitter lead social conversations, LinkedIn, with its 17,800,000 quot;
group membersquot;
, leads business conversations.<br />The choice is no longer, do we participate, but how we do, according to Melbourne-based LinkedIn expert Jennifer Bishop, who is recognised as a top global LinkedIn influencer.<br />quot;
The only thing you will get from burying your head in the sand is the sand kicked in your eyes,quot;
Bishop said. quot;
Think Harvey Norman's response earlier this year to negative social media sentiment. The key question is how do organisations manage themselves and their employees by establishing social media policy and guidelines that mitigate social media risk?quot;
<br />Bishop explained that to understand the SEO power of LinkedIn, all you have to do is Google a person's name to pull up their LinkedIn profile. She added that LinkedIn usually appears before either a Facebook or Twitter reference.<br />quot;
To manage the corporate brand, you should have all employees registered on LinkedIn, all with correct links back to the 'company website' and to your 'company profile' on LinkedIn. Each comment, update or post on LinkedIn should constitute a business interaction and should 'always' reflect an organisations corporate brand guidelines and policies.quot;
<br />LinkedIn's SEO power has now been magnified with the inclusion of open groups, LinkedIn signal, and LinkedIn today (its new news site). These provide more opportunities for professional commentary which are searchable via Google and other search engines.<br />quot;
For large corporations this will mean revisiting your Brand Manual and Guide lines to ensure that these guidelines extend to representations about the organisation in any online format such as social media,quot;
said Bishop. quot;
This would include Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.quot;
<br />In addition, a Professional Business Conduct Policy can incorporate appropriate behaviour, attire, conduct and language in both an on and offline environment.<br />quot;
That is separate of course to comments that are made that could constitute libel, defamation or serious brand damage,quot;
Bishop added. quot;
And these statements should be included in any legal agreement between the employer and the employee.quot;
<br />LinkedIn also provides businesses with the ability to actively listen, watch, gather and learn from their customers and employees. The information gathered can be converted into employee advocacy, brand building and inspire loyalty much quicker than traditional methods.<br />quot;
In summary, make sure you understand the power and scope of branding tools like LinkedIn and realise that comments or profiles on these sites are most likely to be the first information found on your organisation. So If you take the time to learn and understand the platform, your opportunities to control your brand online are going to be far greater than the social media ostrich seated next to you.quot;
