10 Tools for Scheduling Posts on Your Organization’s LinkedIn Page

A person is walking a bike down a city street while looking at a phone.

You’ve put in all the work to create a complete, high-quality LinkedIn Page. You’ve taken the steps to research and analyze your audience, conceiving a pipeline of content you’ll share to keep followers aware and engaged. In fact, you’ve even composed several updates and planned out when you’re going to push each one live.

But that last simple step — actually getting the posts published onto your Page — often becomes a sticking point. Over the course of the week, other things come up. Teammates get pulled away in other directions. Notifications slip. Wires get crossed.

This leaves many marketers asking the same question:

Can you schedule posts on a LinkedIn Page?

It would be nice to get a batch of updates all squared away at once so you don’t have to think about them again, right? Well, we have good news: The answer is YES, you can indeed schedule posts on your company’s LinkedIn Page, with help from any number of third-party tools that integrate with LinkedIn Pages smoothly through our community of marketing partners.

We’ll dive into the “how” shortly, but first, here are a few reasons why you might consider setting up a scheduling system for LinkedIn content.

Benefits of scheduling posts on your LinkedIn Page

Maintain a consistent cadence. Scheduling a number of posts ahead of time makes it easier to ensure you have comprehensive coverage of the week(s) ahead. You can see gaps that might emerge and avoid gaps in content, which is important because Pages that publish regularly can double their engagement.

Minimize lapses and cross-ups. We mentioned it earlier: for a busy team, it’s all too common for a task like publishing on LinkedIn to get lost in your day-to-day shuffle. Assignments get mixed up, or the person responsible gets caught up with another task, or the office Internet goes down. As a result, a timely post doesn’t go live. Getting your updates locked in through a scheduling tool eliminates this risk.

Maximize your team’s productivity. Even if you’re not missing posts, the person (or people) responsible for pushing them live still has to spend time making it happen. When you efficiently schedule a batch, those individuals can free up their focus for other things, like analyzing results and optimizing future content. Additionally, this makes posting much more streamlined for people who manage accounts across multiple social networks.
