Reputation Management
Start out right with LinkedIn. Showcase your brand and
engage your target audience with your LinkedIn Hotel
Company Page.
The best way to improve follower engagement and
amplification is to experiment with different kinds of
content.
Page admins can see statistics (engagement rate,
impressions, “likes”, shares, and comments) below each
status update starting 24 hours after they post.
An important Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a post’s
Engagement Rate—the ratio of clicks, “likes”, comments
and shares to total update impressions.
As you post updates, note which subjects and formats
seem to drive the highest amplification rate—the ratio of
“likes”, comments, and shares to total update
impressions. This helps you understand how often
members are sharing your content.

LinkedIn Ads
Lead Collection is a feature in LinkedIn Ads that allows
advertisers to collect leads directly through their
LinkedIn ad campaigns. When this feature is enabled,
members who click on your ad will have an easy way to
request that you contact them.
People who click on your ad are taken to your landing

Once Lead Collection is enabled for any campaign,
your Ads Dashboard will have a Leads tab. You can
click on this tab to see the leads your campaigns have
collected. You'll also have the ability to filter your leads
