# Connect a LinkedIn profile or company page

> Add your personal LinkedIn profile or a LinkedIn company page you admin to PublishBuddy.

You can connect LinkedIn on any plan. Your profile and each company page count as one social account each. See [Which social accounts can I connect?](/help/connect-accounts)

LinkedIn gives you two choices:

* **Profile**: your personal LinkedIn profile. Posts go out as you.
* **Company Page**: a LinkedIn page for a business. Posts go out as the page.

Want both? Connect twice, once with each choice.

## What you need first

* **For a profile:** your LinkedIn login.
* **For a company page:** you need to be an admin of the page on LinkedIn, with full admin rights. LinkedIn calls this role Super admin. Someone who only posts for the page may not see it in PublishBuddy.

## Connect LinkedIn

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the networks">
    Click **Accounts** in the sidebar, then **Add Social Accounts**. Click the **LinkedIn** tile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Company Page or Profile">
    A window asks you to pick one. **Company Page** is picked for you. Select **Profile** instead if you want your personal profile. Click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in to LinkedIn">
    A LinkedIn window opens. Log in with your own LinkedIn account and allow access. Use your own login even for a company page. LinkedIn works out which pages you admin.

    If no window opens, your browser blocked the pop-up. See [The login window didn't open](/help/troubleshooting/popup-blocked).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the profile or page">
    Back in PublishBuddy, a window lists what you can add. Click **Connect** next to it. The button changes to **Connected**. Then click **Done**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you'll see

A message confirms it, like "1 LinkedIn page added". PublishBuddy takes you back to **Accounts**, where the profile or page now shows up under LinkedIn.

## If you admin more than one company page

Right now PublishBuddy only offers **one** company page each time you connect. It's the first page LinkedIn sends back for your login. You can't pick a different one from the list.

If the page you want isn't the one offered, see [Only one LinkedIn company page shows up](/help/troubleshooting/linkedin-one-page).

## If you don't admin any company page

Choose **Company Page** without admin rights on a page, and your personal profile shows up instead. Don't connect it by mistake if you wanted a page. Ask a Super admin of the page to give you that role on LinkedIn, then connect again.

## Common problems

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A missing data message after you log in">
    The message says "please ensure you enable all permissions and try again." It means what LinkedIn sent back is already connected in this workspace. Look for it on **Accounts**. If it isn't there, connect again and allow everything LinkedIn asks for.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The account needs to be reconnected">
    LinkedIn ends access to apps from time to time. [Reconnect the account](/help/connect/reconnect) with the same LinkedIn login. You won't be asked to pick Company Page or Profile again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A &#x22;Failed to connect&#x22; message right after you click Continue">
    This usually means your browser blocked the login window. Allow pop-ups for app.publishbuddy.com and try again. See [The login window didn't open](/help/troubleshooting/popup-blocked).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
