LinkedIn remains an important platform for cybersecurity businesses because many of the people influencing technology and security decisions are already there. Used well, it can help cybersecurity professionals demonstrate expertise, build relevant relationships and create opportunities with the businesses they want to reach.
Creating Compelling Professional Profiles
Set up a profile page for you! If you don’t already have a LinkedIn page for your own profile, we urge you to set one up right away. Get it ready for others to view what you do and complete it as much as possible with information on your past and present experiences, and don’t forget add what you’re looking for. Many miss the opportunity to tell others about what they offer, and this is a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals.
Your personal profile can also support your business presence. Linking your role to your company page helps people move between you and the business, while giving you another opportunity to explain your expertise, experience and the problems you help customers solve.
The first step when building up a strong LinkedIn marketing strategy for cybersecurity professionals is to create a great business page. You can use this to post blogs and educational content. Business pages can have multiple users, so your whole team can engage and post on it. By Linking your personal profile with your business profile, this will also increase the credibility of your business as viewers will see it linked with you, an established cybersecurity professional.
Expanding your Network
LinkedIn gives cybersecurity professionals an opportunity to build relationships with potential customers, partners and others within the sector. Rather than focusing on connecting with large numbers of people, concentrate on building a relevant network. Engage with their content, contribute to conversations and use direct messages where there is a genuine reason to start a conversation.
The key to getting noticed on LinkedIn is creating valuable content that sparks engagement. The power of a simple hook or high-quality visuals cannot be overstated here. By posting content that professionals and target audiences will be interested in, you’ll be establishing your cybersecurity businesses as a credible source of information.
LinkedIn groups can be a useful way to connect with people in your sector and join relevant conversations. Think about where your potential buyers, such as CISOs or CEOs, are likely to spend their time. Follow the group’s guidelines, contribute to discussions and share content that is genuinely relevant. LinkedIn can also support face to face networking by helping you make connections online that develop into conversations offline.
Delivering Value through Content
Content gives cybersecurity professionals an opportunity to demonstrate what they know before a potential customer ever speaks to them. Share useful perspectives on security issues, answer common customer questions, comment on industry developments and use case studies or examples to show how you solve problems. LinkedIn advertising can also be used when you want to reach specific professional audiences, but it should support rather than replace useful organic content. For cybersecurity businesses in particular, credibility matters. Buyers need to understand not only what you offer, but why they should trust your expertise with an important part of their organisation.
Turning LinkedIn Visibility into Opportunities
Visibility alone isn’t the goal. Your LinkedIn activity should help the right people understand what your cybersecurity business does, why your expertise matters and what they should do next. That means connecting your LinkedIn activity with your website, content and wider marketing strategy so interest has somewhere useful to go.
If your cybersecurity business has strong expertise but isn’t getting enough visibility from the right people, get in touch with New Media Ghost to discuss how your wider marketing strategy can help you get found, understood and considered.
