Import Linkedin Company Pages to Google Sheets

LinkedIn is a major channel in the advertising industry. Companies want to know their company’s social media presence and organic brand reach. LinkedIn allows companies to gain insights into their brand performance and organic reach.

Whether it’s company page posts or organic followers, reporting is super important. But these types of reporting can be a nightmare. With the right tools, you can manage data from LinkedIn to Google Sheets. It eliminates to manually transfer and update data in both systems. This makes it easier to track and measure every post that goes out.

Why Pay for Automation at All?

Automations solve huge problems in organizations. So, most automation tools are paid products. Yes, you can do everything manually for free to save money. But in perspective, you might want to spend a little to save time. The number of hours that you take back to avoid hellish and repetitive work is worth the price.

I hate a super cluttered desktop. You ever experienced a desktop full of spreadsheet files? I hate them. It increases stress and productivity comes to an all-time low. The amount of time I clicked the Export CSV button is unbearable. Automation avoids all of this and is useful when you’re tracking marketing campaigns.
