How to view company followers on LinkedIn

UPDATE September 2020: This feature has now been reinstated by Linkedin which is great news! All you need to do is navigate to your Company Page > Analytics > Followers:

how to view your LinkedIn company page followers

Thank you for your support in getting this feature reinstated!

The below was a temporary workaround until LinkedIn blocked that too:

LinkedIn analysed how many people were viewing the followers of their company pages and decided that it wasn’t worth continuing with. You what? Heck it wasn’t! Anyway, after some hacking around we found that we could still use the old interface if we did some wizardry with the url. Here are the steps:

A sample of the url in question:
https://www.linkedin.com/company/18106083/followers?page_num=1&trk=extra_biz_followers

1. First, you need to find the company ID by navigating to the company you want to see the followers of on LinkedIn

2. Once you have navigated to the company page, look for company id in the url. This is a numeric string like this: 18106083

3. Then you need to copy the above link and change this id (18106083) with the id of the company you want to see the followers of

4. Paste the entire link into your browser and hit enter

5. Voila!

If you would like to know how you can get the most out of LinkedIn, please drop us a line and we can discuss how we can help you win business.

Unfortunately, this method no longer works as LinkedIn have blocked it. I am currently campaigning on LinkedIn to get this feature added back. Please support the cause by commenting on the post below:

We have a result! Keep commenting and liking to help the campaign.

Thanks for your support!

    Hi! I just tried this but it didn’t work. Do you have another workaround?
    Thank you!

      Hi Sara,

      Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately LinkedIn have blocked this now and we don’t know of any other workaround at the moment. I am campaigning on LinkedIn to get the feature returned. If you could support here https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6398052957069410304 that would be awesome!

      Thanks

          Hi, Colin

          We have kept on at LinkedIn continually and they do say the team are working on it but we don’t have any dates as yet. Thanks for your support, greatly appreciated!

      Hi Mat,

      We’re told by LinkedIn that it should be reinstated early 2019!

        Hi Stuart,

        I have been following this closely, but I can still not see the followers of my company page and I think we passed early 2019…
        Do you know anything more?

          Hi Marianne,

          I have chased this many times with LinkedIn but they are pretty vague about re adding the feature. Last time I chased they said their team was working on a solution but had not dates for release.

            Doesn’t seem like LinkedIn is really “working on it.” If it’s a feature they already had in the past, wouldn’t they just need to turn it back on?

            Hi Lisa,

            They told us it was part of a major update to company pages so I guess that’s why it’s taking so long.

    In most companies, projects or updates will have an anticipated ‘go-live date’. It appears in this case that LI are just stringing many users along. Like people have said on here and elsewhere, if this feature existed previously, then why is it taking so long? And why not just release this now instead of infuriating so many in the meantime?
