If you have a company and showcase pages for the different brands that you have, you might find it weird that you would have to create a LinkedIn product page.
But here's the thing.
There's a reason why LinkedIn offers new features like this.
A LinkedIn product page allows you to showcase a product to your prospects in its entirety.
Think of it as a separate page where you can house reviews, media and even showcase featured customers. It acts like a landing page for your product on the platform. You can add a CTA from the product page that takes the prospect directly to your product's page.
Product pages are essential if you want to isolate your product from your company or brand and provide your potential customers with a focused experience on the product.
These pages almost make your product easily searchable as LinkedIn now includes products as part of its filter.
To add to this, product pages also allow for your products to appear next to your competitors. Look at Hubspot CRM for instance, a quick visit to their product page shows their competitors on the righthand side.

Hop onto your LinkedIn company page as a Super admin.
Click on the tab marked "Products", you'' find it towards the top.
There should be a button where you can add a product.
Now, here's the tricky part, your organization, and your product could have different names, so you want to select whether: "Yes, my product and organization have the same name" or "No, my product has a different name". Remember, the default is for you to create a flagship product, so you want to highlight your main product. If you do need to change the name of your product in the future, there is no easy way of doing it and you will have to reach out to support.
Now here comes the fun part, customizing your product page.
