💁What is a service page?


You must be thinking about what a service page is and how to set it up? The service page in LinkedIn is similar to what we know as 'GIG' in the fiver world. On the service page, you should mention what service you will provide, how a client should reach you and where you have located things like that.



⛏How to set up?


So as we have learnt what a service page is now, let's start setting up one. 


To set up a service page in Linkedin as of today, you need to send a request to the below Linkedin group -

https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8871270/


Don't worry about this group; it is primarily owned and managed by LinkedIn employees. So once you send a request to this group, it takes around 24 hours to get the approval. 


Once your request is approved, you will see an "Open to" button below your profile picture and next to the "Add section " button. 


This "Open to " button will help you to create your service page. 



The next step is straightforward. You click on "Open to", you will see two options - "showcase services you offer.." and "hiring." 







You should next click on "showcase services you offer.." and wolah !



you land on a page that will ask you to select the services you provide, where you have located, and how to connect. 



That's it, next; you publish it. Congratulations💥💫, you have successfully created a LinkedIn service page.
