LinkedIn Verification: what is it and should B2B marketers care?
As both Voltaire and Spider Man’s Uncle Ben have said, with great power comes great responsibility.
And this is true for social networks as well as superheroes.
That is why LinkedIn, as the world’s largest professional networking platform, offers Page Verification, a feature designed to authenticate the legitimacy of a company or institution—and therefore build trust with its users.
Why LinkedIn Page Verification Matters
Getting your LinkedIn Page verified signals to users that your business is legitimate, reducing the risk of impersonation and fraud.
A verified page:
✅ Enhances credibility – Users and potential clients trust a verified business
✅ Prevents impersonation – Reduces the risk of fake accounts misrepresenting your brand
✅ Boosts engagement – People are more likely to follow and interact with verified pages
How to Get Your LinkedIn Page Verified
Verification isn’t available for all Company Pages just yet. To find out if you’re one of the chosen ones, head over to your Company Page, click Settings on the bottom left controls and look out for Verification Controls.

If you can see Verification Controls, go ahead and click through to start the process of requesting verification.
LinkedIn tells us they are expanding verification all the time, but it might take weeks before your request is approved.

Once approved, there is a second step which requires adding a TXT record to your domain. This is almost certainly best done by your internal IT team or whoever is responsible for your website.
How to get that LinkedIn Verification Badge
Once your page is verified, you can add verified domains to your page which in turn enables domain verification for members.
This feature allows employees to verify their association with your company by confirming that they have an email address with the approved domain.
The verification will be displayed on their LinkedIn profile in the About section of their Profile.
Note that LinkedIn will take it upon themselves to suggest domains to verify and will auto-verify them within 14 days of notification.
Is LinkedIn Verification Worth It?
Absolutely yes, especially if you want to proactively signal trustworthiness in your market, your company name is the same as another, similar company, or if you have experienced any type of fraudulent activity associated with your company name.
We struggled to find any stats on page verification, possibly because it’s still early doors (though do let us know if you find any!).
However, according to LinkedIn, verified profiles get 60% more profile views, 50% more comments and reactions on their posts, and 30% more messages—so we can only assume verification will have a similar impact on company pages.
