If your LinkedIn Company Page is more than just a brochure and you use it to actually grow your network, as you should, then this latest update from LinkedIn should bring a smile to your face, or even elicit a little dance, for those among us who are reeeally into social analytics.

These new Company Page analytics are a vast improvement over LinkedIn’s previous “Page Insights” and “Follower Insights”. According to LinkedIn, the new analytics will help you:

– Identify the updates that drive the greatest engagement

– Filter engagement trends by type and time period

– Get more detailed demographic data about your followers

– See the growth of your follower base and benchmark it against similar brands
