How to Embed LinkedIn Feed on Any Website (+Examples)
You can easily add a LinkedIn Company Page feed to any website or a digital screen.
When you’re a LinkedIn Page admin, you own the content published on the page. You’re free to save it and republish it the way you like. Flockler lets you save LinkedIn Page content and embed it on a website as easily as possible.
In addition, you can manually curate public LinkedIn posts and save them to your Flockler account. A LinkedIn feed widget allows you to embed LinkedIn posts on your website and display them with feeds from other social media channels. See the list of supported social media channels.
What does embedding LinkedIn posts mean?
Embedding LinkedIn posts displays your company page’s posts on a website or other digital service. It allows you to engage viewers with LinkedIn's latest news and updates.
You can show LinkedIn posts with unlimited Social Walls, Grids, Carousels, and Slideshows.
How to embed LinkedIn feed on a website
Here's a three-step guide on how to embed LinkedIn feeds on any website:

Collect LinkedIn posts and company updates
-
Select a Wall, Grid, Carousel, or Slideshow layout for your LinkedIn feed
-
Add your LinkedIn feed to any website and digital service

Let's understand each step in detail.
Remember: LinkedIn doesn't allow third parties to automatically gather and display social feeds, such as LinkedIn posts that mention a hashtag.
1. Collect LinkedIn posts and company updates
If you don't manage any LinkedIn Pages or want to show individual posts and hashtag mentions from others, please follow the instructions in the next section.
However, most Flockler users want to show LinkedIn posts from their company page, and here's how you can do it automatically.
After logging in, click the "Add a new automated feed" button on the "Feeds" tab and choose LinkedIn.
Next, log in with your LinkedIn account.
Then, choose one of the pages you manage.
Some companies target their posts to specific countries and geographical areas. For example, your team might create content for English-speaking countries from the global headquarters and then have regional offices creating content in other languages.
If your team uses location filtering, click "Choose locations". Most companies choose "Show all posts".
With Flockler, you can save your LinkedIn Page posts for approval or display them automatically. If you display posts without authorization, you can hide any content later.
Please note that you can only save posts originally created on your page. Therefore, shared posts won't be available via automation, but you can add most LinkedIn posts manually.
2. Select a Wall, Grid, Carousel, or Slideshow layout
After gathering LinkedIn posts for your Flockler, click the "Display" tab to select a Wall, Grid, Carousel, or Slideshow layout. You can also embed Flockler in an email.
Create unlimited layouts and customize their look & feel to match your branding.
3. Add your LinkedIn feed to any website and digital service
The final step is to embed your social media feed and LinkedIn company updates on your website.
After selecting the layout, Flockler gives you an embed code, which you can add to any website or digital service. Our Help pages contain tutorials on adding LinkedIn feeds to WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and many more.
Here's an example of a LinkedIn feed for websites from Da Vinci Engineering. On their homepage and news page, the social wall combines updates from LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and more.

How to show any public LinkedIn post on a website
Sometimes, you might want to add content posted by your employees and partners. Although LinkedIn doesn't allow the creation of social feeds and automatically gathers posts from third parties (for example, hashtag feeds), you can show posts from others and hashtag mentions on your website.

The first step is to find the LinkedIn post you'd like to add to your website and other social media feeds. On LinkedIn, click the three dots in the top right corner and then copy the post's link. You can add public posts from your company and any user.
Next, navigate to the Content tab and click the LinkedIn button on the left.
Then, add the LinkedIn post link to Flockler and hit the "Search" button. The post will appear below; click "Publish" to add it to your social media feed on a website.
Finally, follow the steps above to create a layout and embed a LinkedIn feed on your websites and other digital services.
Why do companies embed LinkedIn feeds on websites?
There are handful of reasons why companies seek to show their latest LinkedIn posts on various digital platforms:
-
Increase visibility. A live-updating LinkedIn feed on a website can give your company posts more visibility and reach.
-
Improve engagement. Encourage website visitors and employees to engage with your content (comments, likes, and shares). The math is simple: the higher the engagement, the higher the reach, and the higher the sales.
-
Show thought leadership. Most companies use LinkedIn to establish themselves as thought leaders in their industry.
-
Generate leads. The more visibility your company's content has, the more leads it generates. Show your valuable content on your website to increase leads and, eventually, sales.
-
Showcase company culture and employee engagement. A social media wall with updates from LinkedIn and other social media channels tells a story about the company culture and helps with recruitment and talent retention.
Embedding LinkedIn feeds on websites with Flockler
Manually inserting individual LinkedIn posts on a website is time-consuming and unnecessarily laborious. Flockler brings you the convenience of auto-updating live social media feeds on your website. Below are some advantages you get when you choose the Flockler route.
Unlimited layouts
Layouts are different ways to show feeds. They’re super easy to design and customize to fit your page. Consider showing LinkedIn posts in a Grid layout on your culture page, just like blogs. This will help you recruit top talent and show the lives of your employees.
To engage talent further, you can have an appealing carousel showing selected posts under job application pages. With Flockler, you can easily show your LinkedIn company page’s post in a Grid, Slideshow, or Carousel layout.
Reduced dependency on developers
Developers are often overwhelmed by various tasks. Repeated requests to change posts or add different posts on pages remove their focus. Eventually, you might need to wait a long time to make things happen.
Flockler helps you self-serve. You can easily customize posts and layouts and display them where you plan without depending on developers. It saves you time and money, as developers can concentrate on more critical issues.
Due to this, many agencies prefer using Flockler to display social media feeds on their client website.
Moderation and curation
If you want to, you can choose to moderate posts before publishing in an easy flow. You can curate content quite easily with a drag-and-drop feature for customizing feeds.
Flockler also lets you hide individual posts inside the feed if you notice something after it gets published.
