Where to start
Read for the situation you're in, not front to back:
- Your company page gets nothing and you do not know why. Start one step before the vocabulary, with why your LinkedIn company page gets no reach, which explains the distribution mechanism behind a flat page, shows what published benchmarks say a page your size actually does, and routes you by job into the rest of this library.
- The term itself is new to you. Start with what employee advocacy actually means, which defines it, separates the two operating models most definitions run together, and points at whichever guide below fits what you need next. For the surrounding vocabulary, from activation rate to disclosure, the employee advocacy glossary defines it in one place.
- You need to justify the budget. Start with Employee Advocacy ROI, then price your own team with the earned media value calculator and check the market rate in the software-cost guide. If the term itself is new, start one step earlier with what earned media value actually means.
- Your program has stalled. Start with why employee advocacy programs fail to work out whether the program or the people stopped, then read How to Get Employees to Post on LinkedIn and hand your team the post-ideas library and the blank-page fix.
- Compliance is the blocker. Start from a LinkedIn social media policy template, hand your team the do's and don'ts that go with it, then see how Compliance Guardrails enforce your brand rules as each post is drafted. If the blocker is your industry rather than your process, start instead with advocacy in regulated industries.

Employee advocacy guides: FAQ
How do you measure employee advocacy ROI?
Convert your team's monthly LinkedIn impressions into earned media value: impressions ÷ 1.000 × a realistic B2B CPM, then compare that annual figure against the cost of the program. Treat earned media value as a cost equivalence, not booked revenue, and read it beside your real pipeline and hiring numbers. Our employee advocacy ROI guide works a five-person example end to end.
Where should I start if we have never run employee advocacy?
Start with the activation playbook, because nothing else matters until people are actually posting. Read the ROI guide next so you can justify the time to whoever signs off on it, and pick up the policy template once more than a couple of people are active. If three or more people will post and you want more than saved hours, start with software built for small teams, as long as you can cancel it monthly.
Do I need a tool to run employee advocacy?
Not for two people who already post, and three can get by at a push. From three on, it depends on what you want from the program. A spreadsheet will do for about five people if saved time is all you want. If you want a steady supply of ideas, strong posts in each person's voice, a number for leadership and a team that keeps going, use software from the start. Authira is € 299 per month with 5 seats included and can be cancelled monthly, but these guides work either way.
Who are these employee advocacy guides for?
Marketing, sales, and HR leads, and founders, at self-managed B2B teams of 3 to 30 running LinkedIn employee advocacy in-house. If you need to reach thousands of frontline employees, or want an intranet and internal comms bundled in, an enterprise employee-experience suite fits better. These guides assume a small team doing it themselves.
