A big question mark for us was for long whether LinkedIn will still support competitive benchmarking by allowing access to basic metrics around followers and posts of **any** Company Page, not just for those a user administers. Now, with the changes being effective since a few days, we can confirm LinkedIn has officially dropped support for competitive benchmarking except for tracking of public follower counts. In the meantime, our team has been implementing LinkedIn private statistics access as a direct replacement to help you tracking your owned LinkedIn Company Pages. To read the full story and how this affects you as a customer tracking LinkedIn Company Pages, please [click here](https://support.quintly.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010086719). For customers tracking LinkedIn Company Pages, we are looking forward to discuss the options for your specific case.
