LinkedIn has today launched its Premium All in One subscription service, allowing SMBs access to hiring, sales, marketing and brand-building tools without increasing their workload.
The single platform provides smaller business customers with AI capabilities such as built-in guidance, centralized tools and personalized insights to save time on research.
LinkedIn’s offering has already delivered results for early adopters, with 57 percent of users reporting more followers after implementing the tool.
Judy Nam, VP of Marketing, Small Business at LinkedIn, argued that SMB owners are overwhelmed by the complexity of modern tools, with each function requiring separate tools, increasing operational effort.
“What we hear often from small business owners is that they want fewer decisions, not more tools,” Nam explained.
“They’re wearing many hats—juggling sales, marketing, and hiring on their own, and when those tools live in different places, it creates unnecessary friction.”
SMBs are Struggling with Tool Overload and Limited Resources
As SMBs operate with limited time, budget and headcount, fragmented growth tools can quickly increase operational burden.
Context switching for small teams can drastically reduce productivity levels and slow execution, affecting hiring, CRM, email outreach, analytics, and content scheduling.
And with customer data unconnected in multiple places, this can further cause gaps and duplications, creating incomplete performance visibility and limits informed decision making.
This is also made difficult by their limited number of resources to fix these issues, with business constraints typically time, money, and specialized talent, which has an impact on growth, operations and CX.
In regard to marketing, many SMBs lack dedicated marketers, recruiters, data analysts, or CX leaders, which means campaigns lack targeting precision, hiring processes remain inconsistent, customer journeys aren’t mapped out, and analytics are being ignored or underused.
This can lead to inconsistencies in CX, and brands could risk burnout from decision fatigue and reactive work cycles.
And whilst many SMBs recognise the value in branding and networking, capability gaps make consistent execution difficult.
As brand building requires consistent presence, some SMBs are forced to post sporadically or attend networking events irregularly, limiting their recognition in that particular industry or sector.
This can also include a lack of design resources or video production capabilities, reducing a business’s ability to reflect its true expertise and weakening its overall outreach.
LinkedIn’s Premium All in One Offering
Having responded to customer enterprise feedback, the Premium All in One is a consolidated subscription designed for SMBs to access sales, marketing, hiring, and branding tools into a single dashboard.
This ensures they can simplify growth activities and guide business owners on what to do next.
“Premium All-in-One brings everything together in one place and helps guide people on what to focus on next,” Nam continued.
“Instead of wasting time switching between multiple tools, subscribers get a single experience designed around how small businesses actually function.
“That simplicity makes it easier to stay focused, move faster, and focus on company growth.”
As of 2026, there are over 18 million smaller businesses using LinkedIn’s platform, operating not only for enterprise marketers and recruiters, but for a large segment of the global SMB economy.
By providing numerous capabilities in a single workflow, SMBs can begin to expand their customer base by increasing consistency and visibility while reducing their research load.
Reducing Workload and Increasing Networking
By offering SMBs an integration solution, this addresses structural risks that separate tools can create.
A unified platform ensures that prospecting, messaging, and engagement signals are in one place, improving visibility and continuity.
And less tool switching reduces administrative overhead and allows businesses to focus on revenue-generating activities.
By unifying sales, marketing, and other knowledge-heavy capabilities into the platform, SMBs can reduce research time on how these teams operate and avoid the need to become proficient in those areas.
“Most small business owners don’t have the time or resources to become experts in sales or marketing technology, and they shouldn’t have to,” Nam argued.
“From the start, we designed Premium All-in-One to feel intuitive and supportive, even for someone doing everything themselves.”
AI and automation help small businesses reduce manual research and content creation, relieving founders from multiple role-management burdens.
This enables SMBs to establish clear priorities, utilizing the tool’s guided prompts and recommendations to decide what to focus on next, reducing decision fatigue and supporting consistent execution.
This also includes personalized lead suggestions and advanced search tools to shorten research time when identifying relevant customers.
By also enabling branding capabilities, the tool utilizes post boosting, profile optimization, and spotlight features to increase exposure within relevant professional audiences, allowing SMBs to present themselves with greater authority and professional visibility.
LinkedIn’s platform allows small businesses to operate with more structure and efficiency inside a platform where their customers, partners, and potential hires already spend time.
Early customer results have already reported increased brand presence, networking, and numerous hours saved each week through automated capabilities.
