LinkedIn groups can be listed or unlisted. Here’s the difference:
Listed: A listed group comes up in LinkedIn search results if someone queries its industry or topic. Listed groups also show up in member profiles. This type of group is useful for networking and finding others who share your interests. If you’re starting a group and want to grow your network, this is generally the way to go.
Unlisted: Unlisted groups can only be accessed via direct link or invitation. They don’t show up in member profiles and don’t come up in search results. This type of group is useful when you want to keep communication within a single group, such as only employees of a company or members of an organization.
