    Community Answer
    Ensure that your company page visibility settings are set to "Public" rather than "Admins Only." This can be adjusted in the settings section of your company page. You must be the owner or administrator of the company page. Otherwise, reach out to the appropriate person who manages the page and request access or assistance.
