01 — Marketing · Paid advertising

LinkedIn lets you target by job title, seniority, function, company and industry, which makes it the most precise paid channel for most B2B audiences. It is also expensive per click, so campaigns need a clear offer, tight targeting and lead qualification that reaches your sales team quickly.

What this solves

The problems LinkedIn Ads solves.

B2B targeting by role, company and industry, with lead forms and account-based campaigns.

  1. 01

    Clicks are expensive and leads rarely become opportunities.

  2. 02

    Targeting is either too broad to matter or too narrow to deliver.

  3. 03

    Lead form submissions sit in LinkedIn instead of reaching sales.

  4. 04

    Ads promote demos to people who have never heard of you.

Capabilities

What LinkedIn Ads covers.

Key concepts

Making LinkedIn worth its cost per click.

LinkedIn clicks are expensive, so the work goes into reaching exactly the right accounts and making every click count.

Account-based targeting
Uploading target account and contact lists, or using company size, industry and seniority filters, instead of broad job-title guesses.
Lead gen forms
Pre-filled forms inside LinkedIn usually convert far better than sending people to a landing page on mobile.
Thought-leader ads
Promoting posts from your own experts, which often earn more trust than brand-page ads.
Offer
A useful guide, benchmark or demo slot that matches the buyer's stage, not a generic "contact us".
CRM follow-up
Leads synced to the CRM immediately, with a follow-up sequence agreed with sales before launch.

FAQ

LinkedIn Ads questions.

Why is LinkedIn advertising so expensive?

Because the targeting is unusually precise and the audiences are senior. The question is cost per qualified opportunity, not cost per click; we judge campaigns on that.

What offers work best on LinkedIn?

It depends on how well your audience knows you. Useful content and events usually work better than demo requests for cold audiences; direct offers suit warmer or account-based audiences.

Can LinkedIn leads go straight into our CRM?

Yes. Lead gen forms can sync with HubSpot, Salesforce and other CRMs directly or through an integration tool.
