About LinkedIn Ads

The paid channel B2B cannot afford to measure loosely.

LinkedIn Ads is the paid side of LinkedIn, reaching over a billion professionals through Sponsored Content, Message Ads, Dynamic Ads, Text Ads and Lead Gen Forms. The audience attributes that make it work for B2B, from job title to company and industry, are the same attributes that make the CPC three to ten times what Google charges.

The point of pulling LinkedIn Ads into a warehouse is that the cost per click is unforgiving. Measured on cost-per-MQL the campaigns tend to look passable. Measured on cost-per-closed-deal, the picture is usually very different. Next to CRM and accounting data, LinkedIn Ads spend lines up against the opportunities it produced, the contracts those opportunities signed and the invoices those contracts paid.

What your LinkedIn Ads data is for

What you get once LinkedIn Ads is connected.

Closed-revenue ad reporting

Spend matched to pipeline and invoiced revenue, per campaign and target audience.

  • Cost per closed-won deal by campaign and audience
  • ABM-account engagement through LinkedIn content
  • Blended B2B spend picture across LinkedIn and Google

B2B spend automation

Let the stack react to what LinkedIn attention produced downstream.

  • Lead Gen Form submits push into HubSpot as qualified leads
  • Matched-audience lists stay in sync with Salesforce account tiers
  • Closed-won pushed back as offline conversions for bidding

AI workflows

Use campaign history to score ABM fit and creative performance.

  • ABM-fit scoring per target account against spend
  • Creative-fatigue detection per vertical and persona
  • Audience-quality scoring beyond LinkedIn's own reach

Custom apps on your data

Internal tools on LinkedIn spend for the people who sign off on it.

  • CFO-facing cost per closed-deal per campaign
  • ABM workbench with engagement by target account
  • Agency brief with revenue context per creative variant

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Which LinkedIn campaigns closed deals, not just generated MQLs?

Spend per campaign matched to closed-won Salesforce or HubSpot opportunities over twelve months. Separates the campaign whose leads signed contracts from the campaign whose leads only filled forms.

Are our target accounts engaging with our ads at all?

Target-account list matched against LinkedIn reach, frequency and engagement, with CRM outcome on the same line. Surfaces the ABM accounts that are receiving the impressions the plan promised and the ones that are not.

What does a LinkedIn-sourced customer cost us, and how long to payback?

Blended CAC from LinkedIn Ads spend against LTV from Stripe, NetSuite or Salesforce over the first twelve to twenty-four months. The payback curve per campaign becomes visible, not the per-lead cost that most agency reports stop at.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

LinkedIn spend next to closed-won revenue and payback period, per campaign. Marketing-budget conversations move from cost-per-MQL to cost-per-signed-contract, which is the number the CFO can defend.

For sales leaders

First-touch LinkedIn campaign on every CRM lead, with job title and company on the record. Sales stops asking where a lead came from and starts prioritising on fit and campaign outcome.

For operations

ABM target-account coverage, audience match rate and campaign pacing on one board. ABM execution stops leaning on agency screenshots and starts running against the CRM's own account list.

Ideas

What you can automate with LinkedIn Ads.

Pair with HubSpot

Tie LinkedIn Ads to HubSpot closed-won

LinkedIn campaign, ad creative and Lead Gen Form data carry through to the HubSpot contact and deal. Marketing reports on closed-won revenue per campaign rather than on form fills, and finance has the full LinkedIn-to-cleared-revenue chain.

Pair with Salesforce

Match LinkedIn matched-audiences to Salesforce accounts

Target accounts and tiers from Salesforce push to LinkedIn as matched audiences. Engagement comes back per account, so ABM reporting lives on the Salesforce account timeline instead of in an agency's monthly deck.

Pair with Pipedrive

Bring LinkedIn source into Pipedrive deals

Pipedrive deals carry the LinkedIn campaign, ad group and creative that brought the contact in, with cost tied back. Deal-source reports stop relying on rep-entered UTMs that were wrong half the time anyway.

Pair with Google Analytics GA4

Blend LinkedIn Ads with GA4 across the funnel

LinkedIn click and campaign data joins GA4 session and event data in the warehouse to produce a multi-touch attribution picture. LinkedIn's role in longer B2B journeys becomes visible instead of being understated by last-click models.

Three steps

From LinkedIn Ads to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • LinkedIn Ads connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Can CRM outcomes push back to LinkedIn as offline conversions?

Yes. Closed-won and pipeline-stage events from Salesforce, HubSpot or Pipedrive push back as offline conversions, keyed on the original LinkedIn click. Bidding optimises against signed contracts, not against form submissions, which usually rebalances spend within a few weeks.

Does the sync cover multiple LinkedIn ad accounts?

Yes. Each ad account lands in its own schema with the account hierarchy preserved. Holding companies and agencies get per-brand and per-client isolation and a group-level view on top, without merging spend reports by hand.
