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.
