How to use LinkedIn Ads (B2B)

So, you’ve mastered Google and Facebook Ads, and now you’re eyeing LinkedIn for your B2B business. But hold your horses! LinkedIn ads are a different ball game altogether.

If done right, LinkedIn advertising could be your golden ticket to expanding your brand’s reach and boosting your sales. So, what’s the deal with LinkedIn advertising?

LinkedIn is the place to be for many B2B businesses looking to: generate leads, build brand awareness and drive traffic to your site. So, if that’s what you’re aiming for, you’re in the right place!

So, here’s some of the dos when it comes to LinkedIn Ads:

  1. Nail down your audience targeting. Whether it’s by location, industry, job title, or experience, ensure you’re hitting the right people.
  2. Make sure your ad copy and landing page speak to your audience’s pain points. Consistency is key!
  3. Keep an eye on who your ads are reaching to exclude irrelevant audiences and optimise targeting.
  4. Regularly check how your ad creative is performing and make adjustments as needed.
  5. Don’t be afraid to experiment with various ad formats to see what resonates best with your audience.

Forget what you know about Facebook and Google Ads - LinkedIn is a whole different ball game. It's easy to think, "I'll just do what works elsewhere," but that's a recipe for disaster. Here are some of our LinkedIn Ads don'ts you need to know:

  1. LinkedIn is its own beast; what works elsewhere may not work here.
  2. LinkedIn is often top-of-the-funnel, so conversions may take time.
  3. Strike a balance in your audience targeting to avoid wasted ad spend.
  4. Target cold audiences with warm messaging: Build relationships gradually with cold audiences; don’t jump straight to the hard sell.
  5. LinkedIn ads can be pricey, but cutting corners won’t necessarily save you money in the long run.
