What is LinkedIn Advertising?

LinkedIn Ads is B2B advertising on LinkedIn: Sponsored Content, Message Ads, Lead Gen Forms, text ads. Target by job title, company size, industry, seniority — the most precise professional targeting in social.

Arbitrage / lead gen

B2B SaaS, finance (business loans), education, recruiting offers. High CPC ($5–15+); needs strong LTV or high-ticket CPL. Lead Gen Forms cut friction — data to cabinet, sync to CRM/tracker.

Limits

Few consumer verticals (dating, gambling rarely pass). Strict ad review. Minimum audience size caps hyper-narrow tests.

Metrics

CPL, lead approval rate, pipeline ROI — not click CR alone. UTM + offline conversion import.
