❓ FAQ

▶What's the difference between LinkedIn organic and paid?
Organic: posting content, followers see it (free, low reach). Paid: ads appear in feed/sidebar, targeted by job title/company (costs money, more reach). Organic = awareness, paid = conversion.
▶How much should I budget for LinkedIn Ads?
Start small ($500-1000/month). Test 3-5 campaigns. Measure ROAS. Scale winners. LinkedIn CPC: $5-10 (depends on targeting, industry). Convert: if ROAS > 3x, scale.
▶What audience should I target?
Ideal customer profile (ICP). By job title (VP Sales, CEO), industry (SaaS, Finance), company size, seniority. Narrow = higher relevance = higher conversion. Start narrow, expand if successful.
▶What's a lead form ad?
LinkedIn form auto-populates with user profile data (no manual typing). Higher conversion vs. external forms. Leads delivered to CRM automatically. Best for lead gen.
▶How do I measure LinkedIn Ads ROI?
Track: leads generated, lead quality (conversion to MQL/SQL), pipeline created, deals closed. Attribute revenue to campaign. True ROAS = (revenue from conversions) / (ad spend).
