Setting Up Your LinkedIn Ads Account

Starting with LinkedIn Ads is straightforward and quick. Here's how to do it:

  • Head over to ads.linkedin.com and click on Get Started.
  • You'll need to pick if you're setting this up for a company page or your own profile.
  • Fill in some basic info about yourself or your company. This includes things like:
  • Your company name
  • Your website
  • How to contact you
  • Make sure to read and agree to LinkedIn's advertising rules. This step is crucial to make sure you're on the same page with LinkedIn.
  • Add a way to pay, like a credit card. You'll only be charged when your ads are actually shown to people.
  • Confirm who you are with details like:
  • Your phone number
  • Your business address

This step helps keep things secure.

Once your account is all set, you can dive into making ads. LinkedIn will guide you through choosing what you want your ads to achieve, who should see them, how much you want to spend, and when your ads should run. You'll also get to create your ads, picking images and writing text that grabs attention.

The LinkedIn Ads dashboard is where you'll see how well your ads are doing. You can check out different metrics here to understand what's working and what's not. This way, you can tweak your ads for better results without needing to be a tech expert.

If you're new to this, don't worry. LinkedIn has lots of help and tips to get you going. Setting up your account is just the beginning of reaching out to the right professionals with your ads.

Navigating the Dashboard

Reporting Dashboard

The Reporting Dashboard in LinkedIn Ads lets you see how your ads are doing in a way that's easy to understand. You can change what you see to fit what you're interested in. Here's how:

Filters

Filters let you look at specific ads, time periods, or types of ads. For instance, you can check out:

  • How your ads did last week or last month
  • Performance of certain ads or groups of ads
  • Different ad types (like text, pictures, or videos)
  • How ads did on different devices (like computers, tablets, or phones)

Breakdowns

Breakdowns show you more details by splitting your data. You can see things like:

  • Age groups
  • Male or female
  • Where people live
  • What kind of job they have

This helps you see who likes your ads the most.

Charts and Tables

You can add charts and tables to show important info like:

  • How many people saw your ads
  • How many clicked on them
  • How often people clicked
  • How much each click cost
  • How many people did what you wanted them to do after clicking

Export Reports

You can save your reports as CSV or PDF files to look at later or to show to other people in your team.

Charts and Demographics

The dashboard has pictures and charts that make it easy to see how your ads are doing.

Performance Charts

These charts let you see how things like clicks and costs change over time. This way, you can quickly see what's working and what's not.

Demographics

These charts show you how different groups of people (like different ages or jobs) are reacting to your ads. This helps you figure out who to target more.

Export Reports

You can save different types of reports:

  • Campaign reports: These give you a big picture of how your whole ad campaign is doing.
  • Creative reports: These show how each ad is doing so you can see which ones people like the most.
  • Audience reports: These tell you how different groups of people are responding to your ads, so you can target better.

Saving your reports as CSV or PDF files means you can:

  • Share what you've found with your team
  • Use other programs like Excel to look at your data more closely
  • Keep records to see how things change over time

With the LinkedIn Ads dashboard, even if you're not a tech expert, you can still get a lot out of your ad campaigns by looking at the data and making smart changes.

Understanding Key Metrics and KPIs

Keeping an eye on certain numbers and indicators is key to making your LinkedIn ads work better. Our LinkedIn Ads dashboard makes this easy, even if you're not a tech person.

Here are the main things you should watch:

Impressions

Impressions are about how often your ads show up for people on LinkedIn. Watching this helps you understand if your ad is getting out there.

Clicks

Clicks mean someone saw your ad and was interested enough to click on it. Keeping track of clicks tells you if your ad is catching people's attention.

Click-through Rate (CTR)

CTR is a fancy way of saying what percentage of the time people see your ad and then click on it. A high CTR means your ad is interesting to your audience.

Cost Per Click (CPC)

CPC is how much you pay each time someone clicks your ad. Knowing this helps you manage your budget better.

Conversions

Conversions happen when someone does what you hoped they would after seeing your ad, like buying something. Tracking conversions shows if your ad is really working.

Conversion Rate

Conversion rate tells you out of all the times your ad was shown, how often it led to a conversion. This helps you see how effective your ad is at achieving its goal.

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)

ROAS is about how much money you make from your ads compared to how much you spent on them. It's a good way to see if your ads are worth the cost.

Our dashboard lets you easily add charts to see how these numbers change over time. You can also look at your data based on different types of people to understand who your ads are hitting the mark with.

By keeping an eye on these metrics and setting up reports to come to you automatically, you can spot and fix problems quickly. This way, you can adjust your targeting, what your ad says, its design, and how much you're willing to pay to get better results.

Our dashboard gives you all the tools you need to make your LinkedIn ads better without needing to know all the tech stuff. It's designed to make using data to improve your business straightforward.

Creating Your First Ad Campaign

Starting your first ad on LinkedIn is pretty straightforward. Here's a simple guide to help you get started:

1. Choose Your Objective

First off, decide what you want your ad to do. You might want to:

  • Drive more people to your website
  • Collect contact info from interested folks
  • Spread the word about your business page
  • Find new employees

Pick the goal that matches what you're trying to achieve.

2. Define Your Target Audience

Now, tell LinkedIn who should see your ads. You can choose based on:

  • Job titles or industries
  • The companies they work for
  • Their interests or groups they're in
  • Where they live
  • Their age or gender

This makes sure your ads show up for people who are likely to be interested.

3. Set Your Budget and Bid

Decide how much you want to spend and the most you're willing to pay for a click.

A good tip is to start with a small budget to test the waters, then increase it if things go well.

4. Choose Ad Format

Pick the type of ad you want to use. You can choose from simple text ads to more eye-catching options like images, videos, or carousels.

5. Create Ad Content

Write a catchy headline and a clear description. Choose a good image or make a new one. Here are some tips:

  • Talk about how you can solve problems, not just what you offer
  • Keep it simple
  • Focus on the benefits
  • Use visuals that stand out
  • Make sure important info is easy to spot

Our dashboard can even help create images and text for you.

6. Set Up Tracking

Use tools like Google Analytics to see what people do after they click on your ad. This helps you understand how well your ad is working.

7. Launch and Monitor Your Campaign

Start your ad and keep an eye on how it's doing. Look at things like how many people see your ad, how many click on it, and what actions they take afterward.

Change your targeting, how much you're willing to pay, or your ad itself to get better results. Our dashboard makes it easy to keep improving your ad.

Just follow these steps, and you'll be able to make and run your own LinkedIn ads without needing to be an expert. Start small, watch how your ads are doing, tweak as needed, and then do more of what works. We're here to help if you need it!

Optimizing Campaigns

Making your LinkedIn ads better is key to getting more out of what you spend and hitting your business goals. The LinkedIn Ads dashboard has everything you need to check out how your ads are doing, find problems, and make smart changes to get better results, all without needing to be a tech genius.

Here are simple ways to make your LinkedIn ad campaigns work harder for you:

Analyze Performance Trends

Look at your numbers over time to spot patterns. Important things to keep an eye on include:

  • How often your ads are shown and to how many people
  • How many clicks and the percentage of clicks to views (CTR)
  • How much each click costs (CPC)
  • How many people do what you want them to do after clicking (conversions) and the rate of conversion
  • How much money you make compared to what you spend (ROAS)

Use charts to make it easier to see these trends. See if your numbers are going up, down, staying the same, or jumping around.

Look at different parts like where people live, who they are, what devices they use, and what kind of ads they see.

Seeing these trends helps you understand what's working and what needs a change.

Identify Optimization Opportunities

Once you know how your ads are doing, you can see where you need to make them better, such as:

  • If not many people are seeing your ads
    • Try reaching more types of people
    • Spend more or offer more for clicks
  • If not many people are clicking your ads
    • Try new pictures or words
    • Make your message clearer
  • If clicks are getting expensive
    • Be more specific about who sees your ad
    • Lower your offer
  • If not many people are doing what you want after clicking
    • Think about your offer again
    • Make the next steps easier
  • If you're spending more than you're making
    • Cut back on ads that aren't working
    • Put more into ads that are making money

Make changes based on what the numbers tell you to get the most out of your ads.

Make Adjustments to Underperforming Campaigns

For ads that aren't doing well, use the dashboard to:

  • Find out what's not working
