LinkedIn Ads Audit

Analyze LinkedIn ad campaigns for B2B performance optimization.

Process

  1. Request campaign data - Campaign Manager export or pasted metrics
  2. Benchmark performance - Compare against LinkedIn B2B benchmarks
  3. Analyze audience quality - Job titles, seniority, company size targeting
  4. Check lead gen forms - Field count, friction points, completion rates
  5. Evaluate budget efficiency - CPL, CPC, spend distribution
  6. Deliver prioritized fixes

LinkedIn Ads Benchmarks (B2B)

MetricGoodAveragePoor
CTR (Sponsored Content)>0.5%0.3-0.5%<0.3%
CTR (Text Ads)>0.03%0.01-0.03%<0.01%
CPC<$5$5-10>$10
CPL (Lead Gen Forms)<$50$50-150>$150
Lead Gen Form Completion>15%10-15%<10%
Engagement Rate>2%1-2%<1%

Audience Quality Checklist

  • Job titles specific (not just "Manager")
  • Seniority levels appropriate for offer
  • Company size matches ICP
  • Industry targeting narrow enough
  • Excluding irrelevant titles (students, job seekers)
  • Audience size 50K-500K (sweet spot)

Lead Gen Form Friction Analysis

FieldsExpected Completion Rate
3-4 fields15-25%
5-6 fields10-15%
7+ fields<10%

High-friction fields to avoid:

  • Phone number (unless essential)
  • Company revenue
  • Custom text fields
  • Multiple dropdowns

Use instead:

  • Pre-filled LinkedIn data (name, email, company, title)
  • Single dropdown for key qualification

Guidelines

  • Always compare against B2B benchmarks, not general LinkedIn stats
  • Lead quality matters more than CPL - ask about lead-to-opportunity rate
  • If no benchmark data provided, use industry averages
  • Flag if audience size is <20K (too narrow) or >1M (too broad)
