Ads Best Practices
• Lifetime Value (LTV) - The foundational metric you mustunderstand. Your client's LTV needs toexceed their acquisition cost forprofitability.
To fix this and make sure you are not missing any marks when it comes to tracking your ads on LinkedIn, you need to track:
Form submissions
The number of booked calls
The number of purchases
• ROI Focus - Track and ensure positive return oninvestment by regaining spend andaccumulating profit over time.
• Conversion Tracking - Monitor form submissions, booked calls, andpurchases through dedicated thank-youpages.
• Standard Ads - Traditional options including posts, images,videos, and lead gen forms
• Thought Leader Ads - Build credibility through trusted voicesusing personal profiles or influencers
• Organic to Paid - Test posts organically first, then boostsuccessful ones with ads
Here's a simple solution I've seen to make tracking easy. Create thank-you page(s) for different traffic. You'll be able to track separateactions that land someone on a specific URL. If you have multiple channels, duplicate the thank-you page, change the slug a bit, and sendtraffic there.
You could be testing various posts organically and once some of them go viral or achieve good results, youcan additionally boost them with Thought Leader Ads.This works great because they already have organic validation, so there's a high chance that the ads experiment will be instantlysuccessful& if you do the targeting right, of course.
