How we made this report, in three simple steps*

*it actually took a lot more work and hours than this list gives off, but we won't bore you with the details. This is the gist.

1. We ran a ton of campaigns

154, to be exact. These were B2B campaigns across healthcare, cybersecurity, banking, manufacturing, and more.

2. We compiled the data

Anonymizing it, of course — we respect our client's privacy. It helps to have a data analyst on staff. He was able to apply best practices to all data collection.

3. We put it in this PDF. For you.

You'll also find our personal definition of commonly-used LinkedIn ad metrics, a list of the outcomes we've seen possible through the LinkedIn platform, and several steaming hot takes.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this guide for?

As a consultancy specialized in LinkedIn ads, we've worked on a lot of campaigns. We know what "good" looks like and we want you to know, too. This eBook is the first time we've made our internal benchmarks publicly available. Download this guide if you're looking to learn more about what LinkedIn ad campaigns are capable of and whether you're on track.

Where does the data in this report come from?

All of the data in this report is proprietary, i.e., we collected it ourselves. Some from Abe campaigns, some from our sister agency Directive Consulting, which uses the same methodology.

Can Abe run my LinkedIn ads for me?

Gladly! Our eBook contains lots of tips, but if you're a bit too busy for the DIY approach, we'd be happy to chat about a partnership.
