LinkedIn Ads is the advertising platform of LinkedIn, specialized in B2B marketing. Its strength is unique professional targeting: job, function, industry, company size and name, seniority, skills. It reaches decision-makers precisely, at the price of one of the highest costs per click on the market.

What is LinkedIn Ads used for?

LinkedIn Ads is used to generate qualified B2B leads and build awareness among precise professional audiences. Formats range from sponsored content in the feed to InMail messages and built-in lead generation forms. It is the reference paid channel for selling to businesses.

LinkedIn Ads or another network?

Against Meta Ads or Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads costs more per click but reaches a B2B audience unavailable elsewhere with this precision. For B2C, other networks are more cost-effective; for high-value B2B, LinkedIn is justified.

How much does LinkedIn Ads cost?

There is no subscription: you pay on auction, per click, impression or lead, with a freely defined budget but a recommended daily minimum. Cost per click is high, often several euros, reflecting a very qualified audience.

Frequently asked questions about LinkedIn Ads

Why is LinkedIn Ads so expensive?▼
Because it reaches a very qualified, rare B2B audience, hard to reach elsewhere with this precision. The high cost per click is justified by the value of the targeted decision-makers.
Is LinkedIn Ads suitable for B2C?▼
Not much: its targeting and cost are designed for B2B. For B2C, networks like Meta Ads or Google Ads are far more cost-effective.
