Chicago LinkedIn Ads Agency

A LinkedIn Ads agency plans, builds and runs your paid campaigns on LinkedIn. That covers audience and offer research, account structure, tracking, ad creative, lead magnets and landing pages, bidding and budgets, and reporting. The aim is a steady flow of the right decision makers entering your pipeline, at a cost per qualified lead that your sales numbers can support.

We do, remotely. Strategy sessions and monthly reviews happen over video calls on Central time, and a shared dashboard shows your spend, leads and opportunities in real time between calls.

Google Ads catches people who are already searching for what you sell. LinkedIn is a discovery platform: nobody searches for your service on it, so you interrupt a professional with a relevant offer based on who they are, such as job title, seniority, industry and company. That changes the ad copy, the offer and the funnel. If you want both, see our Google Ads management service, and we plan the two channels together.

It is worth it when a customer is valuable enough to justify a higher cost per click and when your buyers can be identified by job title or company. It is usually the wrong channel when a sale is worth a few hundred dollars or when your buyer could be anyone. We will tell you which side of that line you are on before you spend anything.

Single image and video ads, carousel and document ads, message and conversation ads in the LinkedIn inbox, lead gen forms that pre-fill from the member's profile, and retargeting to website visitors and uploaded lists. We choose the format by the job it has to do. See our thought leadership ads and LinkedIn retargeting pages for two formats we run often.

They will respond to useful information. Technical buyers skip promotional copy, but they read specifications, application notes, short videos of equipment in use and comparisons that help them make a case internally. We target by job function, seniority and industry, and build offers around those assets rather than a generic “contact us”.

We combine job title, job function, seniority, industry and company size with lists of the specific companies you want to win, and layer in matched audiences such as website visitors and your own contact lists. Then we exclude the people who should never see the ad, such as existing customers, competitors and your own staff, because wasted impressions are what make LinkedIn expensive. For a deeper look, read our guide to LinkedIn custom audiences.

Plan on the first four to six weeks as a learning period. We test audiences, offers and creative, and cut what does not work before we scale what does. You will see leads and cost per lead early. Revenue takes longer because B2B sales cycles are long, which is why we also report on qualified leads and opportunities from your CRM, not only form fills.

In our experience, lead gen forms usually deliver more submissions at a lower cost per lead because the form is pre-filled and the member never leaves LinkedIn, while landing pages usually deliver higher lead quality because the visitor reads more and commits more. We test both against the same offer and judge them on qualified leads, then keep the one your sales team actually wants to call. Our conversion rate optimization team builds and tests the landing pages.

Usually, because the metro spans Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin and many plants and distribution centers sit outside the city itself. We set geography by where your target accounts employ decision makers, keep suburban and national campaigns separate where the offer differs, and compare cost per opportunity across each.

Yes. We install the LinkedIn Insight Tag and conversion tracking, connect LinkedIn to your CRM where you have one, and report on qualified leads, opportunities and pipeline. We flag when a cheap lead source is producing leads that never become deals, so budget moves to the audiences that produce revenue.

Yes, and it usually works better that way. LinkedIn creates demand among the people you want to sell to, while search and organic content capture them when they go looking. We run Google Ads, B2B SEO and Meta ads under one plan so budget follows performance across channels.
