Summary:
Most advertisers think they’re doing well… until the audit comes. In this episode, AJ Wilcox shares real benchmark data from 400+ LinkedIn Ads accounts to help you answer one crucial question: Are your campaigns actually working?
You’ll learn:
- The average CTR, CPC, and CVR across every ad format
- What’s “good” vs. “bad” performance for your campaigns
- Why cost per click isn’t just about your bid
- How to identify if your problem is the ad or the landing page
- Why LinkedIn’s dashboard lies to you (especially with Sponsored Messaging)
- And a simple test to know if your offer sucks—or just your form
This is your official LinkedIn Ads health check. Don’t launch another campaign without hearing this first.
