FAQ

Questions we get asked.

Is LinkedIn too expensive?

To be fair, it is actually really expensive. But it’s also the only B2B platform, and LinkedIn know it. As long as you make the most of every impression and cut any waste from your program, it can actually be good value. But it’s easy to waste your full budget if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Who writes the ads?

We do, from your story. You approve every line before it runs. We collaborate on a good story using our proven story framework based on the problem they have, how you solve it, the benefit they get, the consequence if they don’t solve it and the social proof of you doing it for others.

What about Meta and Reddit?

We run multiple social channels for all of our clients. The difference between LinkedIn and others is that on the others, you have to bring your own data, which is fine. Just upload your target account list into a data enrichment platform, get the hashed emails, and then we can do account-based marketing across any social channel.

Lead gen forms or landing pages?

Both have a place. LinkedIn’s own forms convert better because they fill themselves in. A calendar or a landing page books fewer people, but each one is booked in. Both have their place for different purposes.

How do you stop junk leads?

First good targeting, but LinkedIn always somehow goes outside of it due to how the platform works. So we identify the area of waste and then adjust targeting and exclusions in order to improve the quality over time. The best way to do this is if you have an internal scoring system for leads, which we can integrate into our operations. However, if you don’t have that, we have our own tools that use AI to match the leads to your ICP and flag any bad ones. Either way, we’re constantly optimising.
