Case Study
Lead Generation via LinkedIn Ads for a B2B Firm
Problem Statement
The B2B firm aimed to generate high-quality leads through LinkedIn ads. The goal was to reach decision-makers and key influencers, reduce cost per lead (CPL), and improve lead quality using LinkedIn’s advanced targeting features.
Challenge
The firm faced several challenges:
- High Cost per Lead (CPL): Despite generating leads, the CPL was higher than expected, making the campaigns less cost-efficient.
- Lead Quality Issues: Many leads were not qualified, resulting in low conversion rates in the sales pipeline.
- Targeting Difficulties: The firm struggled to effectively target the right decision-makers on LinkedIn, leading to wasted ad spend and missed opportunities.
Solution Provided
We crafted a targeted LinkedIn ad strategy using precise audience segmentation and custom audiences to reach key decision-makers. High-converting ads with clear CTAs promoted valuable lead magnets like whitepapers and consultations. A retargeting campaign re-engaged interested prospects, while ongoing A/B testing and optimization improved ad performance, reduced costs, and boosted lead quality.
