Founder/CMO @ Speedwork: Scale w/ LinkedIn Ads 🚀 | SpeedworkSocial.com | Top 50 Linkedin Certified Marketing Expert | Ex-IBM | We’re Hiring!

Small, but very helpful LinkedIn Ads update: Lead Forms now pre-fill based on the campaign-targeted position.
 
On LinkedIn, many people have 2nd and 3rd roles on their profile (heck I've seen people with 10+).
 
Those additional roles can be: side hustles, advisor roles, investors, etc etc.
 
For example: I've published courses on LinkedIn Learning, and I list that on my profile.
 
So given all these extra roles that people can have, previously looking at the Job Title + Company listed on the lead form submission data may "look" like your leads were off-target, just because it was pulling in the wrong role versus what you were targeting.
 
Your lead data should look more on-point going forward 🙏

I spy a new feature rollout 🕵️‍♂️ → The new Content Hub
 
This will be very handy for Thought Leader Ad content management.
 
This is especially useful for enterprise accounts that have a lot of internal thought leaders, and a lot of organic mentions out there.
 
Great to see more features coming for the very effective thought leader ad format.
 
A few wishlist items:
* Ability to search/filter for employees easier
* Create lists of employees (who we most commonly boost)
* Management of auto-approval for employees
* Content performance indications (like engagement rate or reactions) to guide us when selecting which post to boost.
* Better TL ad reporting - it's very limited when exporting + getting API data

Love to see the updates LinkedIn for Marketing 🙌

Last week, I saw someone say Thought Leader Ads are flashy but don't drive sales. Whaaat?! Check this out 👇
 
Vertical: Executive Education
Target Audience: Business Owners
ACV: $24,000
 
We're using Thought Leader ads to tell the story... and prospects are eating it up.
 
The average dwell time is 6.76 seconds. (2.3x longer than a typical company page ad).
 
The average CTR on cold TLAs is 5%. (12x higher)
So our CPC is $0.90. (11x lower)
 
Those are better stats than even Meta can offer, and the LinkedIn targeting is on-point because we know we're reaching business owners.
 
That said, Meta is great addition for retargeting because yes most people spend some leisure time on FB or IG throughout the day.
 
⬇ LinkedIn drives qualified prospects
⬇ Retarget on LinkedIn
⬇ Retarget on Meta + GDN
📱 Schedule a call
⬇ Nurture via Email
✔️ Close
 
At the end of the day:
 
Cost of Acquisition: $3,816 / customer
Return on Ad Spend: 6.28x
 
I think it's important to callout, this funnel would NOT work with traditional company page ads. At 10x higher costs of $9-15 CPC, the CAC would be higher than the ACV.
 
Thought Leader Ads are enabling new funnels on LinkedIn that weren't previously possible.
 
That's a win for marketers (and for LinkedIn too)

Heads up for anyone running LinkedIn Ads:
Your Dwell Time metric is getting a boost 📈
 
LinkedIn is revising how Average Dwell Time is calculated to better reflect total viewing time per impression.
 
✅ Backdated to April 1, 2025
✅ Completed by October 16
✅ Expect to see a 20–30% increase on average
 
Why it matters:
Dwell Time is a leading signal of content quality and audience engagement.
This change gives us a more accurate read — especially for video and long-form content.
 
🧠 Pro tip: Compare Dwell Time against your CTR to understand performance. Some of the highest CTR ads have the lowest Dwell Time, and some of the highest Dwell Time ads have the lowest CTR. So don't kill the wrong ad.
 
The average used to be about ~3 seconds for a company page ad. Will be interesting to see what the new averages look like.
 
Let me know if you’re seeing any surprising shifts already.

People get 2nd opinions from other doctors all the time. So why not get another opinion on your LinkedIn Ads?
 
Are your metrics good?
Are you using the best strategy?
Or... could they perform even better?
 
Alllll valid questions.
 
I've personally worked with 300+ B2B organizations on their LinkedIn Ads over 10 years and $100M in ad spend.
 
Bring your strategic questions, bring your content questions, or bring your hardcore optimization questions.
 
Should you run demand gen or lead gen?
Should you use lead forms or web forms?
How should you integrate thought leadership content?
 
Once we chat and analyze your account, I can advise on strategy and tactics for your LinkedIn efforts. 
 
Plus, our team has built tools on top of the LinkedIn Ads API to pull more data than you can get in-platform, and chart it in a way that's useful.

Everyone says SaaS ads should educate.

Yes, but they also need to grab attention. And you’ve got 3 seconds to do that.

If your ad doesn’t spark curiosity or show value instantly, it’s gone.

We analyzed 20+ top-performing SaaS LinkedIn ads to see what actually works.

It’s not more education. It’s clarity.

There's a small mistake most people make in their posts – that great copywriters can spot a mile away. Have you seen it?
 
When your copy says “companies” or “marketers,” it feels distant.
When it says “you,” it feels personal.
 
People respond at a much higher rate when spoken to. They also comment at a much higher rate (which gets your posts that much more of a boost)
 
💬 Example:
❌ “Companies are struggling with pipeline now.”
✅ “If you're struggling with pipeline, then...”
✅ “Are you struggling with pipeline?”
 
This little shift changes everything.
More attention. More clicks.
 
👉 Watch this short clip to see why this works — and how to do it right.
 
Then listen to the full episode on LinkedIn Ads Radio with Kaila Vander Horn for the full breakdown. 🎧

I'm always curious about trends - today, let's hear when do y'all actually visit LinkedIn?
 
We talk a lot about content strategy, but timing plays a role in reach.
 
The algorithm rewards early engagement — so posting when your audience is active can help or hinder performance.
 
I’m curious… when do you usually check LinkedIn?

What time of the day do you usually visit LinkedIn?
