How success is measured
LinkedIn Ads for enterprise and SaaS: common questions
More LinkedIn Ads programs
How much of an enterprise paid budget should go to LinkedIn?
It depends on how well your ICP can be targeted and how long your cycle is. We recommend a pilot with a clear comparison group rather than a fixed percentage, then adjust using meetings and pipeline.
Does LinkedIn work for SaaS with a short cycle?
It can, particularly for higher-priced products with multi-person buying groups. For low-priced, self-serve products, other channels are often more efficient, and we will say so.
